Canada and Vietnam share a growing opportunity to build stronger connections through technology, business, and community. The two countries complement each other in many meaningful ways. Canada has a strong innovation ecosystem, advanced research capabilities, a mature technology market, and a multicultural business environment. Vietnam, meanwhile, has a fast-growing digital economy, a dynamic technology workforce, competitive ICT capabilities, and an increasingly active startup and innovation ecosystem.

Together, these strengths create significant potential for collaboration in ICT, software development, AI, digital transformation, cybersecurity, education, talent development, investment, and market expansion.

There is also a large and growing Vietnamese community studying, working, researching, teaching, managing, and building businesses in the technology sector in Canada. As Canada is a country that places great value on community, many social and professional activities — including higher education, career development, entrepreneurship, and business growth — are strongly supported by networks, references, and trusted connections. This is especially true in the technology sector, where collaboration, trust, and connectivity play a critical role in success.

With this understanding, Canada-Vietnam Tech Association (CVTA), formerly known as VICAIT, was established to connect Canada and Vietnam through technology, business, and community. CVTA aims to bring together individuals, companies, organizations, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, educators, and ecosystem partners who are active in or connected to ICT and technology-related fields.

Our mission is to strengthen technology collaboration between Canada and Vietnam, create meaningful business opportunities, support professional growth, and foster a trusted community where members and partners can share knowledge, exchange experience, and grow together.

CVTA welcomes ICT companies, startups, service providers, entrepreneurs, investors, students, professionals, researchers, educators, and organizations from both Canada and Vietnam. By connecting people, businesses, and institutions across both countries, CVTA seeks to support a comprehensive ecosystem for technology collaboration, business connectivity, talent development, and community growth.

Through networking events, business matching, seminars, workshops, mentorship, and community initiatives, CVTA provides a platform for knowledge sharing, skills development, partnership building, and market connection. Beyond supporting the local Vietnamese technology community in Canada, CVTA also aspires to contribute to stronger technological, scientific, educational, and business cooperation between Canada and Vietnam.

On this foundation, CVTA looks forward to the enthusiastic participation and valuable contributions of individuals and organizations from both countries. With your involvement, we believe CVTA can grow stronger in both quality and scale, creating more opportunities and long-term value for the Canada-Vietnam technology ecosystem.

We warmly welcome your participation, partnership, and contribution to CVTA — connecting Canada and Vietnam through technology, business, and community.
