The event co-organized by the Business Startup Support Centre (BSSC), the HCM City’s Young Business Association (YBA) and the Vietnam Youth Union in HCM City aims to create a venue for young business leaders to discuss integration-related issues such as the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and share ideas on their development orientations in the new era. Deputy president of YBA Nguyen Tan Quynh called on young Vietnamese should cognizant of the integration wave at home and abroad and take the initiative in accessing information, thus making proactive preparation for and actively engaging in the country’s integration process. Le Thi Tuong Vy, a representative from the BSSC, encouraged young leaders to send in their projects and creative ideas to the centre for a chance to receive support to realize their dream. Currently, the centre is helping young startups by devising solutions for finance, office location, training programmes and trade promotion.
