Ecosystems

Vietnam

Vietnam broke into the global top 50 startup ecosystems for the first time in 2026, and Ho Chi Minh City cracked the global top 100 alongside it. Three cities are driving that climb: Ho Chi Minh City, the commercial engine with 30,000 ICT firms and a new city-backed venture fund; Hanoi, home to Vietnam's flagship national hi-tech park and its deepest ICT talent pool; and Da Nang, the newest of the three, still emerging.

The commercial core around Gadong and Kiulap, where the Brunei Economic Development Board's accelerator programme and a small cluster of homegrown tech companies operate.

Anggerek Desa Tech Park (ADTP)

A DARe-managed park 3km from the airport, built out in phases: the iCentre runs a tech and innovation incubation programme, the Knowledge Hub facilitates R&D, and the US$14M Design & Technology Building hosts tenants including Autodesk, SideFX and Beijing Sesame World Technologies. Its Business Support Centre has served as a single licensing and permit portal since 2016.

Pavo Point

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.
