Tiếng ViệtHi Guys!!!
How long has it been since we met and shared many good things? It has been a very long time since I have returned to the stage as a program coordinator, an expert interviewer. Today, Saturday, March 22, can be said to be a very happy and meaningful day for me personally. Because, I have the opportunity to do something good, contributing to the success of others.
What is that? Please take a few minutes to read the report below & share my own feelings at the end of this article!!!
“Saturday Cafe“, a name that at first glance seems to be a coffee session with friends and relatives. But, for us, it is a brand, a slogan, a mission of the whole nation: Saturday Cafe – National Entrepreneurship.
Today, Saturday, March 22, 2025, in the city named Uncle Ho (Ho Chi Minh City), we, people with the same ideals and noble mission, have organized the program: Saturday Cafe – National Entrepreneurship.
Saturday Cafe – National Entrepreneurship is a brand & weekly activity program under the National Association of Entrepreneurship (VINEN). With the aim of updating the policies of the Party & State to businesses, organizations and individuals, as well as sharing knowledge and experience about starting a business and starting a business from successful experts and entrepreneurs to young people who have a legitimate desire to start a business and get rich.
The seminar took place in a solemn, warm atmosphere, full of joy. Mr. Nguyen Quang Huy – Vice Chairman, Deputy General Secretary of VINEN, Chairman of the National Startup Investment Fund (VNSIF) – opened with a speech: “The National Association of Entrepreneurship (VINEN) is a place to incubate and raise the level of Vietnamese entrepreneurs, towards serving the Nation, prospering the Nation. With 6 pillars: Incubation – Training – Consulting – Investment Promotion – Trade Promotion and Dialogue, the Association is an effective bridge for the start-up community, entrepreneurs and businesses in Vietnam“. He also emphasized the practical support that VINEN brings to Vietnamese businesses.
Next, there was a discussion with the guest expert, Mr. Le Loc through a very close, friendly and humorous lead of Mr. Nick‘s Tran (it‘s me!!).
The questions revolve around the secret of success that guest expert Mr. Le Loc has been and is experiencing in his more than 20 years of business and entrepreneurial life. The lessons that the guests of the program can focus on the most are: (1) live with aspirations, live with dreams, live with great ambitions, (2) must know who you are, what your mission is, (3) must have a clear plan and goals (4)… and many other interesting lessons.
After the question-and-answer session from Mr. Nick’s Tran, came the Q&A session from the audience and guests in the program. The atmosphere at this time is really … “hot“ because Mr. Le Loc‘s sharing has touched the hidden heart, dreams, desires, and national pride.
The questions revolved around the concept of “leverage” and “support” from the Association, as well as the support from the business community that was ahead of and successful for young businesses and startup ideas of young people who attended the program. Answers from the representative of the Association – Mr. Quang Huy & guest expert Mr. Le Loc made the auditorium full of applause.
Not stopping there, another question came from a business in Lam Dong, how to export high-quality agricultural products such as coffee to foreign markets. Answers from guest experts & representatives of the Association not only inspire businesses in Lam Dong but also connect foreign partners to cooperate in business after the program ends.
And, there are many extremely good and practical questions of the young people participating in the program. But, through the framework of this sharing, we cannot tell all the joys, breakdowns, as well as extremely deep and practical lessons from the guest expert. We would like to make an appointment for the following programs to confide more with you and readers who are destined to read through this article…
The end of the program is a thank you and gratitude to the companions & sponsors of gifts of knowledge & extremely valuable artifacts through the Saturday Cafe – National Entrepreneurship program, which can be named: Cafe From CauDat (FCD) Brand, Meta Success, TIFLA Education & Training, 9S Union, Cosmos & Care, Salenoptic & G2G Foundation.
Finally, all the audience and the organizers & guest experts took souvenir photos and the program ended in joy and happiness.
The program ended on Saturday morning not only warm about the weather in Saigon, but also sure that each participant had their own feelings and “warmth“ in their own way. Because, only starting from the “heart” can touch the “heart”.
The “echo“ not only stopped at the framework of the seminar, but it also “pulled“ followed by very positive comments and extremely enthusiastic feelings, which can be cited below:
- Mrs. Trang (business representative in Lam Dong): “I am very impressed with today‘s program. My question about exporting high–quality coffee not only received an inspiring answer, but also opened up the opportunity to network with international partners right after the event. Saturday Cafe is really a place to connect values, helping businesses like us in Lam Dong find a new direction. Thank you to the Association and you for organizing a meaningful program like this!”
- Mrs. Hieu (Head of Hieu Toan Law Office): “Attending the Saturday Cafe, I felt the warmth and practicality from the sharing of Mr. Le Loc and Mr. Quang Huy. In particular, the Association‘s 6 pillars of activity – from incubation, training to investment promotion – are clear guidelines for businesses and individuals to start a business. As a person working in the field of law, I find that the program not only connects the community but also arouses the desire to serve the nation. Looking forward to the next sessions!“.
- Ms. Lisa Vu (Co–founder of G2G Foundation): “I am starting a business in my 30s, with a lot of ambitions and big dreams. Through the Saturday Cafe program, I have a better understanding of my mission and responsibility to society. I am committed to continuing the journey of youth entrepreneurship, which is to help many disadvantaged people & support women to start businesses for international integration.”
- And, a lot of other emotional thanks and feelings that we can‘t tell you all about…
Dear friends!!
What do you see, hear, and feel through this program? For me, it is national pride, an endless source of inspiration to continue the journey of bringing my experience and wisdom to support more successful businesses in particular, especially young people who aspire to start a successful business in general.
One of my life philosophies: “helping a person does not change the world, and changes the whole world of that person“.
Let‘s do good things together….
Wishing you Good health – Peace of mind – Wisdom & many blessings!!
Mr. Nick’s Tran
