Although there are many potentials and advantages in terms of human resources, cultural values, history, and indigenous resources, the entrepreneurial spirit among young people and businesses is not high. The application of science and technology in production and improving the value and design of products is still limited.

The Chairman of the People's Committee of A Luoi district also hoped to mobilize and call for external resources combined with internal resources to exploit intellectual property and local potential to start businesses and start innovative startups in accordance with the potential, strengths, and development orientation of A Luoi.
Arousing the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship
At the forum, some young people and new business people in A Luoi expressed their concerns about how to have good startup ideas and start a successful business, as well as how to access technologies to support production, packaging, labeling, etc. Ms. Ho Thi Nga, a member of the A Luoi Safe Agricultural Products Production and Trading Cooperative, shared that many local specialties, including products made from dwarf bananas: fresh bananas, dried bananas, banana candy, banana flour, etc., are still not "as expected". The products are not as beautiful or eye-catching as many products in other provinces and cities, although the quality of the products is not inferior. This is the reason why the production quantity and consumption output of the above products are not as high as expected.
Clarifying the above issues, Mr. Truong Thanh Hung, CEO of FiNNO Group, Vice Chairman of the National Innovation and Startup Advisory Council, said that encouraging and promoting the formation and development of innovative enterprises, also known as startups, is a type of enterprise with the ability to grow rapidly based on the exploitation of intellectual property, technology, and new business models. According to Mr. Hung, first of all, each young person and business household intending to participate in innovative startups needs to recognize what the advantages are and determine what those advantages are in order to participate in startups, start-ups, develop products, brands, etc. from cultural values, history, and indigenous resources.
Regarding concerns about branding, startups, technology support... of some young people, business households, enterprises, Dr. Ho Thang shared information about programs, projects, and support policies of the province on branding, market development of key products, support for startups... For A Luoi, the province has supported the building of a number of brands and collective trademarks such as weaving, surplus rice... and soon to be yellow beef, sturgeon, charcoal sticky rice, dwarf bananas, tourism... with the A Luoi brand. The science and technology sector will always accompany and support from the time of forming ideas, innovative startup projects as well as communication, trade promotion and transfer, technology support, branding, intellectual property development...
In addition to the exchanges, sharing and suggestions for the development of the innovation startup ecosystem in the district in the coming time, some opinions suggested that A Luoi district needs to create an environment to promote business startups, innovation startups, development projects in potential industries, and set out problems for businesses to participate in the district's key industries. Mobilize the participation of ecosystem components, state agencies, schools, socio-political organizations, business communities, incubators... to support businesses in attracting investment, supporting ideas and startup projects with commercial potential in the district. At the same time, the district needs to have practical support policies for businesses to innovate technology, machinery and equipment, and restructure production and business capacity.
