TECHFEST runs a National Innovation Control Tower so ecosystem parties can observe signals, connect resources, and convert them into provable action — instead of chasing disconnected headlines.
Stop & Understand
On the ops viewport, users see foundation signals: Local Nodes syncing, open digital-market opportunities, and items that still need source checks before escalation.
Prepare & Connect
AI Matching suggests fit expert–project pairs; Evidence Passport tracks trust (source, time, scope, independent review). Matching decisions stay human — AI does not replace accountability.
Act & Create value
Next Best Action opens a concrete task: verify a signal, open a First Customer pilot (Review gate), or move to iVietnam / Life In Vietnam for country context. Capital Readiness stays LOCKED on the UI — readiness only, no capital brokerage.
This News surface upgrades the FDITODAY News pattern (hero, stream, filters, three understanding layers) into TECHFEST branding and ops — for national digital infrastructure around innovation and startups.
