About Open Source in Vietnam

In 2003, Vietnam decided to switch its IT infrastructure to Free and Open Source Software. Demand for experts in the field of FOSS development and implementation is high and still increasing. FOSS Bridge "EU-Vietnam" seeks to support capacity-building in this sector with a special focus on small and medium sized ICT companies in Vietnam.
Some Vietnamese companies are already using FOSS. FOSS Bridge "EU-Vietnam" now brings European and Vietnamese FOSS companies together to help Vietnamese enterprises not only to use FOSS products, but also to adapt free software to local needs and encourage them to contribute to the development of international Free and Open Source Software.
With the assistance of FOSS Bridge "EU-Vietnam", European companies are matched with Vietnamese FOSS companies, meet local developers and experts and become trainers for Vietnamese counterparts. Thus, FOSS Bridge "EU-Vietnam" supports companies from Vietnam and Europe to set up joint projects.
