The award is a substantial and meaningful activity honoring outstanding and prestigious young people who have positive influence on the community and have great achievements in the nine areas of learning, scientific research – innovation, labor and production, business – startup, national defence, security and order, sports, culture and arts, and social activities.

Thuong said that after receiving the award, the exemplary young people have continued to contribute to the nation in all fields, and many of them have had great influence and deserved to be role models for other youths.

After the awarding ceremony, award winners will pay tribute to the Hung Kings at the temple dedicated to the legendary founders of the nation in the northern province of Phu Tho.

On March 21 morning, they also paid tribute to late President Ho Chi Minh at his mausoleum and offered incense at the Monument for Heroic Martyrs on Bac Son street.

Among the outstanding young Vietnamese honored this time, Doan Le Hoang Tan, born in 1987, Deputy Director of the Centre for Innovative Materials & Architectures at the Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City, was honored in the field of scientific research – innovation.

The honoree in the business – startup category is Pham Ngoc Anh Tung, born in 1989, CEO of FoodMap – an e-commerce platform linking farmers with small- and medium-sized producers and consumers.
