In your opinion, what does attending the Global Summit of Women bring to female entrepreneurs?

Participating in the Global Summit  of  Women, I have the opportunity to interact and learn from female entrepreneurs around the world. The conference was organized meticulously and thoroughly, from program content to travel and accommodation schedules. In my opinion, the things that the Global Summit of Women has brought to women entrepreneurs are:

Enhance understanding on a global scale; Participate in conference programs, seminars, and discussions with practical topics, thereby raising awareness and interacting, creating relationships with female entrepreneurs around the world.

Besides, we also improved our English skills, enhanced international communication, and understanding of the culture, landscape, and people of the country hosting the conference, and to be among the team of Vietnamese businesswomen from different businesses all over the country, to proudly introduce the values ​​of Vietnamese businesswomen to international friends.

According to you, to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with businesswomen from other countries on the road to international integration, what factors do Vietnamese businesswomen need to have?

In my opinion, to stand shoulder to shoulder with female entrepreneurs from other countries on the path of integration, Vietnamese female entrepreneurs need to have the following factors:

Must have knowledge and skills, grasp fluctuations and development trends in the world, and be ready to integrate, especially when business leaders want to export their products or services to the world.

Improve your English language to have the ability to communicate, behave confidently, seriously and with poise.

Female business leaders also need to make changes consistent with global development trends, adapt to a volatile world, and develop sustainable businesses according to the 17 criteria of the United Nations.
