The Da Nang Women's Union recently launched the ‘Da Nang Women's Startup Club’ with 116 members within the framework of the Da Nang Women’s Creative Startup Festival.

A booth displaying startup products attracts a great deal of visitors within the framework of the Da Nang Women's Creative Startup Festival.

Club members are female business owners, production and business households, cooperatives, economic models citywide who have made many contributions to the local women's movement.

The club aims to encourage female entrepreneurs to help one another in production and business activities and facilitate them to confidently start their own businesses, thereby contributing to improving the role and position of women in the family and in society.

Also within the framework of the festival, there were a total of 20 booths displaying startup products from women-owned businesses and establishments. These were valuable innovative products in the fields of agriculture, services, handicrafts, health care, beauty and tourism, and souvenir gifts with high applicability and all of them have won the trust of a large number of customers.

Ten best ideas were selected to advance to the ‘Startup ideas in 2021’ contest. The product ‘Clear treatment essence using folk herbs’, the brainchild of Ms. Luong Anh Thu from Thanh Khe District, won the first prize at the contest.

The event’s organisers also awarded two second, three third and four consolation prizes for the remaining ideas.

On this occasion, the Da Nang Women's Union also launched the programme entitled ‘Vietnamese women confidently do business’ to equip women members with knowledge, skills and confidence to help women be brave in doing business for a better life, spreading positive energy in the community and promoting gender equality.
