FundGo participates in the program "Survey on cooperation and investment linkage between Japan and Vietnam in Tra Vinh province"

On the morning of July 7, 2022, FundGo Creative Startup Investment Fund attended the program: "Survey on cooperation and investment linkage between Japan and Vietnam in Tra Vinh province" organized by the Japan - Vietnam Friendship Association in the Kansai region. The program was successful and promises to open up opportunities for multi-field cooperation, especially in Education in the near future. 

Over the past 20 years, Japan has been one of the largest bilateral donors to Vietnam. With a long-term relationship of friendship, cooperation and investment, the Japanese Government has actively provided financial and resource support to improve the quality of enterprises and the capacity of the workforce in Vietnam. This support has contributed positively to improving the investment environment and promoting the socio-economic development of our country. In particular, in the context of today's integration, Vietnam and Japan must strengthen cooperation to jointly promote rapid and sustainable economic development of the two countries.
