On the night of August 23, alongside the Startup Wheel awards ceremony, Innoex 2024 officially concluded, marking the end of Ho Chi Minh City's largest innovation event. This year's event left a lasting impression with remarkable highlights and groundbreaking innovations from various startups.  

Innoex 2024  

Innoexis an annual international event that promotes innovation and sustainable growth for the business community in Vietnam and the ASEAN region. First held in Ho Chi Minh City in August 2023, InnoEx integrates long-standing programs such as the Vietnam CEO Forum and the Startup Wheel competition.  

This year's event was particularly notable for hosting two major startup competitions: Startup Wheel and Green Innovation Fellowship. These competitions provided a crucial platform for startups to present innovative ideas and sustainable solutions, attracting the attention of investors and potential partners. InnoEx 2024 was not only a gathering of pioneering individuals and organizations in innovation but also a unique opportunity for businesses to enhance their competitive edge through cutting-edge initiatives.  

Startup Wheel 2024  

Within the framework of Innoex, the semifinal and final rounds of Startup Wheel 2024 took place. This competition continues to play a vital role in fostering entrepreneurial spirit and innovation, providing a valuable platform for startups to showcase their ideas and solutions.  

Startup Wheel 2024 was more than just a competition; it was a chance for startups to connect with investors, strategic partners, and industry experts. This year, Startup Wheel reaffirmed its commitment to supporting and developing startup initiatives while contributing to the sustainable growth of the global business community.

GIF is a prestigious competition for startups and green solution groups, running from February to August. This year, GIF received over 120 applications from around the world, including Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Vietnam. After a rigorous selection process, deep interviews, and specialized training, the competition culminated at InnoEx, Southeast Asia's leading innovation event, expected to attract around 500 experts in green innovation.  

The Top 5 projects in this year's Green Innovation Fellowship include: PVA Pro, BuyO, Bioplastics, VoX Cool, Wonder Greener, and NetZero Pallet by AirX Carbon.
