In April and May 2017, the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Project started classes 12 and 13 including over 150 business owners from 20 different communities in Hoai Duc District. Mr. Mario Bruhlmann opened the program by inspiring them to be part of the small percentage of change makers who have a vision and see opportunities in the problems they face. This first training course on Business Models addresses how to develop a business towards excellence.


Over three days of training, participants learned helpful business management tools like making a quick business plan based on 10 questions and doing a SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). They were very proactive in raising questions and interacting with the trainer and other participants.
After 3 days that inspired me, I saw it was very necessary to bring creative thinking into business for success…
I am really impressed with the business management software [Swiss Create Business Manager] the trainer shared. The tools are very useful and easy to understand, especially the risk management and financial management tools. I will apply these tools in my company.



In addition, Mr. Ngo Van Thuan, Director of Green Food Company, a participant of Class 6, came and shared his experience and the successes his company achieved after joining the training courses.
