Initiative supporting women’s startups launched in HCM City

An initiative designed to support and connect women’s startup businesses in Viet Nam and Mekong countries was launched in HCM City on Wednesday.

 

The initiative is expected to improve awareness of challenges facing women-owned startup companies and present specific measures and action plans to help them do business more effectively.

Huynh Kim Tuoc, executive director of the Saigon Innovation Hub, said the initiative would connect members through meetings, conferences and incubation programmes, while partnering with similar networks and organisations to support women in doing business.

With funding provided by the Australian government and the Asia Development Bank (ADB), a number of female owners of startup companies and investors will be sent to Switzerland for training in 2017.
