2012 Business Startup festival launched

The Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) launched the 2012 Business Startup Festival in Hanoi on January 7.

The program is to honour young people who have developed the best business projects and call for investment in these projects.

VCCI President Vu Tien Loc stressed that since its launch in 2003 the Business Startup Festival has helped promote creativity and arouse passion for business among young people in order to build a socially responsible and highly competitive business community.

“To meet the target of developing Vietnam into an industrial nation by 2020, we need more new entrepreneurs, and we have high hopes for university graduates who will have the chance to become successful entrepreneurs in the future,” said Loc.

He expressed his hope that the 2012 festival will attract more young people to show their passion, share ideas and stimulate their innovations to set up highly practical projects.

Over the past 9 years, the Business Startup Festival has attracted tens of thousands of students developing more than 1,700 projects.

At the ceremony, the organization board presented first, second, third and consolation prizes to 11 best projects in 2011. – VOV
