BKTENG is the Grand Winner of TECH PLAN Demo Day in Vietnam 2022
On the 9th of July 2022, Leave a Nest Philippines held the TECH PLAN Demo Day in VIETNAM 2022 online via Microsoft Teams. Despite the distance and the pandemic, researchers, judges, and hosts continue to support and explore deep technologies that can help in solving issues around the world.
For this year, different technologies and researches were pitched during the event by 9 finalists and 4 lightning talk speakers with the goal of solving issues in Vietnam involving eco-tech, bio-tech and deep technologies in front of a panel of judges from Leave a Nest Philippines, Mitsui Chemicals Singapore R&D Centre Pte. Ltd., BIPROGY Inc., Rohto-Mentholatum Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Nepal, Real Tech Holdings Co., Ltd., BLOCK71 Vietnam, Hermes Management Group, KisStartup Innovation Consulting, Coaching, Mentoring, and Quest Ventures.
To guide our panel of judges in choosing this year’s Grand Winner, our judges were given four criteria: Novelty, Practicability, Impact to the World, and Passion. Considering local and global issues that have to be addressed, plastic waste pollution and the energy crisis stood out as huge problems in our society. Ultimately, our panel of judges sought for a modern solution to these long-standing societal problems and decided on BKTENG to be awarded as the Grand Winner for their innovativeness on using plastic waste to generate electrical energy.
We would like to express our gratitude to our judges for this year’s TECH PLAN Demo Day in Vietnam 2022 for their eagerness to share their feedback on the pitches by our participants that made our event a huge success. We also would like to thank our participants and presenters for taking the time to join this event and for joining until the end. Lastly, we are grateful to all Leave a Nest Group members who have supported us and made this event successful.
