On the afternoon of July 24, the leadership team from the VP Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation (VPCEI) held a strategic working session in Hanoi with representatives of the National Startup Support Center (NSSC) and the Department of Science and Technology—marking an important milestone in VPCEI’s mission to foster a globally competitive and resilient entrepreneurial ecosystem in Vietnam.
This meeting wasn’t just about introductions—it was about actionable collaboration. Both sides discussed in depth the rollout of VPCEI’s flagship program: the Global Mini-MBA in Entrepreneurship & Innovation, designed to equip startup founders and SME leaders with world-class tools in business model innovation, digital transformation, capital access, and executive leadership. The aim: to make global-standard learning accessible and practical for Vietnam’s emerging private sector leaders.
More importantly, the conversation extended beyond training. VPCEI shared its upcoming plans to establish VPCEI Ventures—a new platform to provide early-stage investment and strategic capital to Vietnamese startups emerging from the Mini-MBA and broader ecosystem. The combination of education + investment is set to form a powerful, self-reinforcing model to accelerate innovation and scale impact sustainably.
With strong alignment on national goals—particularly Resolution No. 68/NQ-CP, which emphasizes private sector development as a national priority—the two parties agreed on next steps, including joint planning workshops, regional outreach, and pilot program integration.
This is more than a partnership—it’s a shared belief: that Vietnam’s next decade will be led by bold founders, equipped not just with ambition, but with the mindset, tools, and resources to lead at scale. And VPCEI, together with national partners like NSSC, is committed to building that foundation.
