Vietnamese AI startup wins top prize at GITEX Asia 2025

ADT Global’s winning product, Nomi, is an AI-powered personal finance assistant that beat more than 350 competitors from over 60 countries to secure the award, according to Vietnam’s National Innovation Center (NIC).

Developed by Vietnamese engineers over 15 months, Nomi uses large language models such as GPT-4o and Gemini to help users track spending, analyze financial behavior, and generate personalized recommendations.

The product will now represent Asia in the Supernova 100 startup competition at GITEX Europe 2025, scheduled for May 21–23 in Germany, where it will compete against top startups from across Europe.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Hanoi, ADT Global specializes in technologies including artificial intelligence, extended reality (XR), the Internet of Things (IoT), digital twins, and 3D and mobile applications.

Company representatives said upcoming versions of Nomi will feature enhanced financial forecasting, report analysis, and banking integration, both domestically and internationally.

NIC described the win as a milestone in showcasing Vietnamese innovation on the global stage, and a testament to the country’s growing startup ecosystem.

GITEX Asia 2025 hosted more than 700 companies, including over 400 startups and 250 investors from more than 60 countries.

The event, a regional offshoot of the long-running GITEX Global in Dubai, aims to connect digital innovators with global investors, governments, and enterprises.

GITEX Asia 2026 is scheduled to take place in Vietnam in October next year.
