Quy Nhon Young Entrepreneur Club was newly established in March, 2008. It has gradually become a useful playground for entrepreneurs in Binh Dinh.
* A bridge for businesses
As soon as the club was set up, its leaders proposed an action plan to further its development and attract entrepreneurs. Of more than 400 businesses in Binh Dinh, only 36 have participated in the club so far.
It’s difficult to attract entrepreneurs to join the club because most still think that it will take too much time and have no benefit to participate in such a club.
We are planning to promote suitable programs, focusing on its development, said head of Quy Nhon Young Entrepreneur Club, Nguyen Van Hoc.
Members would have chances to talk with the authorities and function bodies to express their suggestions, he added.
The club held an exchange with 2030 Business Club, Ho Chi Minh City, and Khanh Hoa Young Entrepreneur Club. Some training courses for owners of enterprises were also held. Most members are well aware that participating in the club has helped them find partners, join training courses for the management and trademark development.
Three businesses joining the club registered to compete for the South Central Region-Central Highlands Gold Star Award held by Vietnam’s Entrepreneur Association, aiming to honor typical trademarks in the region. Award-winning trademarks will be nominated for Vietnamese Gold Star Award 2008.
Such activities are expected to help members solve difficulties in their operation. At present, there are 56 businesses in Quy Nhon and Phu Tai industrial zone participating in the club. The branch of military bank in Quy Nhon and some branches of a Gia Lai-based timber company are going to join the club.
* Advertise for Tay Son – Binh Dinh Festival
In early July, 20 members participated in the trademark exhibition for young businesses in Diamond Bay, Nha Trang City. Within the framework of the exhibition, Binh Dinh’s enterprises promoted the advertising campaign for Tay Son-Binh Dinh Festival 2008 taking place from August 1 to 3.
“The participation was really successful. We had an opportunity to share experiences, find partners, both domestically and abroad. Young entrepreneurs had a chance to learn experiences, taking full advantage of Binh Dinh,” said director of Thai Hung Co, Ltd., Tran Thai Binh.
Currently, its members are preparing for the upcoming festival in which their 8 stalls will display trademarks, services of young businesses.
The exhibition in the festival is one of large-scaled events, attracting many well-known businesses. The exhibition will display many high quality products and further the trade promotion among businesses.
“The club is inviting clubs and businesses nationwide to join the festival and the exhibition. This is expected to be an opportunity for Binh Dinh’s cultural features and traditional products become well-known,” said Hoc.
