LOTTE Ventures Vietnam Joined DAVAS 2026 as Panel Speaker
LOTTE Ventures Vietnam was honored to participate as a panel speaker at the Da Nang Venture & Angel Summit (DAVAS) 2026, one of Vietnam’s leading annual startup and venture capital events.
Representing LOTTE Ventures Vietnam, Managing Director Huy Pham joined the panel discussion titled “National and Local Venture Capital Funds – Connecting with Global Investment Flows,” alongside representatives from:
- Ministry of Science & Technology
- Da Nang Department of Science & Technology
- Quest Ventures
- ThinkZone Ventures
- Daiwa Corporate Investment
- Singapore FinTech Association
The discussion focused on how Vietnam can strengthen its venture capital ecosystem through cross-border collaboration, public-private partnerships, and stronger connections with international investment networks.
During the discussion, LOTTE Ventures Vietnam shared the perspective that attracting international capital is only one part of building a sustainable innovation ecosystem.
Equally important is creating opportunities for startups to collaborate with global corporations through proof-of-concept (PoC) projects, open innovation initiatives, and commercialization partnerships. These practical collaborations help startups validate products, access new markets, and accelerate regional expansion.
As the corporate venture capital arm of LOTTE Group, LOTTE Ventures Vietnam continues to connect startups with business opportunities across the Group’s ecosystem while supporting cross-border innovation between Vietnam and Korea.
DAVAS 2026 brought together government agencies, venture capital funds, corporates, startups, and ecosystem builders to discuss the future of innovation and investment in Vietnam.
For LOTTE Ventures Vietnam, the event provided valuable opportunities to exchange perspectives with industry leaders, strengthen relationships with ecosystem partners, and explore future collaboration opportunities that can support startup growth in Vietnam and across the region.
We sincerely appreciate the invitation from the DAVAS 2026 Organizing Committee and look forward to seeing more meaningful collaborations emerge from conversations like these.
