Mr. Fabio De Cillis, Director of the Italian Trade Office in Ho Chi Minh City, said: “We are living in a world that is changing at a dizzying pace, and this does not necessarily bring positive benefits. When pursuing the goal of “growth at all costs”, we risk losing traditional values, the common values ​​of the society we create, leading to inequality. Therefore, the urgent thing now is to find a solution to overcome this problem, to ensure a sustainable future for the community. Design will play an important role in building a fair society where everyone has access to opportunities”.
