Honestly, UpYouth - Tech Startup Ecosystem’s incubation programs are among the best out there!

It’s the only program made by the youth and exclusively for the youth. So, join now for an unforgettable experience and become part of the first student-led incubator in Vietnam, you guys!

The best thing about UpYouth - Tech Startup Ecosystem is its people.

Startup is a very lonely road, you can not imagine it until you are in it. I'm grateful to have TechYouth along the road. Vucar leaves the program more confident and sure of who we are.

Enthusiasm, passion and expertise are what make TechYouth truly different from other startup support programs.

Joining TechYouth, our team has built problem-solving consulting not only like an engineer but also from the perspective of a real entrepreneur.

UpYouth is the best resource in Vietnam for students interested in startup.

In TechYouth, you can network with a community of like-minded GenZ founders. The connection with other startups still sustain after the incubator, helping each other out and sharing helpful knowledge.
