Vietnam Business Community (VEC): Commitment - Support - Development together

(Baonghean) - Established in May 2017, up to now, the Vietnam Enterprise Community (VEC) has established 2 groups: VEC DIAMONDS GROUP and VEC STARS GROUP; becoming a "common home" of 105 members who are business owners representing different industries in the province. The members are increasingly closely connected, united, supporting each other to develop, with the common view "if you want to go far, go together".

“If you want to go far, go together”

Every week, members of the VEC DIAMONDS GROUP and VEC STARS GROUP groups meet in the group's general meeting. This regular meeting is where member businesses of the VEC "common house" are introduced to their company's business fields. Each member of VEC operates in a field, so they have the opportunity to exchange many business opportunities, some worth billions of dong.

VEC DIAMONDS GROUP operates in the spirit of solidarity, support and mutual development.

Solidarity, attachment, sharing, and mutual support in business development are the feelings of members and guests in VEC weekly meetings. Accompanying the success in business transactions are sincere thanks from members; showing the spirit of support, companionship, and construction of members for each other and for the organization.

VEC's general meeting is also a forum for businesses to share valuable business experiences, ways to overcome difficulties, build brands, etc. After a period of working and living under the "common house", members are not only partners but also brothers and close friends in life.

Joining and accompanying VEC DIAMONDS GROUP since its inception, Mr. Do Sy Quang - Director of An Binh Tam Trading and Service Company Limited shared: "Each VEC member does business in a different field, so we are given many business opportunities and in return, VEC gives me the opportunity to learn about management, administration, experience and at the same time creates an environment for exchange, connection and expansion of relationships to develop business".

Joining VEC also brings many practical benefits to the company specializing in the field of lubricants of Mr. Tran Quang Dung - Director of Dung Tran Quang Company Limited. "After 4 months of joining VEC, our company has been given nearly 100 business opportunities by the members, with sales of hundreds of millions of VND; developing more markets and customers. From the sharing of experiences and enthusiastic support of the members, Dung Tran Quang has had a certain change in strategy for sustainable development" - Mr. Dung shared.

After more than 6 months of operation, VEC DIAMONDS GROUP has gathered 64 members who are business owners in many different business fields. The members are active, introducing each other to 1,000 job opportunities, sharing customer relationships, management and business experiences. The total revenue value through job opportunities that VEC members give each other exceeds the original plan; reaching over 52 billion VND/8 months.

In reality, in Nghe An, enterprises are mainly medium, small and micro-sized. Most of them have not yet established and maintained a modern management system, avoiding risks in the face of increasingly fierce competition in the process of international integration. Independent businesses in the market are becoming weaker than organizations of business associations, joint ventures in domestic and provincial investment. Therefore, the establishment and operation of VEC is truly meaningful, helping to connect businesses to create a combined strength from solidarity, mutual support in business, for mutual development.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hung - Chairman of VEC Joint Stock Company affirmed: “VEC community contributes to creating an environment for connecting production and business, supporting capacity building for small, medium and micro enterprises; contributing to the socio-economic development of Nghe An. On the way to their own success, VEC members always have the support of other members. This is a strategic solution, aiming to support small and micro enterprises to have the opportunity to access the market and customers. Thereby, creating many job opportunities, generating revenue and profit; increasing the growth of each member enterprise".

VEC is also a place to connect members through cultural, artistic and sports exchange programs. The family gala night to celebrate Vietnam Entrepreneurs Day October 13, 2017, Sports Day and opening celebration activities... organized by VEC in the past have all become beautiful memories for members; creating a playground for businesses to strengthen connections with the spirit of solidarity, building collective movements.

VEC also connects organizations to organize meaningful charity activities for the community, demonstrating the social responsibility of businesses. On the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2018, VEC cooperated with Nghe An Newspaper to organize a meaningful charity program for the disadvantaged people in Xieng My commune, Tuong Duong district; giving practical gifts, bringing a warm "Tet reunion" to the people.

Discussing the development orientation and spreading the values ​​of VEC in the coming time, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hung - Chairman of VEC Joint Stock Company said: Continuing to inherit the results achieved in the past time, implementing the core value of "Commitment, support, development together", in the coming time, VEC will continuously improve the quality of members and organizations. It is expected that in 2018, VEC will continue to establish 2 new groups, increasing the number of members to 180 businesses participating in activities in the common house of VEC.

Strive for the total number of job opportunities that members introduce to each other to reach 4,000; the cumulative sales value reaches about 100 billion VND; creating jobs for about 2,500 workers for member businesses. Continue to implement exchange and connection activities for the community; build VEC to become stronger and stronger".
