Innovation gives small businesses confidence

Survey shows small businesses in Vietnam are confident in growth thanks to drastic innovation and creativity.

Survey information 86% of businesses predict to accelerate thanks to the strong growth rate of the economy .

Up to 77% of small businesses in Vietnam recorded growth in 2023, lower than only 2 of the 11 markets participating in the survey "Small businesses in Asia - Pacific ".

Mr. Nam Nguyen FCPA - Chairman of the Southern Vietnam Strategic Advisory Board of CPA Australia - said that more than 90% of small businesses in Vietnam are confident in the domestic economy and expect growth. He further explained that this is partly thanks to the focus on innovation that has contributed to the long-term development and improved competitiveness of these businesses.

Many small businesses have similar characteristics to high-growth businesses such as the ability to access and apply high technology, focus on improving management capacity and business strategy, and innovation.

Some small businesses have the potential to become large global corporations in the next few years, and access to effective capital will help drive business growth.

According to Mr. Nam, another factor contributing to this success comes from the fact that the average age of business owners or general directors of small businesses in our country is the youngest in the region, with 65% of leaders under 40 years old compared to the regional average of 43%.

The data also shows that this group of young leaders often run growing businesses that focus on investing in technology and innovation.

Additionally, the survey found that the majority of small businesses have stepped up their security efforts in the past six months, suggesting that increased cybersecurity is more important than ever.

In fact, in 2023, 64% of small businesses in Vietnam "wasted time and money" to resolve cyber incidents, and 70% of businesses predicted that there would be more cyber attacks this year.

"Small businesses should proactively implement security measures to prevent damage from cyber security threats because they can seriously affect profits, customer trust and employee morale," Mr. Nam Nguyen FCPA recommended.
