Kedge Business Angels pitch session #6
"Good Morning High Tech Vietnam!"
Asia's new tech-economic jewel - an opportunity for graduates
While China and India are the first countries that come to mind when discussing the outsourcing of information technology, other countries should be mentioned, and seriously considered, when making decisions. Such is the case of Vietnam, whose economic dynamism is driven by Hanoi, which hasn’t stopped attracting foreign investors and start-up companies.
Hoang Tran Van - IT Practice Manager & Director of Projects at Pentalog
Are you attracted to Asia, but don’t know exactly which Asian countries are booming, especially in the high-tech sector?
Can you picture yourself having a career in Asia, especially in Vietnam where there are very good IT techs and computer scientists? And where, perhaps, young managers could bring their skills?
KEDGE Alumni and Vincent GOALARD, the manager of our branch in Ho Chi Minh City have brought together a panel of professionals who have agreed to share their respective experiences with you and to offer you an objective view of the Vietnamese economy and the possible futures for both young graduates and graduates with more experience.
