The annual event is jointly organised by the Strategic Alliance Vietnamese Ventures International and the US Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City. With the theme ‘Technology changes our lives,’ the conference offers an opportunity for Vietnamese and US experts to discuss the impacts of technology on consumers in four areas – film production, media and mobile networks, health care and agriculture and education. The conference will focus on rising concerns over food security and sustainable agricultural production while promoting innovation in businesses. A seminar will also take place between the business communities of both countries to enable companies to exchange information and seek out new partners.
