Million dollar technology projects
Mr. Hoang Khac Hieu (from Quang Binh) joined Viettel Solutions in 2019, after graduating from the Information Technology major at Hanoi University of Science and Technology. Here, the young man overcame many challenges and took the lead in implementing and developing important projects of the unit, bringing in millions of USD in revenue.
The most impressive project for him was the "Green Channel" project to ensure smooth traffic across the country during the Covid-19 outbreak in Vietnam. "We only had 2 weeks to build a completely new system, replacing the old one. There was pressure, but at that time I just thought simply, I cannot sit still when the country needs it," Mr. Hieu shared.
While the whole country is in social distancing and everyone is worried about the risk of infection, Mr. Hieu and his colleagues are ready to "camp" at the office to carry out their duties. The team works from 8am to 12am. "Everyone wants to contribute to help the country overcome this difficult period," Mr. Hieu recalls.

As a result, the "Green Lane" system operated successfully, helping thousands of vehicles to travel safely during the tense pandemic. After this project, Mr. Hieu continued to take on more important roles. He became the leader of many large-scale technology projects such as the intelligent traffic monitoring system in the Smart City ecosystem, deployed in more than 30 localities at home and abroad, bringing in revenue of more than 200 billion VND.
"We always participate in national digital transformation projects with the goal of accompanying the country, including smart traffic systems and digital offices. At first, the smart traffic project only met the customer's requirements of detecting traffic violations, but I saw that the project still had a lot of potential for development, so I invested in research so that the product could solve current traffic problems such as traffic jams, traffic accidents...", Mr. Hieu said.
After a period of research efforts, this product has now become a smart traffic ecosystem, helping urban traffic management operate smoothly, with optimal features for users. The product has introduced new solutions such as: intelligent traffic light control in large cities; providing traffic density maps so that people can choose suitable routes, avoiding traffic jams; installing smart traffic systems on buses to detect road damage, avoiding traffic accidents...
Conquering the international market
Not only solving outstanding domestic issues, Mr. Hieu also presides over the research and production of important new products of the unit to deploy in the international market. The Trafficid product in the smart traffic ecosystem has been deployed in Peru and Dubai (UAE) worth 2 million USD.

Mr. Hieu shared that when promoting the project in the Dubai Financial Center, he was also very worried because this is a city with many of the world's leading large companies investing, while Viettel Solutions "brought the bell to strike a foreign land" for the first time in this field, would the solution meet the requirements? However, he is still confident in his ability because he has participated in many smart urban development projects. The foreign problem also poses many challenges, there are things that require flexible adaptation, but the project has proven its capacity in the IOT system to monitor flood warnings; monitor traffic fines integrating AI right on the camera and 5G technology. The project presentation was witnessed by many agencies, departments and branches of Dubai City and they were very surprised that Vietnam can produce such high-tech products.
"I still remember the feeling when presenting the demo of Viettel Solutions' smart traffic solution at the Dubai Financial Center. Experts and customers were surprised and exclaimed: "I didn't expect Vietnam to be able to make a product integrating AI and 5G like that!". At that time, I was really proud of what the team had done," said Mr. Hieu.
Never stop innovating
Sharing about his journey into science and technology, Mr. Hieu said that at Viettel Solutions, he is always ready to step out of his comfort zone to take on new and difficult tasks for the unit. For Mr. Hieu, creativity is the key to survival and development. Therefore, during his time working here, he is the author of many initiatives that bring great value to the business. Not only contributing with technology products, Mr. Hieu is also an important factor in orienting the development of young human resources at Viettel Solutions. He is always ready to share his experiences with colleagues, inspire the next generation and constantly promote innovative ideas.
"Working in technology is a journey of continuous learning. I always keep in mind that if I want to go far, I must not be afraid of challenges or collisions. The most important thing is to maintain a progressive spirit, dare to do, dare to innovate. In particular, we not only learn technological thinking but also imbue the spirit of a soldier. Discipline, readiness and especially responsibility to the community are always put first," Hieu confided.
According to Mr. Hieu, Vietnam is entering a new era - the era of rising up. With a clear development orientation, the Party and the State have issued many important policies to promote technology and innovation. One of them is Resolution 57, which aims to turn Vietnam into a country with technological strength. For the young generation, this is a period full of challenges but also opens up countless opportunities to break through and assert themselves.
"The young generation needs to nurture their passion and constantly learn in all fields. For the information technology industry, this is a field that is always changing at a dizzying speed, those who are slow will easily be left behind. Not only that, creativity and problem-solving ability are key factors that help each individual overcome challenges. Young people who are passionate about technology, please prepare yourself to adapt, constantly learn and develop yourself. Most importantly, set clear goals and persistently pursue them. Technology is the future, if you have enough passion and effort, you will find your place in the digital world," Mr. Hieu sent a message to young people.
Sharing about bringing Vietnamese technology to the world, Mr. Hieu said there will be many difficulties, but it is those challenges that have sparked new aspirations for him. "I want to build Viettel branded products of national stature. Moreover, I also hope to bring Vietnamese technology to the world, proving that we can master technology at an international level," Mr. Hieu expressed.
With his continuous efforts, Mr. Hoang Khac Hieu was honored as one of the 10 Outstanding Young Faces of Vietnam in 2024 by the Central Youth Union. He is also one of the 10 Outstanding Young Faces of the entire army in 2024.
