About the programme

A working bridge between real problems and the companies who can solve them.

Project Cần Thơ 2030 is a multi-year Australia–Vietnam programme supporting Cần Thơ’s ambition to become the Mekong Delta’s hub for innovation, climate resilience and industry modernisation.

Who we are

Operated by a company already on the ground.

The Improbability Company (TIC) is a Melbourne-headquartered technology company with 40+ engineers operating in Cần Thơ today. Through Magrathea, its ecosystem-building division, TIC operates Project Cần Thơ 2030 — orchestrating universities, government, accelerators and industry into one coordinated, investable ecosystem.

The institutional anchor is CICT — the College of ICT at Cần Thơ University, where the programme holds a formal MOU. That footing is what lets a challenge brief become a 90-day sprint, and a sprint become a real pilot.

40+TIC engineers already operating in Cần Thơ — the footing under every challenge team.

The mandate

The direction is set by national policy. The corridor is under-served.

Politburo Resolution 59-NQ/TW and the 2050 Master Plan commit Cần Thơ to a decade of transformation. The Delta is Vietnam’s most concentrated climate-adaptation opportunity — and remains under-served by current Australian programming. Five Forum sectors map the work:
