Innovation Startup Ecosystem Services in Vietnam: Measurement Approaches, Classification Methods, and Performance-Based Resource Allocation
Abstract: This paper examines innovation startup ecosystem services in Vietnam through an outcome-based approach, in the context of transitioning toward a growth model driven by science, technology, and innovation. It clarifies the role of ecosystem services as an intermediary component that transforms resources into tangible outcomes and impacts for startups. The study proposes a measurement framework based on the results chain (input- process- output- outcome ? impact), with a particular emphasis on indicators that reflect substantive performance, such as firm growth, fundraising capacity, and commercialization outcomes. Building on this foundation, the paper develops a classification approach for service providers based on composite scoring and their actual contributions to the ecosystem. In addition, it proposes a performance-based resource allocation mechanism, incorporating policy instruments such as performance-based funding, service commissioning, and innovation vouchers. The findings contribute to both the theoretical and practical understanding of enhancing the effectiveness of innovation startup ecosystem services in Vietnam, moving toward a governance model that is performance-driven, transparent, and competitive.
