Application Deadline Extended to October 31, 2026
Under the theme “From Tech to Life”, the TECHFEST Vietnam 2026 National Innovative Startup Talent Competition aims to identify innovative startups developing products, services, and technological solutions with practical applications, the potential to meet market demands, and the ability to create economic and social value.
According to the revised schedule, the application deadline has been extended to 11:59 PM on October 31, 2026. Participating startups are required to complete their applications in English and submit them online through the official registration form provided by the Organizing Committee.
The extension allows startups additional time to review and supplement information about their products, business models, testing results, and evidence of practical technology applications, thereby improving the quality of their competition submissions.
Updated Key Milestones of the Competition
Under the revised timeline, following the application deadline on October 31, 2026, the Organizing Committee is expected to complete the selection process and announce the Top 100 by November 8, 2026. Updated applications will then be evaluated, with the Top 30 scheduled to be announced by November 19, 2026.
The Semifinal Round is scheduled to take place online on November 26, 2026. The Top 10 finalists will be announced on December 3, 2026, ahead of the National Final Round, which is scheduled to be held in person in Hanoi on December 11, 2026.
Through the selection and evaluation stages, the competition aims to identify innovative startups with strong development potential while creating opportunities for them to connect with experts, investors, and startup support organizations from Vietnam and abroad.
The Organizing Committee encourages participating startups to carefully prepare their applications, clearly demonstrate the distinctive features of their products, practical applicability, and market potential, and ensure consistency across the registration form, pitch deck, and supporting documents.
