Con Cung will also use the fund to add to its product portfolio and develop an all-in-one ‘super app’ to offer personalised maternity products and services.
Con Cung co-founder and chairman Minh Nguyen said: “While traditional offline trade still occupies an important part of commerce in Vietnam, digitalisation is fast-changing consumer preferences and many Vietnamese mothers are shifting part of their spending towards e-commerce.
“We aim to be the one-stop destination for mothers to fulfil their maternity and baby-care needs in a convenient and safe environment.
“To do so, we recognise the need to expand our retail channels, both online and offline, and create a holistic ecosystem to support mothers and families.
