As one of the first foreign Business Associations in the Country, gathering over 350 German and Vietnamese Organizations from all industries we are always keen to support new talents! We believe in the potential of the students in Vietnam to come up with ideas that are game changers. From our experience, we know that often a good idea needs some additional support to flourish. This is why we ask you to participate in our GBA Business Challenge – because if you believe in your idea, we want to see it turning into reality.

• Do you have a new idea or a new business model?
• Is your idea sustainable, which can create positive impacts?
• Is it feasible and can be realized within 12 months of the competition?
• Are you in need of financial support or capacity building, or simply an opportunity to challenge yourself, step up and present your ideas?

No matter what you’re involved for, let us accompany you and empower you on your journey to pursue your dreams. Stop being hesitant, stop thinking, it’s time to turn your idea, on which you have spent thousands of hours thinking, debating, and crafting, into a real business. Let’s do it together!
