F&B Tech Companies in Vietnam

The F&B market in Vietnam has long since been operated very traditional and includes a lot of manual labor work. Then we have the wave of the 4.0 era making a huge impact on most business sectors, including the food business.

As a startup operating in such diverse and fast growing market, Kamereo would like to take our time to recap all the tech companies, that are currently active and making big changes in the F&B market in Vietnam, on a single chaos map.

Just 5 or 10 years ago, we wouldn’t see many of these names existing in the market. Some would not be familiar to you, but worry not, we will have a brief explanation for each section of the map below.
