In the year, the country recorded 2.3 billion USD in investment disbursements through 141 deals, despite the global economic slowdown and tightening capital markets, Huy said, citing the recently published "Vietnam Innovation and Private Capital" report.
In addition to automation, AI is rapidly expanding into fields such as finance, health care, and e-commerce, driving smarter decision-making processes and increasing operational efficiency.
Although the total investment volume decreased, the number of deals in both venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) remained relatively stable, demonstrating that investors continue to maintain interest in Vietnam's long-term potential.
Notably, deals under 500,000 USD increased by 73%, indicating a strong rebound of the startup ecosystem.
