PERTH, AUSTRALIA – March 2026 — As Vietnam continues to rise as an innovation hub in Southeast Asia, the demand for global market access is accelerating. In response, InnoLab Asia successfully delivered the Go Global Program in Perth, creating new pathways for Vietnam–Australia collaboration while enabling Vietnamese tech companies to expand internationally.
Designed as more than a business mission, the Go Global Program serves as a structured market entry platform combining ecosystem access, strategic partnerships, and real business opportunities.
Vietnam: A Rising Innovation Destination in ASEAN
Vietnam is rapidly emerging as a dynamic innovation “sandbox” in ASEAN, attracting global interest with its strong growth, young talent pool, and fast-evolving startup ecosystem.
At the same time, Western Australia is advancing its shift toward technology, clean energy, and innovation-led growth creating strong alignment for strategic, cross-border collaboration.
Within this context, the Go Global Program acts as a two-way gateway, supporting Vietnamese companies going global while enabling international partners to effectively enter Vietnam.
InnoLab Asia: A Strategic Partner for Global Expansion
Through the Go Global Program, InnoLab Asia reinforces its role as a cross-border innovation platform, supporting companies from market readiness to international partnership execution.
During the program in Perth, InnoLab Asia led key organizations within its ecosystem, including:
- Lead The Change — an education organization focused on developing leadership and innovation capabilities for the next generation
- StarGlobal 3D — a technology startup currently being incubated and accelerated by InnoLab Asia, with a strong ambition for international market expansion
With a market-driven approach, the program goes beyond networking to focus on generating tangible outcomes. Notably, StarGlobal 3D has initiated multiple high-potential collaboration projects with partners in Western Australia, laying a strong foundation for its global growth journey.
Establishing Strategic Partnerships Through MOUs
A key highlight of the program was the successful signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) between InnoLab Asia and leading Australian organizations:
- Australian Institute of Machine Intelligence (AIMI)
Collaborating on executive training programs in innovation management, aimed at enhancing leadership capabilities across both public and private sectors in Vietnam.
PropTech Hub WA
Driving the adoption of digital technologies and innovation in the real estate and construction sectors, opening new avenues for cross-border collaboration.
These partnerships not only mark important milestones but also position InnoLab Asia as an “innovation broker”, bridging knowledge, technology, and resources across ecosystems.
Deep Engagement with Western Australia’s Innovation Ecosystem
The program enabled Vietnamese companies to gain direct access to key players within Western Australia’s innovation landscape, including:
- Spacecubed — one of the region’s leading innovation and startup hubs
- CORE Innovation Hub — focused on energy and resources innovation
- GreenTech Hub — advancing sustainable technology solutions
- WA Creative Tech Innovation Hub — supporting creative technology initiatives
In addition, the delegation participated in Energy Exchange Australia 2026, a flagship industry event bringing together global leaders in energy and technology, providing valuable exposure to international partners and emerging industry trends.
Strengthening Government and Institutional Connections
Another critical component of the program was engagement with government agencies and business support organizations in Western Australia, including:
- Trade and Investment Briefing hosted by the Government of Western Australia
- Small Business Development Corporation (SBDC)
- City of Cockburn
- Consulate General of Vietnam in Perth
These engagements provided Vietnamese companies with valuable insights into the investment landscape, policy frameworks, and long-term opportunities in the Australian market.
Advancing Education Collaboration and Talent Development
Beyond business and technology, the Go Global Program also emphasizes education as a cornerstone of sustainable innovation ecosystems.
Through Lead The Change, InnoLab Asia established connections with leading universities in Western Australia:
- University of Western Australia (UWA)
- Curtin University
- Murdoch University
- Edith Cowan University (ECU)
Discussions focused on developing internship programs, study tours, and student exchange initiatives, fostering cross-border learning experiences and contributing to the development of globally minded talent.
Elevating Vietnam’s Position on the Global Innovation Map
At the Vietnam – Western Australia Economic Forum, Mr. Huynh Cong Thang, Chairman of InnoLab Asia, highlighted Vietnam’s transformation:
“Vietnam is rapidly evolving not only as a manufacturing hub, but as an emerging innovation destination in the region. The Go Global Program is part of a long-term strategy to support Vietnamese companies in integrating more deeply into global value chains.”
This message resonated strongly with Australian businesses and investors, reinforcing Vietnam’s image as a dynamic and high-potential market.
Go Global Program: A Two-Way Gateway for Global Growth
The success of the Go Global Program in Australia reaffirms InnoLab Asia’s role not just as a program organizer, but as a strategic partner enabling global growth.
By combining market insights, international networks, and execution capabilities, InnoLab Asia is building a borderless innovation ecosystem where Vietnamese companies can expand globally, and international businesses can effectively enter Vietnam.
In a world increasingly shaped by innovation and technology, initiatives like the Go Global Program are not only creating business opportunities, but also contributing to Vietnam’s growing presence on the global economic stage.
