The event featured groundbreaking solutions such as sand-based heat batteries, fruit-peel packaging, insect-based waste recycling, and low-carbon rice farming. British Ambassador to Vietnam Iain Frew highlighted the accelerator's role in supporting 34 innovative businesses that accelerate Vietnam's private sector-led green growth ambition. PwC Vietnam's director, Capital Projects & Infrastructure, Abhinav Goyal, noted that the eleven participating businesses represent a promising pipeline of climate investment opportunities. Viet Smart Mobility's CEO, Ted Kim, discussed the company's plans to expand its GCOO shared electric bicycle service in Vietnamese cities, aiming to build connections with tourist electric boats and electric buses. Phuc Sang Minh Gas, another participant, aims to help industrial customers transition to lower-carbon fuels through integrated gas infrastructure and technical expertise.",
