This was part of activities to honor the most outstanding university graduates. At the gathering, they had an opportunity to listen to successful young businessmen who shared their experience and secrets on how to start up a business.

Le Vinh Son, Vice President of Vietnam Young Entrepreneurs Association and CEO of Son Ha International Joint Stock Company, told young participants to fully tap their capacity and strong points. He said: “My advice that is you should not begin a business right after you graduate from a university otherwise you will face high risk of failure due to numerous difficulties. You should work for a company and in a field which is considered your strong point. When you already have necessary experience and  skills, you can devise more ambitious plans for yourselves.”
