    The UK is renowned for its digital technology innovation and Harvey Nash, in
partnership with the UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), intends to facilitate the establishment
of new networks in ASEAN (nations in Southeast Asia) through the launch of the Tech Hub
virtual network.

    David Cameron's office made the following announcement during the UK premier's recent
visit to Viet Nam this week: "Both Prime Ministers welcomed the announcement by Harvey
Nash, the largest foreign investor in the Vietnamese technology sector, that it would
launch a UK-Viet Nam Tech Hub this year to facilitate dialogue and potential collaboration
between Vietnamese and British companies, with strong political support from the UK
government.

    Both Prime Ministers further welcomed the leadership shown by the Viet Nam Chamber of
Commerce and Industry and the Viet Nam Business Forum in taking forward the Business
Integrity agenda and supported future business-led action." 

    This new digital platform will serve as a unique environment for UK tech enterprises
to meet, share best practice and collaborate with partners from the ASEAN's dynamic
technology sector, helping to unlock millions of pounds of value through the development
of new technologies.  Harvey Nash plans to create and launch the pilot platform in Viet
Nam in the coming months, with the ambition to extend the initiative to engage other ASEAN
countries.

    Paul Smith, Chairman of NashTech, a division of the Harvey Nash Group says, "As one of
the largest technology companies in Viet Nam, Harvey Nash believes it is important to lead
the way and build on the technology industry's entrepreneurial drive. By developing a new
platform that supports and encourages links between the UK and ASEAN, we believe the
technology communities will find many new ways to interact, trade, and innovate."
