Da Nang, Vietnam — The most livable city in Vietnam.

I still remember talking to a very smart young Vietnamese and how she really helped shaped my thoughts about the future of Vietnam.

In Vietnam, you can grow just about anything as long as we don’t poison our soil. Agriculture done correctly can make Vietnam the rice bowl of the world.

When it comes to Technology, Vietnamese ingenuity rivals developed nations. The combination of local talent and the vast spread of Vietnamese living abroad can DEFINITELY make Vietnam a leader in technology.

As for tourism, the potential is second to none. The long stretches of our coastlines, the endless and serene rice paddies, and the majestic mountain ranges are just the tips of the iceberg. Vietnamese cuisines from south to north with its vast diversity of flavors has barely been discovered by the rest of the world. With 54 different ethnicities and countless years of struggle for independence, our rich culture and history is a Hollywood blockbuster yet to be released…if only we can preserve it.

Agriculture, Technology, and Tourism are what I consider to be our true competitive advantages, and if we invest correctly, they can help revolutionize our economy to create an environmentally clean and smart manufacturing sector while preparing our people to take leading roles in education, healthcare, transportation, and energy on the global stages.

Therefore, at Christina’s, we are constantly investing into technology, training and development, and empowering local communities to create a platform to harness Vietnam’s TRUE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES for transformational changes.

And our responsibility doesn’t just stop at the border. We hope to share our work as a new economic model for developing nations wishing to harness their own competitive advantages for their local communities.

So if this is something that you’re interested in, and I am speaking to all of you, especially the activists, the Harvard and Stanford graduates without a direction or a true sense of purpose, the social workers and impact investors with good intentions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly to discuss how you can pursue your exact passion of making the world a better place at Christina’s.

That’s my Thucents!

…and I look forward to your thoughts.
