Honorary President of the Vietnam National Entrepreneurship Association Vu Tien Loc stressed that the current number of businesses in Vietnam is about 800,000 businesses/100 million people, which is an opportunity for foreign investors and businesses to establish and grow in Vietnam. Notably, the Vietnamese government has issued many policies to support entrepreneurs and encourage people to start businesses.

The Vietnam National Entrepreneurship Association is currently implementing six fundamental pillars to create a national start-up ecosystem, including incubation, training, consulting, commerce, and dialogue. It wants to learn more experiences of countries around the world, including Thailand about activities to promote the entrepreneurial spirit, such as the annual start-up summit; teaching and sharing experiences with local authorities, with the participation of international experts. Vietnamese start-ups also need to know more on how to build local start-up ecosystems and how to create sustainable businesses.

President of the Vietnam Young Business Association Tran Dang Nam added that among its members are in many key industries such as trade and services, construction, and manufacturing, yet there is only 10% of which are in the technology sector. This sector holds great potential for collaboration with Thai businesses because of the fast-paced development, young and active human resources.

Multifaced cooperation in progress

President of Thailand-Vietnam Friendship Association Sanan Angubolkul agreed with the hosts that connecting and exchanging between Thai and Vietnamese people is one of the fundamental foundations for building diplomatic relations between the two countries.

For example, the Thailand-Vietnam Friendship Association provides scholarships for Vietnamese students to study in Thailand, organizes student exchange activities, and organizes the Thailand-Vietnam Business Forum. To deepen the mutual understanding through people-to-people exchange is to promote Vietnam-Thailand cooperation in many other fields, said Sanan Angubolkul.
