Today\\u2019s episode is with Soline Linh Le from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
\\n\\nI\\u2019ve met many entrepreneurs who wear many hats but Soline takes the cake.
\\n\\nShe is an entrepreneur, a university lecturer, a woman leader, a community developer and a gender equality advocate. Most of all, she is an ecosystem developer and her story will explain how she did it.\\xa0
\\n\\nShe first had the idea to start her business, Vietnam Dental Tourism when foreign friends commented positively about visiting Vietnam for dental treatments.\\xa0
\\n\\nPaying attention to this, she realized that dentistry could be a way to grow tourism, a sector she was deeply familiar with. She brought together dentistry players and tour operators in Vietnam to create a medical tourism business to attract foreign tourists and American Vietnamese.
\\n\\nBut that\\u2019s not all. The dental industry creates waste and she wanted to tackle the waste issue. Dental businesses were slow to adopt technology and she wanted to help them speed up their digital adoption.\\xa0
\\n\\nSo it was not just about entrepreneurship but building a sustainable ecosystem with the right players while adding sustainability, digital adoption and gender equality to the mix.
\\n\\nWe also spoke about her passion for paying it forward through her community involvement for Vietnamese women and her 3Es concept, her studies in Switzerland and the ecotourism role she took up in Uganda and why despite it all, Soline chose to return to Vietnam. Her story is fascinating as well as compelling.\\xa0
