The excitement from previous rounds hasn’t cooled down yet, and the 3rd round has officially launched! KisStartup continues to recruit interns for the project "Enhancing the Inclusive Digital Transformation Ecosystem for SMEs," focusing on agriculture and tourism in Lao Cai and Son La provinces – IDAP_Internship.

An Event within the IDAP Project

On the morning of December 27, 2024, the workshop “Impact Investment for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in Agriculture and Tourism” was held online, attracting a wide range of businesses and cooperatives from various fields such as agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing. The event was organized by KisStartup within the framework of the IDAP project – the next phase of the GREAT project funded by the Australian Government, aiming to support small businesses and cooperatives in improving their access to investment capital.

I. Objectives

• Promote the products and services of local businesses in Lào Cai and Sơn La.

• Increase revenue for businesses participating in the IDAP project during the 2025 Lunar New Year season.

• Engage the community and foster interaction and connection between students and businesses in Lào Cai and Sơn La.

In the process of digital transformation, some businesses have "inadvertently" created new environmentally-friendly products that provide jobs for marginalized communities.
