Finland Helps Innovate Businesses in Da Nang

The role of innovation in successful business activities and how to access a Finnish-sponsored project in this area have been introduced in the central coastal city of Da Nang.

At a seminar on the Vietnam-Finland Innovation Partnership Programme (IPP) in Da Nang on March 2, IPP’s project director Tran Quoc Thang said that the IPP is an official development cooperation project between Vietnam and Finland .


The five-year project which has been carried out in eight provinces and cities since September 2008 aims to improve and promote innovation in Vietnamese businesses and organisations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, personnel training in the field and enhance the Vietnamese-Finnish partnership.


IPP will sponsor three projects under the Da Nang Science and Technology Department for the 2011-2012 period. They include building and improving the capacity of the Da Nang Biological Technology Centre, devising a policy to assist technological renovation in Da Nang City and a project using photo-electricity and LED technology to ensure safety for fishermen and develop the fishing industry in Da Nang .


Da Nang now has around 12,000 small and medium-sized enterprises that employ around 97,000 workers./.
