Female PhD promotes women's participation in science and technology

Born into an intellectual family in Hanoi, Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao had a small dream of graduating from university and becoming a teacher like her mother. However, studying abroad helped her broaden her horizons and take the first steps on the journey to become a great entrepreneur, with the desire to contribute to building a strong Vietnam.

After nearly 20 years of studying and working abroad, the Hanoi-born woman has studied at three universities in economics , finance and banking, a PhD in economics and automation, and business experience when she earned her first million USD at the age of 21... But she always cherishes traditional values, contributing to the happy development of children and gender equality.

According to the billionaire, in theory, there is no limit to women participating in the digital transformation process. But in reality, the picture is not rosy. There is a significant difference in the proportion of women in the IT labor market in Vietnam compared to traditional industries. Jobs in the IT industry are booming, but the proportion of women in this industry is not proportional to men.

Having had the opportunity to be trained in many fields, from banking, economics, automation and even art, Dr. Phuong Thao understands that giving opportunities to women in STEM fields ( science , technology, engineering, mathematics) will promote changes in thinking and awareness in career orientation of young people, changing social prejudices about gender. In her businesses, women hold many important positions, including Chairman of the Board of Directors, General Director, Deputy General Director and leaders of many departments.

Women entrepreneurs' businesses play an important role in promoting women's participation in STEM, providing the best working environment and conditions for staff, especially women, who, in addition to work, need to try many times harder to balance personal life, family responsibilities, and overcome social prejudices.

Thanks to science and technology, the billionaire and many other female entrepreneurs have the opportunity to realize their dreams in the digital economy, in the sustainable development goals of each business and each individual. Dr. Phuong Thao believes that businesses play an important role, along with the education sector, in bringing STEM into all levels of education, stimulating gifted children in the fields of science, technology, and mathematics to shape their career thinking early. The participation of women in science will change when girls have access to and choose subjects and majors according to their abilities.

The businesswoman said she will continue to work tirelessly to increase the proportion of women studying computer science, have more female startup leaders, shorten the gap between men and women in income and promotion opportunities, strive to have female representatives and faces in the STEM field and always act for a brighter future for women, especially in the fields of information technology and digital transformation.

Dr. Phuong Thao cherishes the value of education so that everyone can strive for a fuller, happier life.

Few people know that the female billionaire has invested in and sponsored many schools, including schools that help Vietnamese children access advanced Japanese educational programs, or the "Dream School" that specializes in receiving children who have difficulty finding a suitable educational environment, to help children develop comprehensively in terms of body, mind and personality right from the first years of life.

Every year, Dr. Phuong Thao and her businesses regularly visit SOS Children's Villages across the country to share with unfortunate children, contributing to building a more civilized and beautiful society.

She joined 29 global leaders in signing an open letter calling on the international community to take concrete actions to improve access to online education and digital skills for children, especially girls.

Successful in business, quietly contributing to the community, businesswoman Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao is an inspiration to millions of Vietnamese and international women with the elegant and simple style of Asian women. She has done many things for the economy and integration development. Moreover, she is a model of a woman who has made a lasting contribution to the happy development of children and gender equality.
