đổi mới sáng tạo

As always, the beginning of a new year is a time for our team to reflect on the results of the previous year and to prepare for the plans ahead. Here are some key metrics that we would like to share:

• 32: Number of events, including both in-person and online
• 44: Training sessions
• 126: Consulting and coaching sessions
• 3: New international markets: Japan, Canada
• 42: Programs designed and operated by KisStartup and KisImpact
• 9: Mentor-mentee pairs established in the SME 1on1 mentoring program
• 125: Networking community of businesses, startups, and investors, both domestic and international

For us, numbers are not just a reflection of success and failure. They are also a source of lessons and new ideas. We use them to improve our weaknesses and to be bolder in our changes.

To our partners, colleagues, and customers, we hope that these numbers provide a glimpse into our work and accomplishments. They are not the whole story, but they are a starting point for building trust and collaboration in the years to come.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the network of partners and collaborators in the KisStartup ecosystem for their tremendous efforts and support. We could not quantify their contributions, since they are invaluable.

KisStartup has conducted training courses for managers, lecturers and communication officers in Tra Vinh.

In the framework of cooperation between KisStartup and Small and Medium Enterprise Development Project of Tra Vinh Province (SME Tra Vinh), KisStartup has conducted training on innovation and entrepreneurship for managers, media officers, lecturers from departments, agencies, and universities of Tra Vinh province.

The program aims to incorporate important concepts and thinking of innovative start-ups into the organization's current operations. Mr. Phan Dinh Tuan Anh and Ms. Nguyen Dang Tuan Minh exchanged directly with students about:

* Innovative ways of communicating about start-up innovation through understanding start-up innovation

* Designing and mentoring mentoring, incubating and supporting investment programs for startup projects

After the course, KisStartup and experts will continue to accompany the activities and support managers and lecturers to develop activities in the coming time as well as connect activities of Tra Vinh with network of Vietnamese and international startup ecosystems.

A network of innovation ecosystem builders, universities, institutions and businesses joining hands for innovation- with- purpose ideas and projects to flourish and positively impact the community

HOW DID OUR STORY BEGIN?

Our story begins when we work with university talents including students and lecturers in training and coaching for them about innovation and entrepreneurship, we realize that:

(1) Many of the projects and ideas can be turned into impact projects to benefit the community and/or help achieve 17 sustainable development goals. However, not many of them are supported in terms of capacity building, mentoring and coaching to develop their projects. 

(2)None in the market is there to help them to connect with business world. At the same time, corporates and SMEs are struggling to find talented people for intra-innovation and market expansion

Therefore, IPN is to achieve 3 main goals:

• Connecting talented and passionate individuals from universities and institutions with business world
• Enabling innovative ideas to take shape via capacity building programs including design thinking & Lean Startup(training, coaching, mentoring)
• Helping corporates and SMEs to get closer to quality human resources and potential investment in innovation from early stages
