[1st Batch 2026] L-Camp Vietnam Top 5: Meet the Startups Shaping Pilot Collaborations with LOTTE
At LOTTE Ventures Vietnam, we believe that the strongest innovation happens when high-potential startups get real access to corporate scale, not just funding. That is the founding idea behind L-Camp Vietnam, and it is what makes this next milestone especially meaningful to us.
We are proud to announce the Top 5 startups selected for the 1st batch of L-Camp Vietnam 2026, our open innovation program run in partnership with Impact Square (South Korea) under the KOICA IBS-ESG Initiative. After receiving more than 260 applications, these five startups were selected through a rigorous evaluation process. Notably, more than 35% of applicants were already venture-backed startups, reflecting the strong quality of companies that applied. Selected startups gain the opportunity to run pilot collaboration (PoC) projects with LOTTE affiliates in Vietnam, access up to USD 80,000 in total PoC grant funding, receive hands-on mentoring from LOTTE affiliates and domain experts, a showcase opportunity at InnoEx 2026, and the potential for direct investment from LOTTE Ventures for top-performing startups. The main program phase runs through December, including collaboration planning with LOTTE affiliates.
Congratulations to the following 5 startups:
Dayladau

Loudio

These five startups represent the diversity and ambition we look for in L-Camp Vietnam: retail innovation, hospitality technology, sustainable manufacturing, enterprise entertainment, and customer growth infrastructure. Over the coming months, each team will move into pilot collaboration planning with LOTTE affiliates in Vietnam, and all five will have the opportunity to showcase their progress at InnoEx 2026, a flagship innovation exhibition. We look forward to sharing their journey.
