AirX Carbon took the top prize at Vietnam's Creative Young Entrepreneur 2026 competition with its Netzero Pallet line, a range of bio-based pallets made from agricultural by-products. The company says the product is already sold in Vietnam, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the US, and is designed to cut reliance on wood and plastic in logistics. The competition, held in Hanoi on October 16, also recognized Real Bean Coffee for its Fine Robusta model, which works with more than 200 farming households across roughly 130 hectares of agroforestry land. IBAS won the Promising Team Award for producing microbial biomass on site at shrimp farms, reducing the need to ship finished products from factories. Other finalists included Blue Ocean Community, a remote work training and recruitment platform, and Ngu Thuyen Hueritage, a heritage tourism cruise operator on the Huong River in Hue. The article covers the business results but includes limited detail on carbon impact, so the environmental claims are best treated as company-provided.
