The world ahead is uncertain. Yet, 300+ young minds came to Hanoi to face that uncertainty together.

Across five days, ideas crossed borders, disciplines, and generations. Questions were challenged, perspectives widened, and conversations opened new possibilities.

But HPAIR was never just about the conversations.

It was made possible by delegates who came with curiosity, speakers who challenged us to think further, partners and sponsors who created the space for ideas to grow, and an organizing team who turned a shared vision into reality.

Together, we built more than a conference. We built a launchpad for the next generation to question, connect, and shape what comes next.

The future may be uncertain.
But we can choose how we meet it.

Let’s rise with resolve.

We are honored to spotlight Cocoon Vietnam - Diamond Sponsor of HPAIR ACONF 2026.

Cocoon is a 100% vegan beauty brand proudly made in Vietnam. Inspired by the cocoon, a nurturing space where transformation begins, the brand provides gentle yet effective care for skin and hair, helping everyone feel confident in their natural beauty.

Cocoon is also the first Vietnamese cosmetics brand to receive certifications from PETA, Leaping Bunny, The Vegan Society, and Halal, reflecting its commitment to vegan and cruelty-free beauty.

Deeply rooted in Vietnam, Cocoon brings local ingredients such as Đắk Lắk coffee, Hậu Giang lotus, and Vietnamese pomelo into modern beauty care, combining the richness of nature with scientific expertise to create products that are gentle, effective, and made for everyday use.

As ACONF 2026 gathers several hundred young leaders from more than 40 countries under the theme "Rising with Resolve," Cocoon's own journey - turning ingredients rooted in Vietnamese soil into a brand recognized on the global stage - mirrors the resolve and rootedness this year's delegates bring with them.

We are proud to welcome Cocoon to ACONF 2026, and we look forward to celebrating Vietnamese craftsmanship together.

Launched in March 2023 as VinGroup's electric-vehicle mobility arm, Green SM runs exclusively on VinFast EVs and has grown into a footprint spanning seven markets across Asia and Europe - Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, the Philippines, Kazakhstan, India and Denmark (as of July 31, 2026). Guided by a vision to accelerate the global transition toward green and sustainable transportation, Green SM has now expanded its footprint beyond Asia.

As ACONF 2026 brought together several hundred young leaders from more than 40 countries under the theme β€œRising with Resolve,” Green SM’s own resolve β€” electrifying mobility across a region and pushing toward a more sustainable future β€” reflected the same spirit of bold, purposeful action that defined this year’s conference.

We are proud to have welcomed Green SM as a Diamond Sponsor of ACONF 2026, and grateful to have shared this vision for a greener, more sustainable future.
