Dear Valued Partners, Clients, and the KisStartup and KisImpact Network,
The final days of the year are always an opportunity for us to look back on the journey we have traveled, to express our gratitude to the people and values that have accompanied us and contributed to the successes we celebrate today:
- AI for Innovation
Every of our clients, from those with annual revenues in the hundreds of billions of VND to micro-enterprises generating less than one billion VND, is integrating AI and data into their digital transformation and innovation processes.
- Green Innovation
Initial pilots have demonstrated measurable financial benefits for businesses, including energy cost savings, recycling, and adding value for customers.
- Open Innovation & Commercialization Connections
Entering its second year of partnership with Mitsui Chemicals Group and the official collaboration with the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK, we have successfully brought research outcomes to market, connecting them with corporations, businesses, and investors.
- Innovation through Digital Transformation and Promoting an Inclusive Digital Ecosystem
With the trust of GREAT, we have partnered with hundreds of businesses in Lào Cai and Sơn La, along with universities, to introduce new concepts to these emerging but highly potential markets. Nearly 3,000 participants in project activities and over 2 billion VND in revenue growth within just three months of operation are tangible results that speak to the aspirations for change and the effective approach of the IDAP project – Enhancing the Inclusive Digital Transformation Ecosystem
- Business Models Based on Heritage Culture:
Aiming to promote the utilization of local resources to foster creativity and innovate traditional business models..
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all of you – those who have trusted, collaborated, and will continue to journey alongside KisStartup. The year 2024 was not just a year of challenges but also one in which we witnessed remarkable transformations within our KisStartup team. We have grown through small failures every day, through difficulties, and through the challenges we set for ourselves, emerging stronger, more skilled, and more professional.
With our vision of becoming an ever-evolving community of individuals and organizations driving innovation, building and developing in Vietnam, working globally, and creating sustainable impacts, this journey in 2024 would not have been possible without the core values that we have embraced, are committed to, and will continue to pursue: Empathy, Trusted Support, Creativity, Simplicity, Learning, Challenge Acceptance, Curiosity, and Transparency.
Thank you to our partners and clients, who have placed their trust in KisStartup and given us invaluable opportunities to serve. Your success is our greatest pride. Thank you to the startups, enterprises, universities, research institutes, and scientists, both domestically and internationally, who have contributed not only ideas and knowledge but also an unyielding spirit of innovation. You are a powerful source of inspiration for KisStartup to carry on its mission.

And last but not least, our heartfelt thanks to the KisStartup team – the individuals who continuously learn, empathize, and bravely embrace challenges. Your unwavering dedication and commitment have carried us through 2024, a year full of turbulence yet filled with pride.
As we step into 2025, we are committed to continuing to learn, innovate, and grow further to better serve not only small and micro-businesses but also large global clients. We firmly believe that innovation is the key to creating sustainable impacts and building a stronger community.
