Business start-up 2015 launched

The Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) on January 10 held an awards ceremony for winners of the Business Start-up Competition 2014 and launched the Business Start-up Programme 2015.

The prorgamme is aimed at realizing business projects through the development of a business start-up network and accelerating training, consultancy and investment link to build a community of strong and professional business people.

VCCI Chairman Vu Tien Loc said Vietnamese businesses remain in a small number with not a high quality. So, it is essential for the Government to devise support policies for the setting up of more businesses and improvement of their quality.
 

 

The Business Start-up Programmes together with other VCCI’s projects on start-up training, business development and competitiveness improvement have proved very helpful for young businesses in Vietnam.

In the framework of the Business Start-up Programme 2015, feasible projects will be assisted by VCCI in their implementation and long-term and sustainable development process, Loc underscored.

This will be an useful playground for young people nationwide to start-up business and contribute to building a creative business community in the future, Loc added.

Meanwhile, Dam Quang Thang, General Director of Vietnam Agricare Ltd, member of the competition’s consultancy board held that many projects are applicable.

The first prize of the 2014 competition went to the A-seedling project of students from the Vietnam Institute of Agriculture. The San Tuyen tea production and distribution project and the Cochineal breeding project won second prizes.
