To do this, the pioneering role of universities in carrying out the mission of innovation and entrepreneurship to provide society with factors equipped with the necessary thinking and skills, along with applied research results to solve specific problems for the market, bringing value to society must be emphasized more than ever.
In her speech, Ms. Le An Na also pointed out the direction for entrepreneurship education in Vietnam. She said that it is necessary to innovate training programs at universities. The curriculum needs to be redesigned to integrate practical activities, such as real projects and internships, to provide students with practical experience and knowledge applicable in the startup environment. Educational institutions need to proactively connect with businesses, creating conditions for students to gain practical experience through extracurricular activities.
Building a complete startup ecosystem needs to be emphasized. Government agencies and financial institutions must focus on investing in more necessary startup infrastructure, including incubation centers and venture capital funds. In addition, venture capital funds play an important role in providing capital to startups, helping them have financial resources to develop and expand their operations.
