'This program allowed us to experience Vietnam in a most comfortable and curated fashion. The networking was organised promptly by competent local ecosystem mentors. The program allowed us to meet our Vietnamese partners with the active involvement of the mentors. As a market, Vietnam is a hot test bed with amazing diversity and the best location to build an scale operations in Asia.
