Within the framework of the signed MoU, Yunus Environment Hub Vietnam and the Vietnam Interior Design Association will collaborate to promote and support member enterprises in building and implementing innovative circular business models, contributing to the sustainable development of Vietnam. The first training course jointly organized by the Vietnam Interior Design Association and Yunus took place in Hanoi from June 18, 2024, with participation of eight carefully selected member enterprises, evaluated according to the training criteria. Over three days, the course aimed to initially help learners approach and practice business models, circular design strategies, develop systemic thinking, and build operational models for enterprises in the future.
The Vietnam Interior Design Association hopes to continue cooperating with Yunus Environment Hub Vietnam to expand the scope of training courses with suitable content for members in the Central and Southern regions in the near future.
