Moreover, more than 500 young innovators have benefited from our business plan training and expert guidance.
As part of our ongoing commitment to nurturing Vietnam’s entrepreneurial spirit, we have integrated this initiative into the GBA Business Awards as a brand-new category. This esteemed awards ceremony celebrates and acknowledges the remarkable contributions of businesses to Vietnam’s dynamic economy.
