Mr. Huynh Thanh Van, Chairman of the Southern Startup Advisory Council, shared: In 2024, the Council will select 3 provinces and cities, each province will select 10 typical businesses to connect with universities and colleges, creating a strong network of experts and investors to support student startups, promoting creativity and cooperation. The goal in 2024 is to have 3 student projects supported to incubate and develop into businesses.

Also at the ceremony, Dr. Nguyen Van Tan, Head of the Faculty of International Economic Management, Lac Hong University, member of the Vietnam Startup Advisory Board, said: I have the opportunity to support the startup program of the Dong Nai Women's Union, so the rate of me advising female startups is higher. Therefore, through the startup story, if we can promote female startups, the success will be higher.

Over 10 years of operation, the Southern Startup Advisory and Support Council has organized more than 100 business startup classes for students, 60 meetings with successful entrepreneurs, more than 100 innovation courses for students, 15 courses to improve innovation capacity for business owners and young people, served as a judge for 56 startup competitions, more than 20 training courses for source lecturers, attracting 31,263 students to participate...

In my own experience in supporting women; at the central, local or regional levels, I have always firmly affirmed my belief that with the same conditions, women start businesses more successfully than men. However, the role of mentors is also extremely important.

Ms. Hoang Thi Kim Anh, director of An Hoa Hung Agricultural Cooperative, who was once advised by Dr. Nguyen Van Tan and has succeeded with the An Hoa Cao an xoa project, said: "I myself realize that the strength of a startup is passion, but that is also a weakness because they often only focus on product quality. However, with the support of advisors, the project will have a more general view to achieve effective steps, save a lot of costs and minimize unnecessary mistakes."

The above information was shared at the 10th Anniversary Ceremony of the Southern Startup Advisory and Support Council organized by the Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) on the morning of February 24, in Ho Chi Minh City.
