The Tuoi Tre Startup Award 2025, held under the theme Co-creating the future with AI, aims to inspire and showcase startups using AI to address real-world challenges across environment, agriculture, education, and healthcare.

Awards criteria focus on the problem and innovativeness of the solution, technology and competitive advantage, team and commercialization potential, business model and investment viability, and the project’s interactivity and persuasiveness.

Two top prizes were awarded: the Startup Star prize of 100 million VND for cash and the Startup Inspiration prize of 50 million VND, each accompanied by a communications package.

Over 100 applications were received nationwide, with ten standout projects selected through preliminary rounds to be honoured at the awards night.

The sixth season of the award featured activities such as an AI-driven startups seminar, the 2025 award announcement, and a Coffee Talk with experts to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking.

Since its inception, the award has supported more than 1,000 startup projects and honoured hundreds, serving as a springboard for young enterprises and a platform for knowledge exchange with experts, investors, and successful businesses.
