HKG Energy completed the AIS4EE Accelerator Program in Vietnam, strengthening its growth strategy and partnerships while advancing silicon anode solutions for energy efficiency.
SOMERVILLE, Mass. – May 30, 2025 – HKG Energy has recently wrapped up its participation in the AIS4EE Accelerator Program, an initiative under the Accelerating Innovative Start-ups for Energy Efficiency (AIS4EE) project in Vietnam. Hosted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) and supported by the European Union and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), the program is designed to support early-stage startups advancing energy efficiency in industrial, building, and transportation sectors.
Over the course of the program, HKG Energy engaged in nine weeks of training, mentorship, and investor connections, including a fundraising roadshow in Singapore. Earlier this year, the company also joined the program’s pitch finale in Ho Chi Minh City, a growing hub for innovation and entrepreneurship in Vietnam.
