Executive Director of WECREATE Vietnam Nguyen Thi Tuyet Minh said that entrepreneurs at the workshop received advice from more than 50 experts working in various fields.

Participants will present their business models and discuss measures to increase revenue after analyzing the strengths and weaknesses in their ideas.

Businesswomen need support in the form of knowledge and policies from the State to aid their start-up activities, Minh said.

Sean Griffin, co-founder of WECREATE centers worldwide, presented a discourse on startup thinking at the event, which underlined the importance of effort, determination and experience sharing in the startup process.

WECREATE Vietnam is an entrepreneurial community center for women interested in starting or expanding a business. It works to arrange training courses and business connection events.

Initiated in October last year, it helped train over 180 entrepreneurs and establish 18 startup groups. It provides tools for women to establish businesses. It plans to train about 1,400 businesswomen, set up 121 new enterprises and create more than 2,200 new jobs.
