| According to Mr. Homan Seyedin, the project in Binh Dinh province is not only a place to train human resources but also a place to research, develop and apply technologies in the energy industry. |
According to Mr. Homan Seyedin, GEO Group currently has 22 training centers in 12 countries around the world; however, there is no center in the world that the company has designed and planned as modernly as the center in Binh Dinh province.
The Marketing and Sales Director of GEO Group in Asia said that, understanding that the General Corporation of Engine and Agricultural Machinery (VEAM) was assigned by the Government to produce propellers in Vietnam, GEO Group has put into the center a place to train engineers and researchers on propeller production technology.
At the same time, during the meeting with GEO Group on June 17, 2025, VEAM also expressed its desire to produce turbines for the group. Mr. Homan Seyedin affirmed that to do this, personnel must be trained at the above center before being allowed to produce.
At the center in Binh Dinh province, GEO Group plans to build two wind power plants, one using the group's technology and the other using a third party's technology for students to learn.

Along with that, the center also has a test tank that recreates and simulates offshore impacts such as waves, storms, etc. for students to experiment with.
In addition, at the center, GEO Group also created a module to train for offshore industries, not just wind turbines - this is a content that, according to the group's representative, "is currently not available in Asia".
GEO Group also built a factory to produce hydrogen and hydrogen products, creating a closed model to both research, further development and technology transfer to Vietnam. One of the hydrogen products that the group is interested in is the production of high-pressure oxygen for medical use.
In addition to its human resource training mission, the center is also a place to test and evaluate products researched by other units related to the renewable energy industry.
“The Group hopes that this model wind turbine will be the first in Binh Dinh. Our goal and desire is a Made in Vietnam branded turbine from Binh Dinh. This is the first type of turbine in the world that can self-propelled from the ground to the installation location, currently no turbine manufacturer can do this,” said Mr. Homan Seyedin.
According to Mr. Homan Seyedin, the special thing introduced is that normally wind turbines are made of steel, but the wind turbines of GEO Group are made of concrete. This turbine will also be the first to be placed in Binh Dinh.
Sharing about the GEO Group project, Ms. Mai Thi Ngoc Thuy, General Director of O-DOOR Vietnam Company emphasized that no other group has come to Vietnam to train and transfer all technology like GEO Group.

The working time was only over a month to get the results as today.
