Strategic cooperation in developing human resources for technology.

The Quantum AI & Cyber ​​Security Institute (QACI – FPT) is expanding its cooperation with many leading universities and technology institutes in Vietnam, aiming to build high-quality human resources and promote research capabilities in strategic technology fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and cybersecurity.

Accordingly, the Quantum AI & Cyber ​​Security Institute has implemented collaborative activities with 5 leading universities and technology institutes nationwide, including the University of Technology (Vietnam National University, Hanoi); the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology; the School of Information and Communication Technology (Hanoi University of Science and Technology), the University of Information Technology (Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City) andFPT University.

These collaborations aim to build a long-term network of links between businesses, research institutes, and universities. Through this, all parties participate in human resource training, applied research development, and gradually integrate real-world technological problems from businesses into research and training activities at universities.

These activities are taking place in the context of Vietnam promoting the development of strategic technologies according to Decision No. 21/2026/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister , such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, cybersecurity, and many other core technology fields. These are fields that require human resources with in-depth research backgrounds, the ability to solve complex problems, and the capacity to transform knowledge into products and solutions that can be applied in practice.

In Vietnam, the gap between research and commercialization remains a major challenge. According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, the commercialization rate of inventions in Vietnam is currently only about 0.1%, much lower than the world average of 5% and the average of 10% in developed countries. Vietnam ranks 37th in the world in the innovation output index, but only 112th in intellectual property revenue, indicating that many research results have not been proportionally converted into revenue and economic value.

In this context, the collaborative model between research institutes, universities, and businesses is expected to help bridge the gap between the lab and practice. Through co-research programs, postgraduate training, doctoral supervision, R&D internships, academic seminars, research summer schools, and lab networking, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students have more opportunities to access research environments connected to real-world problems.

In line with the cooperation orientation, QACI and the universities will jointly implement various professional activities, including co-research, postgraduate training, doctoral supervision, academic seminars, research summer schools, R&D internship programs, and programs to develop young technology talents. These activities are expected to create more opportunities for undergraduates, graduate students, and doctoral candidates to access real-world research environments, work with experts from businesses and lecturers from universities. At the same time, the lab systems, training resources, and expert teams of both sides will be connected to enhance the capacity to implement in-depth research programs.

Associate Professor Ngo Xuan Bach, Director of QACI, shared: “The organization aims to build a close cooperation network between research institutes, universities, and businesses to jointly develop high-quality technology human resources, promote applied research, and gradually master Vietnam's strategic technologies.”

Collaborating with universities is a crucial approach to developing a high-quality technological workforce. In emerging fields such as AI, quantum computing, and cybersecurity, human resources cannot be formed solely through short-term training courses; a continuous environment of learning, research, experimentation, and problem-solving is necessary.

QACI aims to train 100 PhDs; develop and cultivate 2,000 technology experts; and publish 500 articles, patents, and intellectual property rights. These are long-term goals to build a research force and technology experts capable of participating in solving major problems in AI, quantum computing, and cybersecurity.

In the coming period, QACI will continue to expand its partner network, invest in in-depth research and training programs, aiming to become a leading research and innovation center in the fields of AI, quantum technology, and cybersecurity in Vietnam.
