Center for Research on Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Digital Economy (IEDE) – Trung tâm Đổi mới sáng tạo và Kinh tế số  established in 2017 by KisImpact.

With the goal of promoting the development of the digital economy and building a vibrant innovation-driven startup ecosystem, IEDE is tasked with closely collaborating with partners to implement research, training, coaching, and investment connection programs that create long-term and impactful results within the entrepreneurial community.

We are honored to introduce the center's logo on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of KisStartup. The logo features a modern design with stylized letters “IEDE” in blue tones, symbolizing hope and the transformative power of technology for the future. A key highlight of the logo is a lightbulb integrated into the letter “D”, representing continuous creativity and innovation.

Accompanied by the slogan “Turning Insights into Innovation”, IEDE aspires to transform deep market and customer insights into breakthrough innovation, leveraging available resources to foster the growth of the digital innovation startup ecosystem. With a mission to advance research and application in innovation, IEDE positions itself as a pioneering force in the development of Vietnam’s digital economy and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Over its 8 years of operation, IEDE has conducted both academic research and internationally published studies, as well as commissioned research for organizations and enterprises. Additionally, IEDE has partnered with universities and researchers to pursue deeper studies in innovation, entrepreneurship, and digital transformation. The center also continues to nurture a young team of researchers, contributing to the formation of insightful and highly practical knowledge for Vietnam’s startup ecosystem and international collaboration. 

In 2 days of October 11 and 12, 2019, KisStartup in collaboration with VinTech City conducted training for 50 lecturers from 24 universities from the Central and the North of Vietnam, at the University of Technology, Hanoi National University. The training course focused on providing basic tools, basic concepts in innovation and entrepreneurship to help lecturers with understanding of innovation tools while using these tools in supporting startups and developing the activities of their Innovation and Entrepreneurship clubs at school in the coming period. In the framework of the program, we also invite experts on the national startup ecosystem, intellectual property and one start-up- WISAMI to join students in exchanging and sharing important experiences and knowledge.

At the end of the program, KisStartup is committed to continue to support the creative start-up club leaders in technology, the lecturers continue to develop their activities, and exchange connections to promote activities among 24 universities.
