"Common roof" of Bac Ninh businessmen

BAC NINH - In the process of socio-economic development, the business community has increasingly affirmed its important position and role and has made great contributions to building a rich and beautiful homeland. Leading the business community in Bac Ninh are associations - organizations that act as a "bridge" between the government and businesses, becoming a "common home" for members to share, cooperate and develop sustainably.

Bridge connecting government with businesses

With the role of gathering, guiding and developing, the Provincial Association of Small and Medium Enterprises always strives to perform well the function of representing and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of nearly 1,000 members; participating and contributing opinions to a series of draft laws, resolutions, and socio- economic development plans of the Central and the province, from the amended Enterprise Law, the Trade Union Law to Resolutions on private economic development, tax policies and investment incentives. The frank recommendations and proposals, originating from the production and business practices of members, are compiled by the Association and promptly conveyed to the Provincial People's Committee and relevant departments and branches to remove difficulties.

By joining the Association, small and medium enterprises have more support to expand production and create more jobs for workers.

“In September, the Association organized 3 conferences in Kinh Bac, Tu Son and Thuan Thanh wards to grasp the existing problems and listen to the suggestions of members. From there, it will synthesize and send them to the authorities and functional agencies for consideration and resolution, creating favorable conditions for businesses to expand production and business activities, create jobs and contribute to the local budget. Promote the role of a bridge between the government and the business community in the coming time” - Mr. Le Dac Thuat, Permanent Vice President of the Provincial Association of Small and Medium Enterprises emphasized.

With many similarities, the activities of the Provincial Business Association in recent times have also clearly demonstrated its role in accompanying businesses. In the context of many fluctuations in the global economy and the domestic market's difficulties, the Standing Committee of the Association has deployed 4 documents, reflecting 13 difficulties and problems of businesses to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee. Up to now, 7 contents (related to investment and construction licensing; tax policies, premises rental; vocational training connections, product consumption, etc.) have been promptly resolved and removed.

Mr. Nguyen Cuong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial Business Association, said: “We always consider the Association as a common home, a place to listen to and convey recommendations and proposals from businesses to the government. Any difficulties of members are the responsibility of the Association in advising and making recommendations for timely handling by the authorities.”

Bringing together the business community

The common point that is easily seen from the activities of the two Associations is the role of gathering and connecting the business community. Under the common roof, entrepreneurs are not only updated with information and new policies but also share management experiences, business cooperation, and trade promotion. Meetings, dialogues, investment promotion events, product exhibitions, etc. have created opportunities for members to learn, expand markets, and build brands. In particular, the Associations regularly maintain close relationships with the Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry , the Vietnam Association of Small and Medium Enterprises, and other provincial associations.

To improve the competitiveness of its members, the Provincial Association of Small and Medium Enterprises coordinates to organize specialized training courses for corporate governance directors, promote digital transformation, expand trade promotion; is a companion in startup competitions, investment promotion conferences, seminars to disseminate legal education, and create a useful knowledge playground for the business community.

At the Provincial Business Association, the specialized committees (membership - training and digital transformation; legal consultancy and assistance; trade and investment promotion) are also actively operating. The highlight is the organization of 2 courses with the topics "5 corporate tax risks" and "Application of AI in business on digital platforms" attracting hundreds of members to attend; free legal advice for many businesses; organizing connections, promoting the consumption of lychees and typical products of the province...

Mr. Tran Van An, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nam Vuong Investment and Development Joint Stock Company (Tu Son Ward) shared: “By joining the Association, we are supported in accessing capital, land, especially opportunities to exchange and connect with partners. This is truly an environment that helps small and medium enterprises gain more confidence and motivation to develop”.

Actively build corporate culture

One of the bright spots in the activities of the business community, entrepreneurs in general and associations in particular is always promoting social responsibility. On the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2025 and holidays, the business community donated billions of dong, organized gift giving to the poor, policy families... contributing to spreading the spirit of mutual love. Typically in Bac Giang ward, the Provincial Business Charity Fund has become a trusted address for members to join hands to support the poor, students overcoming difficulties, victims of Agent Orange, people in natural disaster areas...

Not only actively contributing to the state budget and participating in social security activities, the business community also strives to build a corporate culture, creating the image of a brave, creative and humane businessperson. Emulation movements and cultural and sports activities are organized regularly, creating a healthy environment to help members bond and unite.

Mr. Ngo Van Son, General Director of Lam Son Construction and Trading Company Limited (Bac Giang Ward) affirmed: "The Association is the glue that binds, is the place for businessmen to have more partners on the path of development. Each member can find sympathy and support from their companions."

In the context of economic difficulties and challenges, the contributions of the Business Association to the socio-economic development of the province are extremely important. Entering the integration period, the Association has determined its direction of operation in the spirit of "Solidarity - Cooperation - Integration - Development". Thereby, continuing to affirm its position as a reliable support for businesses and members to develop together, contributing to the common prosperity of the province and the country.
