Six startup projects have officially advanced to the acceleration round of the ongoing SHi Accelerator Journey (SHi-VTS 2021) programme launched by the Da Nang Songhan Incubator (SHi).

The 6 qualified startup projects are EduTab, BeeKid, NU-DO Kitchen, Amazing Tour English, Sa-ach and Adeva.

The acceleration round, which began on Saturday, highlights an intensive training period lasting 3 - 6 months, including training sessions with experts in the field of entrepreneurship at home and abroad. The programme’s partners are in charge of supporting the participating startups to improve project operation capacity, enter the market, commercialise products and call for investment.

Participating in the SHi-VTS 2021, startup project developers have the opportunity to improve their capacity through intensive training courses, and one-to-one counseling sessions with experts and advisors.

At the same time, they are facilitated to participate in national startup events, do some networking with investors and partners.

The programme is the right fit for projects which boast ambition to conquer larger markets and have the potential to regionally and internationally expand their operational scale.

In addition, project founders must have in-depth expertise in the relevant field.

The SHi-VTS 2021 features the selection of eligible applications, interviews and orientations, in-depth training, consultation and investment connection.

Ms. Vu Thi Bich Hau, Deputy Director of the municipal Department of Science and Technology highly appreciated SHi for its active engagement in supporting innovative startups. This year marks the first time the municipal budget has covered the funding for experts’ participation in incubation and acceleration programmes launched by SHi and the Da Nang Business Incubator (DNES). Hopefully, with the support, startup projects would gain a lot of new knowledge and experience from experts and partners to move to a new stage of development on the entrepreneurial journey with the goal of developing  faster and more sustainable in the coming time.
