Sapa Thale to Accompany Startup Community in Covid-19 Pandemic



HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach - 1 September 2020 - Sapa Thale Group considers the complicated situation of the Covid-19 pandemic and enormous difficulty of the global financial market as a good time to invest and support for startups in Vietnam in particular and around the world in general.

As reported in a survey by Startup Genome, about 74% of startups in 45 countries were forced to lay off their full-time employees due to the adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Most startups only have enough capital to maintain their business operation for a few months while their hope to mobilize more short term capital almost "fades". This will consequently put two-thirds of all startups out of business after the ending of Covid-19 pandemic.


Startups in Vietnam are no exception as they are under great financial pressure even though the Government has a credit support package to help enterprises overcome difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. But this package only is perhaps not enough.

These technology applications meet the explosive demands of connection and data processing in addition to monitoring the network to each node and ensuring the integration of network safety and security immediately upon their design and development after the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

"Besides its negative impact on the global economy, the Covid-19 pandemic also creates a unique opportunity to move towards a "contactless" economy by promoting digital payments, online education, remote diagnostics and treatment for healthcare and digital data sharing, etc. We are making our best efforts to promote in many countries so that they can grasp this opportunity in time" said Mr. Mai Vu Minh.
