The honored works are the crystallization of pioneering thinking, of persistent efforts to overcome challenges, and of the aspiration to use science to serve life.

With the message "Together we grow - Together we prosper", the VinFuture Awards 2025 will be told in the language of contemporary art, combined with Vietnamese identity. The carefully prepared performances will recreate VinFuture's 5-year journey: From the origin of aspiration to global impact.

In addition to the science stars, the stage also featured the appearance of Alicia Keys - a global music icon. Duc Phuc - the champion of Intervision 2025, participated in the event for the first time and brought a performance combining the beauty of national culture with modern music, depicting a Vietnam rich in identity and growing strongly on the integration journey.

Before the award ceremony, the "Science for Life" seminar, the "Dialogue to Explore the Future" series at 10 major universities and the "Toa V - Science Touchpoint" Exhibition brought Hanoi into rare intellectual festivals.

The stories that outstanding scientists bring to VinFuture 2025, about AI, medicine, agriculture, new technology... not only expand knowledge but also evoke many thoughts about the development directions of humanity in the next decade.

Founded in 2020 with the mission of promoting science to serve humanity, after only 5 years, VinFuture has become a prestigious destination for the world's scientific community, gathering many Nobel laureates and other prestigious awards, while connecting researchers to find answers to the most urgent questions of the time.

Notably, after the first 4 seasons, 4 groups of scientists, after being honored on the VinFuture stage, continued to be named at the Nobel Prize. This is considered a testament to the outstanding vision of the first international award founded by Vietnamese people, and at the same time, reflects the worthy recognition for research that has a profound impact on humanity.
