From April 17–19, 2026, the Final Round of the 8th National Startup Festival for Pupils and Students was successfully held at the Banking Academy in Hanoi. The event was organized by the Ministry of Education and Training in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI). The festival attracted approximately 10,000 participants, 50 enterprises, and numerous leading startup experts from across the country.

Competing against thousands of projects nationwide, students from Da Nang University of Medical Technology and Pharmacy achieved remarkable success by winning Nationwide Encouragement Prizes with two innovative healthcare projects.

The project “PAINUT CARE – A Menstrual Pain Relief Solution from Peanut Shells Integrated with Personalized Software” impressed judges with its pioneering approach, combining natural medicinal materials with a personalized digital platform to provide a safe, modern, and effective healthcare solution for women.

Meanwhile, the project “Glura White Skin Cream” focused on developing a safe and effective cosmeceutical product based on advanced pharmaceutical research and tailored to the characteristics of Vietnamese skin.

These achievements reflect the students’ dedication to research, perseverance, and spirit of innovation, as well as the valuable guidance and support of the University's faculty members. The two projects not only demonstrate strong professional knowledge but also highlight the ability to integrate medicinal resources, technology, and practical community needs. They further affirm the University's educational quality and application-oriented training approach.

The University highly appreciates and commends the students’ efforts, creativity, and proactive engagement in innovation and entrepreneurship. This accomplishment will serve as a strong motivation for them to continue developing their capabilities, nurturing their passion for research, and confidently pursuing future entrepreneurial endeavors.
