AiGENDA will participate in '2025 Startup Wheel', Vietnam's largest startup competition, as a benefit for simultaneously winning the Gold Award and Special Award at the 'ICIA & Startup Exchange' held in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam last April.

Startup Wheel, established in 2013, is Vietnam's largest startup competition with over 2,000 companies from Vietnam and worldwide applying annually. Over 12 years, there have been more than 17,000 cumulative applications, with 40% of participating startups securing their next investment round and 60% of international startups successfully finding local partnerships.

AiGENDA previously won awards at ICIA & Startup Exchange for the innovation and growth potential of its AI·LLM-based video clip search engine 'WithG', and plans to explore opportunities for Vietnamese market entry and Southeast Asian startup ecosystem connections through this Startup Wheel, focusing on 'WithG' and medical AI solution 'WithH'.

The 6-month competition includes document screening (April), preliminary rounds (May-June), accelerating phase (July), and culminates in the final demo day at the InnoEx exhibition in Ho Chi Minh City in August. Top 50 companies will receive free booth space at the 'InnoEx Exhibition', Vietnam's largest startup fair held on August 21-22, with a total prize pool of one million dollars for outstanding startups.

CEO Ahn Hyo-in stated, "Based on our award-winning experience at the previous ICIA & Startup Exchange, we will showcase our core AI technology capabilities at Startup Wheel as well," adding, "We will do our best to achieve successful establishment in the Vietnamese market by further refining the localization strategies for 'WithG' and 'WithH'."

This participation is part of AiGENDA's plan for sequential participation in major global events including InnoEX 2025, TechFest 2025, and CES 2026, and is expected to play an important role in the Southeast Asian market entry strategy using Vietnam as a base.
