Pursuant to Decision No. 374/QD-TTg dated February 19, 2025 of the Prime Minister on developing a system of excellent training centers and talents in technology 4.0 by 2030, the Ministry of Education and Training in coordination with Ho Chi Minh City Open University organized a conference to announce the regional center networks in the Central and Southern regions in Ho Chi Minh City.
The conference was attended by Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Van Phuc; Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Quang Hung - Director of the Department of Science and Technology; representatives of functional units of the Ministry of Education and Training, representatives of the Ministry of Science and Technology ; 6 higher education institutions chairing 6 networks and more than 100 representatives of higher education institutions and enterprises that are members of the networks.
Three-way cooperation - the key to success
Speaking at the conference, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Van Phuc emphasized that in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Party and State identify science, technology and innovation as an indispensable foundation for sustainable development, and the "key" to help Vietnam make a breakthrough in the era of the global digital economy .
Universities play a particularly important role, both in training high-quality human resources at international standards and in organizing scientific research, technological development and innovation, linked to the needs of businesses and the economy.
"On August 1, 2025 in Hanoi, the Ministry of Education and Training announced 7 higher education institutions to preside over the network of excellent training centers and talents in the Northern region. Today, the Ministry continues to announce 6 regional networks in the Central and Southern regions, in the fields of artificial intelligence, semiconductor industry, biotechnology, educational technology, renewable energy... This is a step to concretize the Party and State's policies and guidelines into the practice of higher education," said Mr. Phuc.
According to the Deputy Minister, the project to develop a system of excellent training centers and talents in technology 4.0 by 2030 aims to form "leading nuclei" - strategic alliances between universities and businesses in each key technology field.
This model brings together outstanding Vietnamese and international minds, shares laboratories, recognizes each other's credits, creates conditions for students and lecturers to access new technologies and practical problems, thereby promoting research, application and transfer.
He affirmed that international experience shows that only when schools, businesses and the State cooperate closely can a sustainable innovation ecosystem be built. The State creates institutions and operating mechanisms; schools are the center connecting training and research; businesses play the role of a bridge between the market and application.
The Deputy Minister requested educational institutions in the network to widely disseminate the content of the Project to staff, lecturers, students and related subjects; proactively propose investment projects, improve the quality of training and research in priority technology fields.
Proposing national and ministerial-level science and technology tasks; focusing on research products with potential for application and commercialization; enhancing international cooperation, attracting talent, and learning from advanced models in the world.
"It is expected that the networks of excellent training centers and talents in Industry 4.0 technology will be effective, becoming bright spots leading the science, technology, innovation system and training excellent human resources for the country," Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Phuc emphasized.
Regional training connection
Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Ngoc Thinh, University of Technology (Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City) - the host of the artificial intelligence and semiconductor technology network in the Southern region, said that the general goal of the network is to develop in-depth AI training and research capacity, increase high-quality human resources, and spread knowledge and AI training standards to universities and colleges in the region.
According to Associate Professor Dr. Tran Ngoc Thinh, the network will deploy a regional AI framework program - a set of basic and specialized curriculum, flexibly adjusted according to the characteristics of each school.
In parallel, we train resource lecturers through short-term training courses and intensive semesters, as well as organize AI inter-school classes (combining online and in-person) with multi-school group projects, helping students practice practical working skills and develop interdisciplinary strengths.
With the support of businesses, the network will co-design practical programs (case-study, business experts teaching), build Learning Lab/AI Studio sponsored with GPU, server, data; organize AI Bootcamp & Career Day to connect students with the labor market, and award scholarships and international certificates through cooperation with business institutes and academies.
"We want to create a close cooperation environment between universities, businesses and technology organizations. Each school can promote its own strengths, but when connected, it will create a combined strength, promoting training, research and technology transfer more effectively," Associate Professor Dr. Tran Ngoc Thinh emphasized.
Other networks also present their operational orientations, development plans, and the connecting role between training institutions - enterprises - the state in the national innovation ecosystem.
The establishment of networks contributes to the implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and digital transformation, thereby improving the quality of training high-quality human resources in key technology fields.
6 official talent and training center networks were announced, including:
1. Artificial intelligence and semiconductor technology network chaired by the University of Technology (Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City).
2. Central region artificial intelligence and semiconductor technology network chaired by University of Science and Technology - University of Danang.
3. Agricultural Biotechnology Network chaired by Can Tho University.
4. Central Agricultural Biotechnology Network chaired by Hue University.
5. Renewable energy network, Hydrogen energy chaired by Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education.
6. Educational technology network hosted by Ho Chi Minh City Open University.
