On the morning of June 17, the Vietnam Women's Union held a meeting to provide comments on the draft Project "Supporting women to start businesses in the period 2026-2035", with the participation of the Union's leaders, members of the Project drafting team and nearly 70 delegates from ministries, branches, startup experts, representatives of the Women's Union and businesses.

In her opening speech, Vice President of the Vietnam Women's Union, Ms. Tran Lan Phuong, said: The Government's issuance of Resolution No. 26/NQ-CP dated February 27, 2023, assigning the Vietnam Women's Union to preside over the development of this Project is an affirmation of the Union's central, connecting and leading role in the ecosystem supporting women's start-ups. This is also a development step inherited from the 2017-2025 period, continuing to open up new opportunities for women in the context of digital transformation, green transformation and global economic integration.

At the meeting, many contributions were made, especially focusing on innovating support content, integrating digital skills training, branding, business thinking, and applying e-commerce platforms and modern technology in each startup model. In particular, the contest "Women's creative startups and green transformation 2024" is considered a typical example, which has motivated many women to step out of their comfort zone, confidently starting businesses with products and models associated with community values and cultural identity.

As a member of the Jury and a direct companion of the contestants in the competition, Designer Do Trinh Hoai Nam has made many practical contributions. He made specific proposals based on his practical experience in consulting and training for the creative female startup community. In particular, he especially emphasized the importance of building a product value chain closely linked to national culture, while effectively combining technology, market aesthetics and long-term development strategies to create a sustainable foundation for startup projects.

Not only focusing on the business aspect, designer Do Trinh Hoai Nam also accompanies many training programs on designing and tailoring Ao Dai – a profession that helps many women have a stable livelihood in the localities. Integrating cultural elements and national identity into products not only creates added value but also helps women build their personal brands and improve their competitiveness in the modern business environment.
