Vietnamese Entrepreneur’s Day is observed in Vietnam every October 13 to honor the contributions of Vietnamese entrepreneurs to the country's economy. Established to emphasize their accomplishments, the day is marked by various celebrations across the nation, including the presentation of special awards to prominent entrepreneurs and the organization of conferences and events. The holiday's origins trace back to the economic reforms initiated by the Communist Party of Vietnam after the reunification of North and South Vietnam in 1976, which transitioned the country from a centralized economy to a socialist-oriented market economy. The adoption of laws on private businesses in 1990 led to the creation of over 30,000 private enterprises in the 1990s, significantly boosting the economy and reducing poverty. Vietnamese Entrepreneur’s Day serves to recognize the vital role of the private sector in the nation's industrial output and overall economic development.
