Vietnam Youth Entrepreneurship Program
Empowering Vietnamese students aged 11-18 to think like entrepreneurs, solve real problems, and build the skills that matter. From ideation workshops to real-company internships. Delivered across 5+ cities with 80+ local mentors.
Why Entrepreneurship Matters in Vietnam
Vietnam has one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia. Yet many young Vietnamese complete their education without the skills to thrive in a rapidly changing job market. By 2030, automation and AI will reshape entire industries.
Entrepreneurship is not just about starting businesses. It is about adaptability, problem-solving, resilience, and the ability to create opportunities. These are the skills that define success in the modern economy.
Young Founders School brings entrepreneurship education to students across Vietnam through hands-on programs that mirror real startup culture. Students do not just learn about entrepreneurship. They practice it. They build real solutions to real problems in their communities.
