Second Proof of Concept competition kicks off
Climate change mitigation is the key topic of the second Proof of Concept (PoC) competition recently launched by the Vietnam Climate Innovation Centre (VCIC).
Speaking at the launching ceremony on April 28, Pham Duc Nghiem, VCIC deputy director highlighted that young enterprises and start-ups play a crucial role in mitigating climate change’s impacts on the environment by creating environmental-friendly, clean products, services and technologies and nudging them closer to people.
Through the competition, start-ups and young businesses will receive international training models developed by experts from the WB and the US’s leading incubator centres as well as call funds amounting to US$75,000 for the development, deployment and extension of a product or service.
