Entrepreneurship & Innovation
Advancing research and practice in entrepreneurship, HSB connects knowledge with market application to develop globally minded entrepreneurs capable of driving innovation and sustainable growth.
Overview
HSB is known as “an entrepreneurial ecosystem for venture creation,” where entrepreneurship research is closely integrated with real-world practice. Research focuses on entrepreneurial ecosystems, start-up strategies, and growth pathways for small and medium-sized enterprises — a key driver of Vietnam’s economy.
These activities are supported by the Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE), which serves as both a research hub and an incubation platform. The Center generates knowledge on entrepreneurship through research, while supporting venture creation through incubation, entrepreneurship education, innovation competitions, and industry collaboration, contributing to the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems and the growth of new ventures.
