WEF leader joins in exchange with young Vietnamese

They discussed issues important to local youths, along with ways to create a national startup ecosystem. 

Rösler shared his career development experiences and gave advice to those who want to set up their own startups. 

Tran Thanh Huy, head of the Hanoi Young Startups club, said during the exchange, he learned about incentives to boost startups used in other countries. He hopes that assistance will also be provided for young Vietnamese to run businesses.
