A wide range of activities were held within the two-day event, including a workshop on startup support in secondary schools, a forum connecting startup networks at colleges and universities, and an exhibition of student startup projects.
According to leaders of Hue University, which hosted this year’s festival, in response to the startup movement, the member colleges of Hue University have organised many programmes to support students in their startup process and incubate feasible business ideas.
At the fifth festival, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Ngo Thi Minh said the organisers selected 80 projects by students and connected them with enterprises so that the projects can be converted into production.
The startup projects are put into five categories, namely manufacturing; agriculture; education, tourism, service and finance; healthcare; and business with social impact.
At the closing ceremony, the organisers presented five first prizes, ten second prizes and 15 third prizes each for the group of college students and the group of secondary students.
On the occasion, Deputy Minister Ngo Thi Minh launched the sixth student startup contest to provide students with the opportunity to present startup ideas that create values for themselves and benefit the community.
