Furthermore, VinFuture 2024 also attracted special attention from the public with the presence of leading names
in the world and Vietnam in the field of culture and arts. According to the organizers, the "21st-century world rock music icon" - the band Imagine Dragons - will bring explosive and meaningful performances with their distinctive and modern music. Meanwhile, Japanese conductor Honna Tetsuji and the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra, violinist Hoang Ho Khanh Van, and the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet Theatre will showcase performances that highlight the traditional identity and modern beauty of Vietnam. A unique aspect of this year's event is that it will honor nominated partners who have made significant contributions to the mission of honoring and promoting science to serve humanity.
Predicting the fields that will reign supreme: With the message "Breaking Through with Resilience," VinFuture 2024 will honor groundbreaking research and inventions with profound impact, helping humanity overcome difficulties and reach new heights. As usual, this year's VinFuture awards system includes four categories. The
main prize, worth over 76 billion VND (equivalent to 3 million USD), is one of the largest annual awards ever held globally. Three special prizes, each worth nearly 13 billion VND (equivalent to 500,000 USD), will be awarded to female scientists, scientists from developing countries, and scientists researching emerging fields. The VinFuture Awards Council comprises prestigious scientists and inventors from leading educational institutions, research institutes, and technology corporations worldwide. Ahead of the awards ceremony, scientists have been predicting the fields that will be honored at this year's awards. Among them, "hot" fields that receive special attention from the global research community, such as climate change, energy security, global health, and artificial intelligence (AI), are considered strong contenders.

Besides honoring groundbreaking achievements, the VinFuture Awards also provide an opportunity for scientists from many countries to meet and exchange knowledge, perspectives, and diverse approaches, as well as strengthen global networking. Ahead of the awards ceremony, Professor Marina Freitag – Professor of Energy and Research Fellow of the Royal Society at Newcastle University (UK) – predicted that the field of artificial intelligence holds many remarkable developments. Artificial intelligence will help us develop new materials and breakthroughs in many energy applications. Professor Richard Henry Friend (University of Cambridge, UK), recipient of the Millennium Technology Award 2010 and Chairman of the VinFuture Awards Committee, revealed: "With VinFuture, we will search everywhere to find something that will surprise and amaze everyone." Despite being a relatively new award, VinFuture, after three seasons, has created a significant global impact. Many VinFuture winners have subsequently been honored with other prestigious awards, including the Nobel Prize. According to experts, its superior vision and systematic organization have helped VinFuture gather many renowned scientific minds from around the world to participate in the Award Council and attract many high-quality nominations of great value to humanity. As a result, VinFuture has quickly built international prestige and established itself as a worthy competitor to long-standing science and technology awards worldwide.
