Sponsorship
Sponsorship is the heaviest hand in the room — and the clearest way to shape which Mekong Delta pilots actually get built. Five tiers, from naming a sector track to hosting a pilot.
Why sponsor
A sponsor doesn’t buy visibility — a sponsor shapes the programme: which challenges are prioritised, which sprints are funded, and which pilots reach the floor. You get a branded presence, curated B2B meetings, CICT student and faculty engagement, and early access to pilot pathways.
Five tiers
Reception co-branding, named on the partner strip, and a speaker slot in the opening session.
Name a sector track, Day-1 placement, and Day-3 VIP Mekong Tour eligibility.
Featured in the Day-2 pilot showcase, with Day-3 VIP Tour eligibility.
A booth on the showcase floor, paired to a live challenge and its sprint team.
Named support of the programme and the corridor behind it.
What you receive
Across every tier, sponsorship buys association and access — not just a logo placement.
Your name behind a named challenge, a sector track, or the Forum itself — placement scaled to tier.
Curated B2B meetings at the Forum, CICT student and faculty engagement, and a pre-event briefing that turns AU contacts into a Cần Thơ delegation.
Early access to pilot pathways and the forward incubator structure CICT co-creates after the Forum.
Sponsorship is coordinated by TIC. CICT may support introductions where appropriate but is not responsible for sponsor revenue.
The showcase floor
Curated by the Cần Thơ 2030 partner committee for track fit and contribution — not pay-to-play. Confirmed partners are named; everything else is shown as in discussion.
Confirmed on the floor
Plus banking, telecom, hospitality, academic and AgriTech partners in active discussion. Apply for a booth →
Host a pilot
Hosting is flexible — and doesn’t automatically mean installing equipment. Scope is co-designed between you, CICT and TIC before any commitment.
SMEs, hotels, farms, factories, public-sector departments, and households (residential ClimateTech).
A 90-day pilot deployment, a CICT student + faculty team, and TIC technical supervision.
First-mover access to validated solutions, co-branding with the programme, and a place in the Forum showcase.

Investor observer
Ecosystem access only — not a financial product, and not investment advice.
Pre-Forum briefings, curated startup introductions, pilot-ready candidates, and a Forum observer invitation.
No investment products, no returns guarantees, no investment advice. Registration is for ecosystem introduction only.
