Green Start-up Project Competition 2025 Final Underway in HCM City
The national final of the Green Start-up Project Competition 2025 is underway in HCM City, with 36 innovative start-ups vying for a total prize value of nearly VNĐ1 billion (US$37,948). The competition, which received 220 applications, focuses on sustainable solutions and has introduced new categories this year.
The contest is divided into two groups: Group A for new start-ups and Group B for enterprises operating under five years. The judging panel evaluates projects based on four key areas: green agriculture and food, recycling and circular economy, eco and community-based tourism, and green technology solutions. Additionally, two new categories have been introduced: 'Green Initiatives - Green Economy' and 'New Horizon and Agriculture'.
Many finalists have developed projects that transform agricultural by-products into high-value products, such as clean soil, biochar, and natural cosmetic ingredients. These projects not only promote sustainable agriculture but also create jobs in remote areas, as praised by economist Phạm Chi Lan. Finalists have received training on ecological farming, financial management, and pitching skills to prepare for the competition.
The winners of the 'New Horizon and Agriculture' category, which recognises enterprises with strong capacity and high-quality products meeting export standards, have yet to be announced. The competition aims to foster a green economy and support innovative start-ups in Vietnam.
