HSU Business Challenge is a business idea competition organized by the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration. During the preparation for the competition, participating teams faced challenges related to fundraising, investment calculations, and even all teams were ready to showcase and sell their products at trade fair sessions.

The purpose of the competition is to unleash the creativity in business ideas and the strong determination of students who dare to think and act. A notable aspect is to foster an entrepreneurial spirit while students are still in the university setting.

Throughout the preparation phase for the competition, 14 teams introduced their initial products at the Launching Event. Business idea products such as yogurt, panna cotta, compressed soup, fabric bags, thermal mugs, and many other attractive items were showcased in a “trade fair.” This event serves as a platform for students to engage more practically in the business world.

“The HSU Business Challenge 2023, the participating teams demonstrated a spirit of giving their all in the competition of Hoa Sen University students, especially those in the Business Administration major. With energy, skill enhancement, and the guidance of the professors, you will truly create high-value business projects. I hope that next year, we will not only limit ourselves to HSU but expand further, calling for international projects to participate in this Challenge of Hoa Sen University.” – Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vo Thi Ngoc Thuy – President of Hoa Sen University shared.

HSU Business Challenge 2023 is a competition that provides Hoa Sen University students with valuable experiences and practical knowledge in the field of business. It is a great opportunity for Hoa Sen University students to develop themselves effectively and meet the increasing demands of the Vietnamese market. Moreover, it reaffirms the learning environment at HSU with the core values of “Learning by Doing” and “Entrepreneurial Spirit.”

SATORI pioneers the application of an 8-step water purification process with ultrafiltration membranes as small as 0.01 micron. Along with the first-ever sRO remineralization technology in Vietnam, designed to retain a portion of natural minerals just enough for health.

As a result, SATORI products stand out from other purified water products.

Certifications:

1. FSSC 22000 Certification
2. ISO 2200 Certification
3. HACCP Certification
4. Member of the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA)

Visiting SATORI is not just about experiencing the subject matter, but also an opportunity to witness the process of creating pure water from the initial steps:

Firstly, the process begins with blow molding the bottles from plastic, shaping the bottles, and then rinsing them with finished water. After completion, the bottles move on to the automated water filling process. This process is machine-driven, and it can produce 2000 bottles per hour.

Next is the bottle sealing stage, where the automated sealing system of the manufacturing plant takes over. Subsequently, codes, production dates, and expiration dates are printed on the water bottles. The shrink-wrap sealing step has been eliminated to maximize environmental protection.

Almost every step in producing these bottles of pure water involves the assistance of a system of machines, including labeling the bottles. The conveyor belt brings the arranged water bottles quickly and in sufficient quantities to the process of packing them into cardboard boxes. The machine seals the box from all four sides, producing a nearly perfect finished product. The production date and expiration date are then printed on the box.

Lastly, the stage of delivering the products to distributors is efficiently organized by robotic systems for neat and orderly arrangement.

With a working space surrounded by greenery, distant from residential areas, and incorporating modern infrastructure and machinery, SATORI creates an environment that enhances the efficiency and quality of its operations, aligning with business standards. The visit provides valuable insights, allowing students to apply the theoretical knowledge gained in their studies to practical teaching. This hands-on experience enables them to witness positive shifts in their awareness and problem-solving skills.

This field trip provides students from the Faculty of Economics – Business at Hoa Sen University with the most authentic experience of the mineral water production process. It is a rare opportunity for students to gain practical knowledge and apply what they have learned in their coursework. Additionally, it reaffirms the learning environment at Hoa Sen University, emphasizing the core values of “Learning by Doing” and “Vibrant Experience”.
