The festival featured a range of activities, including exhibitions of outstanding OCOP products, startup products, and high-ranking student research projects; the awarding ceremony for the 2025 Student Research Competition; and the launch of the 2026 Student Research Competition.

The event is designed to promote entrepreneurship and innovation among young people and students, providing a space for networking, exchanging ideas, and exploring exemplary creative models and products.

During the program, the Da Nang Youth Union, in collaboration with the Community Fund for Disaster Prevention, awarded scholarships under the “For a Green Future – No Student Left Behind Due to Disasters” initiative to 22 disadvantaged students, totaling VND 220 million, and provided VND150 million in home repair support for Tran Ngoc Thien Ngan in Hoa Khanh Ward.

Le Cong Hung, Secretary of the Da Nang Youth Union said, “The annual Innovation and Startup Festival has become a regular and influential platform for students and youth in Da Nang. More importantly, young people gain access to city policies and technologies related to entrepreneurship, enabling them to confidently research, invest in, and implement projects. This fosters a citywide community of innovative startups and generates products that will contribute to Da Nang’s economic value in the near future.”
