With the moto of Books and reading culture – Awareness, innovation and creativity, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development advised students to be aware of the development trends of science and technology and the 4.0 industrial revolution. “You need to have a love for your career and a new entrepreneurial spirit. I believe that if there is cooperation between schools and businesses in starting a business, creative ideas will be commercialized. Therefore, starting a business in schools is not a playground but an opportunity to become a master in the future. Behind your startup products, starting a business in schools helps students build enough mindset to become a master right after leaving school”. Deputy Minister Nguyen Quoc Tri emphasized.
At the Festival, a large number of delegates visited nearly 20 booths displaying books and innovative startup products. They were amazed to witness such wonderful narrations, illustrations and creativity of students and expressed their high appreciation for this generative innovation.
