From the perspective of a young technology enterprise, Mr. Nguyen Duc Tai, CEO of Lumi Vietnam JSC, stated that the community of Vietnamese businesses reaching out to the global market is still very thin. This can be seen during participation in overseas exhibitions.
Given this reality, Mr. Tai hoped that in the near future, Vietnam would have more young enterprises daring to stretch themselves and export products to the world. To achieve this, it is necessary to ignite aspirations for those making Vietnamese products. The Lumi CEO also proposed that the Government should implement policies to support loan capital for young enterprises.
