From the classroom to startups: Da Nang University promotes student spin-offs.

On May 23rd, Da Nang University organized a training program on entrepreneurship, innovation, and spin-off business development orientation for students. The program aimed to equip students with knowledge, practical skills, and connections to the startup ecosystem, contributing to the commercialization of ideas and research products within the university environment.

Attending the program were representatives from the Da Nang Innovation and Entrepreneurship Support Center (Da Nang City Department of Science and Technology), the Vietnam University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Network, the Songhan Incubator, the Vietnam Investment and Development Bank ( BIDV ) - Hai Van Branch, along with representatives from functional departments of the University of Da Nang, member units, Youth Union and Student Association organizations, and student entrepreneurship clubs.

Speakers participating in the training session gave presentations.

According to the Organizing Committee, in the context of promoting the implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, especially the University of Da Nang's implementation of Conclusion No. 45, which includes targets and tasks for forming spin-off businesses in universities; and promoting innovative entrepreneurship among students, the program is a practical activity aimed at providing students with knowledge, information, and guidance on the development and commercialization of startup product ideas, towards the formation of spin-off businesses.

To accomplish the tasks outlined in Conclusion No. 45, in addition to the great efforts and high determination of the leadership, staff, and lecturers, the support and cooperation of students are also needed. This is because they are a young, energetic, and dynamic force with many potential ideas, solutions, and applied products for future entrepreneurship.

Students from Da Nang University asked questions to the speakers.

Besides academic competitions and entrepreneurship events, innovation also needs training programs for students, experience sharing from speakers and experts, connections between universities and businesses, and support for students in scientific research and entrepreneurship.

During the training program, students from Da Nang University listened to specialized presentations from experts: Mr. Le Trong Tuan - CEO of oBacker Joint Stock Company; and Mr. Le Dinh Hieu - Expert consultant on human resource development strategy and international financial ecosystem in the field of innovation.

The training content equips students with knowledge, practical skills, and legal understanding, enabling them to build business models and connect with experts and businesses within the innovation and startup ecosystem; developing their ideas and products towards the aspiration of forming technology-driven startup businesses.

On this occasion, oBacker Joint Stock Company sponsored 20 business establishment services and 6 months of back-office services for promising student startup groups at Da Nang University (worth over 11 million VND/service), thereby inspiring students to confidently and strongly pursue the realization of innovative ideas and products.

The program aims to equip students with knowledge, practical skills, and connections to the startup ecosystem, contributing to the commercialization of ideas and research products within the university environment.

With the dedication, enthusiasm, sharing, exchange, and interaction of experts, and the interest and response of student groups and students, we hope and believe that more and more products and projects will be developed, applied, and transferred to form spin-off businesses, contributing useful value to the community.
