Under the framework of USAID Vietnam Urban Energy Security project, The Exchange aims to bridge the gap between companies looking for energy initiatives and solution providers. The cooperation between two parties could lead to pilot these solutions and eventually embrace the open innovation culture in the Vietnam energy market. Also, these pilots could expand start-ups’ client networks, develop a new market and commercialize their products while also supporting the commercial partners to save up their R&D investments and operational costs. The program is looking for:
- Commercial partners (Large companies, industrial zones, industrial parks, hi-tech parks, universities, government facilities, etc.); having their office and operation/projects in Danang or HCMC and planning to pilot the solutions in these cities.
- Start-ups/SMEs with renewable energy, energy efficiency, smart and innovative solutions; and wishing to pilot and commercialize their products/solutions in Danang and/or HCMC.
The program consists of six stages:
- Challenge preparation and Scoping
- Industry demand aggregation
- Solution outreach
- Mentoring and training
- Matchmaking workshops
- Follow-up and reporting
* Participants are required to be involved in at least 3 stages. Timeline:
- Project I: November 2021 - April 2022
- Project II: March 2022 - September 2022
