On August 15, 2017, at Sewing Factory No. 8, Luong Tai, Cam Thuy, Thanh Hoa, Trung Vuong University’s leadership, alongside leaders from Ho Guom Group, domestic and international business partners, and numerous university staff and employees, gathered to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ho Guom Group and the reception of a $1 million startup fund by Trung Vuong University.
Founded in 1992 as a small workshop under Konfetimex Garment Services, Ho Guom Group has evolved into a diversified economic entity, ranking among Vietnam’s top 500 enterprises and recognized as one of the country’s 100 most sustainable businesses. Over three decades, the group has expanded its operations across multiple sectors, including Textile and Garment, High-Tech Agriculture, Real Estate, Information Technology, and Education and Training. It employs approximately 4,000 individuals across 12 provinces in Vietnam, including prominent locations such as Hanoi, Vinh Phuc, and Hai Phong.

As a strategic investment in Ho Guom Group’s new development phase, the university received a generous gift of 23 billion VND (~$1 million) earmarked for a student startup program. This startup fund will serve as an angel investment fund for entrepreneurial initiatives proposed by Trung Vuong University students. Similar to conventional investment funds, student projects will undergo rigorous evaluation by an assessment council to assess their viability. Projects deemed promising will receive financial support to advance their business ventures. The Trung Vuong Startup Fund is slated to commence operations in the 2022-2023 academic year with plans for continued supplementation in subsequent years.

This initiative underscores the university’s commitment to providing educational and vocational opportunities to the families of dedicated Ho Guom Group employees in 2022.
Looking ahead to the 2022-2023 academic year, Trung Vuong University is enhancing its educational infrastructure, including expanding teaching and learning facilities at Km5 – Kim Long, Tam Duong, Vinh Phuc, and establishing a new practical facility on the 12A floor of Ho Guom Plaza (No. 102 Tran Phu, Mo Lao Ward, Ha Dong District, Hanoi). Admission to the university will be facilitated through two primary methods: high school graduation exam results for 2022 and academic transcript reviews. Students will benefit from state-of-the-art classrooms at both Hanoi and Vinh Phuc campuses, tailored to their academic preferences. Moreover, the university plans to introduce seven full-time majors, including Business Administration, Economic Law, Accounting, Finance and Banking, Nursing, Chinese Language, English Language, and intends to expand its program offerings with additional majors in the future.
