Realising Plan No. 165/KH-UBND of the Hoa Binh People’s Committee on supporting local youngsters in launching startups in the 2023-2030 period, the provincial Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union has issued a plan to implement activities to support youth startups in the period.

The boom of information technology and social media has opened up new business
and economic development opportunities for all, especially youngsters. In order to support innovative startups of local youngsters, the provincial Ho
Chi Minh Communist Youth Union piloted the implementation of activities to
assist its members and local youth by cooperating with KOLs to give the youth
consultations in communications and promotion of youngsters’ startup models.
Nguyen Tuyen, the owner of TikToK channel Tuyen Tuyen Hoa Binh which has 79.1
followers and admin of Facebook group An sap Hoa Binh with 45,000 members, has
provided communication guidance to some startup models in Hoa Binh, while
introducing some economic models and OCOP products by local youngsters, helping
them get closer to more customers.
Over the years, the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union at all levels of Hoa Binh
has conducted many activities to assist local youth in launching their own
startups by promoting their products in social networks, thus expanding their
markets. However, the efficiency of the activities was modest.
In late December 2023 the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee
and the union’s Hoa Binh chapter held a training conference in Yen Tri commune,
Yen Thuy district to provide locals with skills to apply digital technologies
in selling their products via e-commerce platforms.
At the conference, participants who are members of the union, local youngsters,
owners of businesses and cooperatives as well as people who are keen on online
business, learned experts’ experience in selling OCOP products on TikToK Shop
as well as measures to optimise efficiency of TikTok in selling products and
attract customers.
Bui Phi Nam, Director of Yen Tri agricultural cooperative who participated in
the conference said that he learned a lot of helpful knowledge and experience
from the conference, enabling him to create a TikTok video introducing the
cooperative’s Xa den (Celastrus hindsii Benth)jelly product and build
plans to develop the cooperative’s own TikTok channel.
The promotion of startup products by local youngsters through social networks
have helped local youth access new trends, thus becoming more dynamic, creative
and pioneering in digital transformation.
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
The Hoa Binh provincial organising committee for anniversary activities on December 17 held a ceremony to unveil a ceramic mural on the local military-civilian ties and release a book on the Party and political work of the provincial armed forces during 1947 – 2024, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and 35th anniversary of the All-People Defence Festival.
In recent years, Hoa Binh has allocated significant resources to foster cooperative economy, helping ethnic minorities capitalise on their potential and advantages to escape poverty.
As a mountainous district still facing numerous challenges, Da Bac has made notable progress in advancing administrative reforms across various areas. The district has prioritised reorganising and streamlining its administrative apparatus, operating "one-stop-shop” units, and applying information technology (IT) in the handling of administrative procedures. Efforts have also been directed toward upgrading infrastructure and equipment to enhance service quality for residents and businesses.
