HCM City (VNA) – The Vietnam Young Leaders Forum 2015 opened in Ho Chi Minh City on December 18, attracting the participation of over 600 delegates.

The event was co-organized by the Business Startup Support Centre (BSSC), the HCM City’s Young Business Association (YBA) and the Vietnam Youth Union in HCM City.

The organizers aimed at creating a venue for young business leaders to discuss integration-related issues such as the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and shared ideas on their development orientations in the new era.

Deputy president of YBA Nguyen Tan Quynh stressed young Vietnamese should be aware of the integration wave both inside and outside the country and take the initiative in accessing information, thus making proactive preparation for and actively participating in the country’s integration process.

Le Thi Tuong Vy, a representative from the BSSC, encouraged young leaders to send in their projects and creative ideas to the centre for a chance to receive support to realize their dream.

Currently, the centre is assisting young startups through offering solutions for finance, office location, training programmes and trade promotion.-VNA
