About Vietnam

A country that attracts many digital nomads for its cheap living, friendly locals and exotic Asian feel, Vietnam is a mish mash of cultures and tourist wonders. From its ancient Buddhist pagodas to its bustling cities swamped by tricycles, its beaches and majestic rivers, French colonial landmarks and bloody war icons (think Cu Chi tunnels) the country has everything to intrigue and tantalize a curious mind.

Officially known as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the country sits on the easternmost point of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is bordered by Laos, China, Cambodia and Malaysia with its coastline swamped by the South China Sea. Hanoi has been its capital since 1975 when the reunification of the North and South occurred. Vietnam today, remains 1 of 4 one-party socialist states of communism in the world.

With a population of 95,261,021, only 51.5% are connected to the Internet with 42% on Facebook. Coworking spaces are popping up all over Vietnam to cope with the influx of digital nomads hitting its shores. There have been several success stories coming out of incubation hubs, such as "OnOnPay", that provides a way to top up mobile phones online. This is only one instance where the sharing of resources as well as ideas by people from different ethnic backgrounds, can create a viable digital startup. Ho Chi Minh City is set to have the largest coworking space in Vietnam "Dreamplex", whereas other cities such as Hanoi, the focus is on the "feng shui" aspect of their spaces.

Coworking spaces are now taking over the traditional scene of digital nomads haunting the local Internet connected cafes in a wave of IT community-building efforts. It is envisaged that Vietnam's startup scene will develop more quickly than existing ecosystems, due to its international interest as a country.
