The Next-Gen Business Platform for Vietnam and Beyond
Enter Vietnam Innovators Digest (VNID), a dynamic platform from Vietcetera launching in May 2025.
VNID is a content ecosystem rich with actionable advice from key industry leaders like CEOs and investors. As Vietnam’s economic growth propels it onto the international scene, VNID will be at the helm to lead the charge of Vietnamese innovation.
The launch of Vietnam Innovators Digest helps build bridges and take pride in leading the way for innovative content both online and offline. This includes platforms and forums, where like-minded business professionals can connect, learn and grow together.
Vietcetera CEO and Founder Hao Tran explained the team's visions behind a separate business media platform: "As our Vietcetera ecosystem grew with more general interest content, we saw an opportunity to renew our commitment to a focused voice on startups, business, and innovation. This will allow us to serve our readers better and to deepen our coverage."
At its core, Vietnam Innovators Digest is a window into business and innovation in Vietnam. Whether you're a startup founder, corporate decision-maker, investor, or curious observer of Vietnam’s meteoric rise, the Digest offers a view of the country’s most exciting stories—from boardroom strategies to back-alley startups going global.
"Vietnam Innovators Digest is not just a brand, it is a commitment to our business community that we will continue to connect, innovate and grow together. It is a shared vision to put Vietnam on the map, sharing insights, inspiration and stories about the leaders of today and tomorrow,” added David Nguyen, General Manager of Vietnam Innovators Digest.
Started in 2020 as a podcast by Vietcetera, Vietnam Innovators' mission was to provide listeners with unscripted, insightful discussions with business leaders shaping Vietnam's rapidly evolving economy.
Since its launch, with the inaugural episode featured Phùng Tuấn Đức, then Country General Manager of Gojek Vietnam, the podcast has expanded to feature over 500 guests, including CEOs, founders, and industry experts from Vietnam and around the world. Today it is the flagship bilingual podcast brand in Vietnamese business media.
In 2025, global and regional executives have been a mainstay of the podcast, sharing their views on the Vietnamese economy and investment opportunities in a global context.
In Q1 of 2025, Vietnam Innovators Podcast welcomed Jacob Aarup Andersen, CEO of Carlsberg Group, a globally acknowledged executive that exemplifies a leadership style characterized by resilience, purpose-driven engagement, and strategic foresight. His approach integrates financial discipline with a commitment to sustainability and innovation.
“With Vietnam Innovators Digest, we are launching a new, focused platform on these topics, with the same voice we know and love from Vietcetera.” according to Hao Tran.
Expect coverage of startups, innovative breakthroughs, astute leadership and Vietnam’s continuous disruption as it climbs the ranks of the world economy, powered by Vietcetera; the brand bringing Vietnam to the world, and the world to Vietnam.
A Mission That Matters
Vietnam Innovators Digest exists with one goal in mind: to empower Vietnam’s next generation of changemakers with the expert-driven content and actionable insights they need to lead in today’s dynamic economy.
We cover the “what” and the “why”—but we go even deeper into the “how.” Our stories are designed to decode market trends, profile visionary leaders, explore investment opportunities and economic shifts, and offer insights on strategy, tech, and investment.
Because we believe that access to the right ideas at the right time can transform a career, a business, and even an entire industry.
