[Events] Strengthening Switzerland-Vietnam Cooperation through Women’s Empowerment and Innovation

We are thrilled to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Women in Tech®Vietnam & Women Tech Entrepreneurs (WIT/WTE) with the Swiss-Viet Economic Forum (SVEF) during the Swiss - Viet Economic Forum 2025 held in Da Nang from November 3–5, 2025 - a meaningful step toward fostering innovation, bilateral collaboration, and women’s leadership in technology and entrepreneurship.

This partnership reinforces our shared commitment to closing the gender gap in technology, supporting women’s participation in the digital economy, and driving sustainable growth through inclusive innovation.

The collaboration will focus on:

⭐ Exchange and Joint Participation: Facilitate participation of WIT/WTE delegations in SVEF’s economic and innovation forums in Switzerland and Vietnam, and reciprocally, SVEF’s representatives in WIT/WTE’s events such as the Women in Tech Forum or the APAC Summit. 

⭐ Joint Forums and Knowledge Exchange: Co-organize or co-host high-level dialogues, conferences, or roundtables on technology, entrepreneurship, and cross-border collaboration, bringing together policymakers, businesses, and innovation leaders from both countries. 

⭐ Visibility and Media Collaboration: Support mutual promotion and visibility through co-branding opportunities subject to prior written consent from both Parties, shared media coverage, and communication campaigns aligned with each Party’s annual event calendar and strategic initiatives. 

⭐ Innovation and Investment Facilitation: Explore opportunities to connect Swiss and Vietnamese stakeholders in innovation, education, and technology sectors: supporting networking, partnership development, and potential investment initiatives that promote sustainable growth.

Ms. Quyen Nguyen, Country Director of Women in Tech®Vietnam & Chairwoman of Women Tech Entrepreneurs shared: “This partnership with the Swiss-Vietnamese Economic Forum (SVEF) marks an important milestone in our mission to empower women through technology and innovation. By connecting the ecosystems of Switzerland and Vietnam, we aim to create meaningful opportunities for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and investment that uplift women entrepreneurs and professionals in tech.”

Together, we are not only building bridges between two nations - we are shaping a more inclusive, innovative, and equitable future for women in technology. ✨
