Exemplary Entrepreneur and Thanh Giong Award is the main event of the celebration of Entrepreneurs’ Day this year. In the economic recession, the event is a new endeavour encouraging businesses and entrepreneurs to overcome challenges and develop new headways to get out of the crisis.
The event is more meaningful as this year also marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry(VCCI).

VCCI has sponsored several awards for entrepreneurs such as “Thanh Giong”, “Golden Rose”, “Corporate Social Responsibility” and others.

According to VCCI President Vu Tien Loc, VCCI has successfully involved businesses and entrepreneurs in national activities developing business environment, economy and State management. It has in fact become a national organisation representing and promoting Vietnamese business community in the process of developing market economy and international economic integration.
On the occasion of the day this year, in addition to honouring businesses and entrepreneurs, there are also seminars on pressing issues such as restructuring businesses in the new conditions.
As the economy and business community need a modern and unstainable structure, VCCI with its role of the national organisation of business community will assist businesses in this endeavour. VCCI must play its advisory role in the socialist oriented market economy, ensuring an equitable and accountable business environment, and be fully devoted and professional in business assistance and promotion activities, especially regarding SMEs, business linkage, association network and business community, representatives of enterprises said.-VNA
