Developing innovative start-up movements

Start-up movement has rapidly grown and spread across the country in recent years. With supportive policies from the State, the start-up movement in Vietnam in general and the southern area in particular has exploded and opened up many opportunities for union members, youth and students who want to start self-employment. This creates strong influence from the business community to the social community and achieves many positive results such as: developing business nursery infrastructure, connecting resources, developing innovative thinking, business ideas and start-up spirit among young people, building a start-up culture in the community.

LHU is one of the leading units in Dong Nai's start-up movement, grasping and fulfilling the guidelines of the State. After more than a year of operation, the LHU Start-up Club has made commendable achievements, wining Second prize at the 2017 National Start-up Competition, First prize and Third prize at the 2017 Southern Start-up Competition and many others. Not stopping at competitions, some projects have come into operation with revenue and brand name under the instruction of prestigious trainers and the Southern Start-up Support and Advisory Board. It can be seen that the University has always supported and cooperated with businesses to accompany students to bring a lot of values and great benefits to the society.

Dr. Nguyen Quoc Cuong - Head of Training Consultancy Department discussed and instructed the implementation of innovative start-up movements at LHU.

In addition to competitions, mentoring sessions and intensive start-up training classes, the University pays high attention to the establishment of the innovative start-up ecosystem in the coming period.
