The 7th Student Startup Competition, organized annually by the Ministry of Education and Training, aims to promote entrepreneurship and innovation among young people. It serves as a platform for students to showcase breakthrough startup ideas and develop sustainable business models that contribute to socio-economic development. The project “Production and Commercialization of Black Termite Mushroom” by Lac Hong University once again affirms the university’s strong position in this entrepreneurial arena.

The project was carried out by a group of students from the Faculty of Management – International Economics in collaboration with the Faculty of Food Science and Technology. With creativity and enthusiasm, the team developed a production model for black termite mushrooms, a valuable mushroom variety known for its high nutritional value and strong commercial potential. The project not only contributes to promoting the local economy but also addresses sustainable agricultural practices through modern production methods.

In this year’s competition, the team received dedicated support from mentors, including Dr. Nguyễn Văn Tân, an entrepreneurship training expert; Ms. Văn Thị Bích, the competition coordinator; Ms. Mai Hương Trà; and Mr. Lưu Ngọc Liêm. The guidance from lecturers and experts in agriculture and entrepreneurship helped the team refine and improve their business model from the idea stage to practical implementation.
