In his sharing, CEO Phung Anh Tuan opened with an inspiring sentence: "Appeat failure to learn a lesson to succeed". He emphasized that failure is not the end, but an important stepping stone to draw valuable experiences. It was his past stumbles that helped him mature, become more steady and build the F88.
According to Mr. Tuan, before establishing F88, he had experienced many failed startups in the field of cybersecurity and technology. Mistakes from poor management, lack of financial control to not being able to meet customer needs have taught him valuable lessons.
When he started with F88, he built a modern, transparent model with a spacious store system, clear processes and professional services. Despite initial concerns, F88 has gradually affirmed its position and become one of the leading companies in the field of microfinance in Vietnam.
However, he always maintains a spirit of learning, is not afraid of change and is ready to face challenges. The practical stories from his own experiences have strongly inspired students, in addition, he also mentioned new thinking. He advised students to set clear goals for the next 3-5 years, persistently carry out small steps and always keep a progressive spirit.
"5 years after graduation is a golden time to accumulate knowledge and skills. Work hard, try to participate in projects, programs, and competitions as much as possible, and look for good mentors to study hard, so the opportunity will come" - Mr. Tuan shared more.
Mr. Pham Duc Duy - Director of BAAS TRIBE project of MB Military Bank digital banking group shared: "Students keep doing things, keep failing, do as much as possible as possible, and most importantly, you must be steadfast, only then can you grow up".
Contributing to promoting and creating opportunities for young people to accumulate practical knowledge and practice skills at the workshop, the Finspark competition was also announced. This is a contest introduced as a platform to help students access practical knowledge and practice skills under the guidance of leading experts supporting talent development in the field of Fintech first in Vietnam, sponsored by F88 with three main stages:
Talent Search Round (21.2 - 16.3) - a program to receive and screen applications and interviews to find candidates with basic knowledge and breakthrough spirit.

In the context of education and the current labor market in Vietnam, many students are facing a situation of uncertainty about their career orientation. As one of the leading potential markets in Southeast Asia, Fintech Vietnam currently has great room for development. However, the market also faces many challenges, including high-quality human resources. The Fins park contest will be a playground to help young people explore new trends, provide practical knowledge, learn from experts and also an opportunity for them to seek breakthroughs in their careers.
