The event, taking place from July 4 to 7, is a chance to boost cooperation between Vietnam and America technological businesses.

The annual event, themed “Technology Immersing Our Lives”, is also held to promote and strengthen trade relations between Vietnam and the US in the field of technology, trade and investment, said Consul General Le Thanh An.

“There will also be opportunities to brainstorm and collaborate on education and sustainable agriculture, sectors being rapidly changed by technology and visionary entrepreneurs,” An added.

There are about 15 American businessmen and experts who participate in the conference to discuss new US-invented technologies and thinking in seven main areas, including movie production, media, digital consent/payment, healthcare (stem cell research and technological applications in skincare and eye-care), agriculture (biotechnology in agriculture), education and entrepreneurships.

The presentations and discussion panels joined by US and Vietnamese experts in the related fields of technology will take place during the daytime.

The evening session will be set for Vietnamese enterprises to register to meet directly with US firms to learn about the technologies as well as find opportunities for cooperation.

“I am confident during this program many creative ideas will be born and shared; and that unexpected new collaborations will be founded,” An said.

The four-day conference is held in partnership with SAVVi Angels Network, Saigon Hi-Tech Park (SHTP), and VinaCapital Foundation. Its diamond, platinum and gold sponsors are the Windsor Property Management Group Corporation (WMC Group), BOSE, and New World Saigon Hotel respectively.
