Could you please share some difficulies that you have to faced with in business, and how you overcomed them?

The initial challenges we have faced in this respect are related to lack of awareness and education related to WASH issues.

In order to overcome that challenge we started providing whole solutions, instead of just selling products and services. Our solutions come with awareness & education, passion and motivation to change the world and make it a better place adapting inclusive social business model.

Our contributions to the society, health and environment have been recognized as iconic and strategic by the United Nations, Impact Hub, UNIDO, GEF, MaGIC, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, SingularityU, World CSR Congress Council in India, World Invention and Innovation Forum in China, China Tourist Association & Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation among others.

Your plans, intention for the company’s development in the future?

Primary Objective

To make ECOLOO a global brand and a must to have for all households in remote areas, tourist attraction, UN procurement for disaster relief and refugee camps among others.

Details

We have identified a validated market subsegment in the following areas:

1. Off grid houses / floating houses / low cost houses / public toilets.

2. Municipalities & Rural Government.

3. UNESCO Heritage Areas & Pilgrimage Areas.

4. Slum, Urban Schools & Households.

5. NGOs & Disaster Relief Centres.

6. Refugees Camps.

7. Rural schools, refugee camps, factories and disaster relief centres as this will lead to disastrous water, sanitation and health issues followed by environmental and economic issues.

8. Boat, ferry, bus and railway operators especially for long distance. Because the chemical toilets are difficult to be maintained, most sludge is released quietly in the street, river or sea.

Which business areas are you prefer to connect with in Viet Nam market?

Municipalities for rural and urban development, tourism, WASH sector (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene), developers and NGOs, distributors and business people who are open minded and passionate about WASH issues and environment.

What do you think about the topic “Digital technology & sharing economy” of Top 100 International Business Style Award this year? What are your expectations of the Honor Ceremony of Top 100 International Business Style Awards 2018?

The topic is very interesting and it is important to highlight the benefits of sharing economy which are changing our way of living and thinking. I have much input on that topic if desired.

My expectations of the Honor Ceremony of Top 100 Business Style Awards 2018 are:

– Social and business global networking opportunities which will open the doors for investors and business people to collaborate.

– It will promote Vietnam in particular and Asean in general attracting international people whether they are business people, investors or tourists.

– It will give appreciation to the awarded people/companies and encourage them to work harder with more motivation and passion to achieve higher goals.

– The results gained from matchmaking and investments will have positive impact on the local economy of which will be reflected on the Vietnamese citizens in general and on the BoPs in particular in terms of work and business opportunities, and will hopefully also create circular and/or sharing economy for the benefits of environment, BoPs and our precious limited resources.
