The forum identified challenges that Asian-Pacific startups are facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, discussed solutions to support them, and looked at current trends in startup fields regarding global challenges.
"2021 has been another challenging year for countries all over the world," said VCCI’s Vice President Hoang Quang Phong, "The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption and deadlocks for business operations, and young businesses are struggling to survive. Via practical and effective efforts, VCCI wants to help those businesses overcome their troubles. The national startup program hosted by Vietnam Business Forum Magazine is receiving great participation from international organizations and startup communities nationwide.”
The forum was organized in line with the Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) of the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN). VCCI has been organizing the GEW in Vietnam since 2013.
