Mr. Cong-Thang HUYNH CEO – Co Founder of InnoLab Asia – stressed the importance of Lancang Mekong region collaboration and innovation in thriving together in the new age of a changing world.
This program built readiness for the new generation of leaders to enter competition in a new economic context by using science and technology as the basis.

Since Technology and Innovation are linked together in this day and age, this program is critical in helping new entrepreneurs conduct business appropriately in order to create additional career opportunities and strengthen the competitiveness of the country in the present and in the future.
