(VOVWORLD) - Investment in Vietnam’s artificial intelligence (AI) increased eightfold in 2023, rising from 10 million to 80 million USD, said Vu Quoc Huy, director of the National Innovation Centre (NIC).
Vietnam’s private capital market recorded 2.3 billion USD in 2024, with a total of 141 deals, according to the recently released "Vietnam Innovation and Private Investment Report 2025."
