On September 9th, Can Tho University, in collaboration with CT Group, organized a scientific conference titled "National Digital Clone - A Technological Breakthrough for Smart Agriculture in the Mekong Delta".
Associate Professor Tran Trung Tinh, Rector of Can Tho University, delivered a speech at the conference.
In his opening remarks at the conference, Associate Professor Tran Trung Tinh, Rector of Can Tho University, stated that the Mekong Delta is a major agricultural and fisheries production region but currently faces many challenges such as climate change and limitations in traditional agricultural production models.
Therefore, developing smart agriculture is not only an inevitable trend but also a strategic solution to ensure a safe and sustainable food supply, effectively adapt to climate change, and enhance international competitiveness.
Associate Professor Dr. Le Van Vang - Rector of the School of Agriculture, Can Tho University - believes that information technology and artificial intelligence (AI) are mandatory technologies in smart agricultural production. Without information technology, it will be difficult to implement smart agriculture effectively.
"Smart agriculture increases production efficiency, reduces labor force, and adapts well to climate change. However, this model requires highly skilled labor, which is not suitable for small-scale production; the investment costs are very high, so the involvement of the State or businesses is needed," emphasized Associate Professor Dr. Le Van Vang.
Delegates attending the workshop
Mr. Tran Kim Chung, Chairman of CT Group, announced that the group has developed the "National 15-Layer Digital Clone" (NDT15) technology. NDT15 includes 250 features for all industries, helping with monitoring, early warning and risk management; simulation and forecasting, building scenarios for urban, industrial, agricultural, and ecological development; data integration and standardization, etc.
Mr. Tran Kim Chung, Chairman of CT Group, speaks about the NDT15 technology developed by the group.
NDT15 has 36 features applicable to smart agriculture. Typical examples include AI, UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), IoT (Internet of Things), and satellite imagery to monitor crop seasons, plant health, and optimize irrigation and fertilization. Simultaneously, it provides interdisciplinary data for land planning, water management, and ensuring sustainable food security.
Representatives from Can Tho University and CT Group signed an agreement to develop a UAV center combined with intelligent robots and a UAV pilot training school.
At the conference, Can Tho University and CT Group signed agreements to develop projects such as: a UAV center project combining agricultural robots and a UAV pilot training school; cooperation in training on advanced packaging in the semiconductor industry; cooperation on developing carbon credits for the Mekong Delta; and developing high-quality human resources for the Mekong Delta in science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation using AI technology…
