“STARTUP INTERN 2017” was a competition looking for start-up ideas which was jointly organized by the Faculty of Business Administration (DBA), University of Economics, The University of Danang and Central Region Petrolimex Gas Corporation for the purpose of creating an environment for DBA students in particular and students of the University of Danang in general to be exposed to the real start-up environment following the “Lean – Startup” model – Instead of arising and realizing all the ideas by yourself, Lean forces you to test your ideas from reality before doing.
