Ho Chi Minh City

Vietnam

Vietnam's commercial capital entered the global top 100 startup ecosystems for the first time in 2026, rising 12 places to 98th. The city runs on two engines: a dense software-park core with roughly 30,000 ICT firms, and a fast-maturing venture capital scene now backed by the city government itself.

QTSC & Saigon Hi-Tech Park
Together the two parks host 112 projects and around 30,000 ICT firms, ranking HCMC as a top-5 Southeast Asian startup ecosystem and #2 globally in blockchain innovation.

Saigon Hi-Tech Park

Brunei's newest Grade A building, a 10-storey mixed retail-and-office tower in central Kianggeh. Its corporate office floors are still filling with mainstream tenants rather than tech firms today, but the building's modern specification and central location give it real potential to become BSB's next tech-adjacent office address as the startup scene outgrows Gadong and Kiulap.

Startup and Innovation Hub of HCMC

The city's leading startup support hub, offering legal affairs, intellectual property, finance, fundraising and technology-development assistance to founders.
