5.1. Before going to the implementation plan, we would like to present some reasons for Establishing Vietnam Technology Startup Club on the Cardano blockchain platform.

As international integration deepens, all products on the market face stiff competition from domestic and foreign competitors. It is extremely important to ensure goods of good quality, clear origin, and reputable brands, directly affecting competitiveness. And the search for technological solutions to help trace the origin as well as protect the brand quickly, accurately, etc. has become a trend in the manufacturing field in general.

We will never forget the painful lessons of Vietnamese agricultural products when being "victims" of "brain thieves".

In 2000, Trung Nguyen coffee had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get the domain name back in the US.

In 2008, Ben Tre coconut candy was branded stolen in China, causing export volume to plummet, from 900,000-1,000,000 tons/year to only a few tens of thousands of tons/year.

In 2011, Buon Ma Thuot coffee was registered for exclusive protection by China for 10 years in China, and was registered for exclusive protection by France in 10 other countries.

In 2011, Phu Quoc fish sauce was branded stolen in China, Thailand, Europe, and Australia.

And most recently, right in this 2021, are the pressing concerns related to the ST25 rice brand that 5 US businesses and 1 Australian business applied to register for "protection" of the brand.

The ST25, the Trung Nguyen coffee, the Phu Quoc fish sauce... are the clearest proofs of the disadvantage of Vietnamese agricultural products.

But it also shows the weakness of enterprises when they do not know, or do not drastic in "asserting themselves", "protecting themselves" in the domestic as well as international markets.

--> That is also the basis for us to help them find solutions based on Cardano in particular and Blockchain in general. For example, Traceability solutions and services for Vietnamese exports, or applications in the fields of Education and Health...

To do that, we should gather together into a Startup Club on the Cardano platform.
