In Vietnam, the “Solve for Tomorrow” competition was first held in 2019. “Solve for Tomorrow” not only gives students the opportunity to apply STEM education knowledge related to the fields of science , technology, engineering and mathematics, but also nurtures the ability to access technology and create solutions to solve social problems.

“Solve for Tomorrow 2023” in Vietnam will be implemented from April 12 to November 11, divided into two groups: Group A for middle school students, and Group B for high school students with 3 rounds of competition. Students will apply STEM knowledge and design thinking to find and realize creative solutions to address existing social problems. In addition, the top 40 teams will also be guided by a team of senior professional advisors who are Samsung experts and employees, and have the opportunity to hone soft skills through special workshops within the framework of the program.

According to Mr. Choi Joo Ho, General Director of Samsung Vietnam Complex, this year's competition will be expanded in scale, thereby the number of students and teachers registering and the number of entries is expected to double compared to 2022. In particular, the total prize value of this year's competition has also increased to the highest level ever, worth nearly 8 billion VND. The school with the first prize winning team will be sponsored by Samsung with a functional classroom - STEM Lab worth more than 1 billion VND.

Sharing at the event, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Ngo Thi Minh affirmed that through practical experience activities in the competition, students not only have the opportunity to acquire more knowledge and soft skills necessary for self-development but also increase their confidence and initiative in the process of choosing and finding a suitable job for themselves.

In addition, 2023 marks the 15th anniversary of Samsung’s official major investment in Vietnam. “In the coming time, along with efforts to contribute to Vietnam’s economic development, Samsung will further promote activities to nurture technology talents - one of the important foundations for the country’s future development,” affirmed the General Director of Samsung Vietnam.
