According to the Organization Committee, participants will get to:

- Sharpen their “EQ”: by making a life-changing decision to become an entrepreneur. Setting the right mindset is essential to working hard and making dreams come true.
- Seize their “Business opportunities”: by evaluating your idea and turn it into a successful business.
- Develop their” Design thinking mindset”: by studying the art of problem-solving in business strategies and practice, which is crucial in building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP).

In the next activity, the groups will share their baby steps on how to build a business model with the first website, startup capital, advertisements to attract/ convince investors, startup strategies, first clients, etc.

 
These ideas will be helpful in finalizing their business ideas and making a breakthrough on the presentation day. On top of that, they are taking one step closer to being successful entrepreneurs with a strong business background.
Congratulate One Team - One Heart and their mentor - Dr. Huynh Nhut Nghia on their first success to demonstrate the spirit of UEF at a global entrepreneurship competition. It’s worth waiting for what they will experience and how they will connect to international fellows after the 4-week course.
