On the afternoon of March 26 in Ho Chi Minh City, the seminar “Pioneers – Opportunities within challenges” made a profound impression on the business community as part of the launch ceremony for the Top 100 International Business Style 2025. With the participation of leading speakers, the event not only shared strategic perspectives but also inspired a spirit of innovation, overcoming challenges, and sustainable development.
Gathering of pioneering entrepreneurship spirits
With the theme “Pioneers – Opportunities within challenges”, the seminar brought together prominent figures in the business world, including Tran Thanh Tan – Vice Chairman of Dragon Capital, Phuong Anh Phat – Chairman of JVA, Tran Van Muoi – Chairman of Five Star Group, Duong Quoc Nam – Founder of Hoang Nam Group, and Tran Thi Lam – Chairwoman of Hoa Lam Group. Under the guidance of Dr. Nguyen Thu Huong – Head of the Organizing Committee for the Top 100 International Business Style, CEO of Nam Huong Media Group, the speakers created an open, authentic, and highly valuable discussion space.
The seminar was not just a platform for sharing experiences in overcoming challenges but also a space to spread the spirit of innovation and resilience in facing economic fluctuations. In the era of globalization, pioneering entrepreneurs are defined not only by their creative mindset but also by their ability to adapt quickly and build long-term value.
Valuable message about sustainable development and generational inheritance
A profound highlight of the seminar was the speakers' call for entrepreneurs to recognize their role and social responsibility amid an ever-changing economic landscape. The pursuit of opportunities should not be confined to short-term gains or immediate revenue growth but must be aligned with a long-term strategic vision, aiming to create sustainable value for the community, employees, partners, and the broader business environment. A "pioneer" is not merely someone who seizes opportunities but also one who dares to pave the way, building a healthy, ethical business ecosystem that harmonizes with social values
The speakers also emphasized the crucial role of entrepreneurs in passing down knowledge, mindset, skills, and resilience to the next generation. In the next 5-10 years, Vietnam’s economy will witness the rise of young leaders – those who not only have a strong desire for innovation but also need guidance, support, and mentorship from previous generations. Investing in the next generation, not only in terms of knowledge but also in fostering a pioneering spirit and corporate culture, serves as the foundation for ensuring continuous, stable, and breakthrough growth for the nation's economic future.
Arousing inspiration and aspiration to rise in the entrepreneur community
This event was not just a platform for experience sharing or strategic discussions but also a "spark of inspiration" that ignited the spirit of innovation and resilience within the Vietnamese business community. Especially for young entrepreneurs taking their first steps in the startup journey, the real-life insights and lessons – drawn from both the successes and failures of the speakers – served as a valuable source of motivation, empowering them to move forward with confidence and breakthrough potential.
The seminar “Pioneers – Opportunities within challenges” not only introduced new perspectives on management thinking and adaptability but also reinforced the importance of proactive innovation and creativity. In a constantly evolving world, only those who dare to take risks, embrace continuous learning, and maintain resilience can rise above challenges and establish their unique position. As a result, the event served as a true motivational boost, energizing entrepreneurs on their journey to achieving greater milestones in their careers and making meaningful contributions to Vietnam’s economy.
