 In recent years, young people from local ethnic minority groups and rural areas have received assistance in startup in the form of information, knowledge and start-up skill, and help in developing projects.

Every year, the provincial HCYU committee organises a contest of creative and startup ideas for local youths, attracting more than 30 projects each year, with 70-80 percent of those submitted by contestants from ethnic minority groups.

From 2019, the provincial HCYU committee has coordinated with the international nonprofit organization Aide et Action (AEA)to initially establish a business incubatorforethnic minorityyouths. Over 20 projects of ethnic minorityyouths registered to join the programme, with 13 projects of those selected for support.

In 2018, the youth startup project of the province was launched, leading to the appearance of many good economic models run by ethnic minority youths, such as the club of youths good at doing business, youth cooperatives, and youth farms. Those models have become a reliable channel for local youths to share experience and knowledge, support each other in capital and materials, as well as an effective one to seek and access support policies of the State.

Notably, the provincial start-up club has members being project owners that participated in the provincial contest of innovative and startup ideas, two thirds of whom are ethnic minority young people. Meanwhile, the club of youths good at doing business gathers winners of the Luong Dinh Cua Award in the field of agriculture and forestry.

Hoa Binh currently has over 680 economic models owned by young people, with nearly 400 of those operating in the field of agriculture - forestry, creating stable jobs for thousands of local youths. Many models post profits of hundreds of millions dong per year, generating jobs for young people.
