For solution providers

Pitch a deployable solution to a validated problem.

Solution providers and sprint teams apply against real, pre-validated Cần Thơ challenge briefs. Match well, and you build in a 90-day sprint — and pitch from the Forum stage.

How matching works

You apply against a brief, not a blank page.

Every challenge on the table is already validated — a named owner, a measurable outcome, and an environment to deploy in. CICT and TIC match the strongest teams to the right challenge, then back the build with a team already on the ground.

3Sprint & Forum

Build in a 90-day sprint, then pitch the outcome from the Forum stage.

What we look for

Deployable, in-context, ready to run.

We match solutions that can be deployed in a 90-day window, suit Mekong conditions, and fit one of the Forum’s sectors:

RegTechClimateTechRenewablesAgriTechAquaTech

Example match

How a match comes together.

Illustrative — to show the shape, not a named deal.

The brief

RegTech — workforce compliance for an industrial / data-centre site in Cần Thơ.

The provider

An identity-verification / RegTech solution with prior deployments, ready to adapt to local context.

The sprint

A 90-day build with a CICT student + faculty team, supervised by TIC engineers on the ground.

The outcome

A deployable prototype shown on the Forum stage — with a pathway to a real pilot.

What providers get

More than a stage.

A validated brief

Apply against a real problem with a named owner — not a hypothetical.

A sprint team

A CICT student + faculty cohort and TIC technical supervision for the 90-day build.

A pilot pathway

Selected outcomes carry forward to a real pilot, capital, or repeat engagement.
