“I’ve had some really interesting discussions with students at the Foreign Trade University, sharing some great ideas from the Vintegration competition and learning a lot from their experiences. I truly believe this will give a big boost to entrepreneurship, showing that anyone, at any age, can succeed with enough passion and determination,” remarked Mr. Ngoc Son, a lecturer at the Foreign Trade University.
