“Dr Jonathan Choi and Sunwah Group spare no effort to promote innovation and technology as a growth engine for the region for long. The establishment of this platform is just at the perfect timing. With the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) being signed by 15 Asian economies earlier this month (December 2020), we can expect a significant growth for the collaborations between Vietnam and other counterparts in the I&T sector.
We are delighted to partner with SWIIP for our startups to explore the Vietnamese market. For Vietnamese startups eyeing the Greater China market, especially the Greater Bay Area, Cyberport would be your springboard and navigator.”

“With the resources to be integrated, from both the SWIIP and the University of Macau, we would be able to provide more resources for students from not only Macau, but also the other regions in Asia, for them to create greater impact to the society.”
