eligible for a 16-week specialised training.
At the festival, representatives from the five start-ups presented their
potential to investors, partners and start-up community to call for capital
and seek cooperation opportunities.

Programme Kim Wimbush said via funding initiatives to promote Ai applications,
Australia is delivering on its commitment to helping Vietnam overcome the
pandemic and restore its economy for a long-term./.
