82% of tech staff want to get startup goingEighty-two per cent of people taking part in the “Vietnamese Tech Staff in the Face of New Technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain” survey conducted by the Navigos Group indicated an intention to get their own startup off the ground and more than half would consider relocation overseas in an opportunity presented itself. Of the 82 per cent, 41 per cent have already tried to get a startup going while 58 per cent have never done so. “We should build more playgrounds for the tech community to exchange, learn, and practice new technologies,” he said. “To lessen the danger of a tech ‘brain drain’, we should also focus on talent retention policies, creating sound conditions for product innovation and the chance to work with new technologies.”In addition, tech staff tend to become specialists more than supervisors. The survey was conducted in July on 1,100 respondents now working in IT / high tech and technology in general.
