Truly impressed with how well-structured the program was and how closely aligned it was with the practical needs of Da Nang’s innovation and startup ecosystem. Beyond providing both fundamental and advanced knowledge, it also offered a comprehensive perspective on ecosystem operations – from government agencies and support organisations to businesses and investors. Insights from local and international experts and mentors – especially on global best practices – gave me valuable strategic perspectives that can be readiy applied in practice. The interactive discussions helped addressed many key challenges related to legal, business models, and long-term development strategies.

Having spent a lot of time supporting the community and hosting investment connection forums, I found the training to be an incredible experience. It went beyond just theory, offering ‘sharp’ and battle-tested tools. I am much more confident now in designing incubation programs and connecting resources.
