Lead the Change 2018: Golden Opportunity for Youth with Passion

Posted by Ngoc Doan on

“Lead The Change” is an annual competition for young people who have a passion for start-up. This year, the competition was co-organised by UEH Connected community, Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics, the U.S. Consulate Ho Chi Minh City, Accelerator Startup Campus, Co-working Space Campus K, and Saigon Innovation Hub.

“The main goal of Lead The Change is to find and cultivate young talents who have many creative start-up ideas but don't have enough necessary skills or resources. Through a series of training programs by entrepreneurs and experienced mentors from the Start-up Training Community, the candidates are given the opportunity to broaden up their minds. From then, they will become leaders of the change and will contribute to the Vietnamese economy in the future.” - Mr Huynh Cong Thang - CEO of ViCGO, Founder of UEH Connected, and Chairman of the Organising Committee - shared his thoughts on the final day of the competition.

With the concept of “Change”, entrepreneurs and guest speakers on the final days of the competition shared many tips and business best practices to the youth. “Learning to deal with the change is very important as you are about to enter a world that is unpredictable.” - Ms Mary Tarnowka, Consul General of the U.S. Consulate Ho Chi Minh City, commented.
