With this vision, the VNUHCM Innovation Hub (VIH) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sunwah Innovations and Brinc during the Research to Market: Unlocking University–Industry Partnership for Innovation Commercialization event on 15 July 2026. The partnership establishes a collaborative framework that leverages the strengths, resources, and networks of all parties to advance innovation, entrepreneurship, technology transfer, and research commercialization.
Under the MoU, the three organizations will collaborate on initiatives that promote innovation and accelerate research commercialization by strengthening connections among universities, industry, investors, and innovation ecosystem partners. The partnership will also support the development of university spin-offs, foster open innovation initiatives, and strengthen the capabilities of researchers, startups, and innovators across the VNUHCM ecosystem.
A key highlight of the partnership is its role in expanding VNUHCM's presence within the global innovation ecosystem through Sunwah and Brinc's international networks. Building on this foundation, the partners will explore market access initiatives, Soft Landing programs, and cross-border collaboration opportunities, creating new pathways for VNUHCM's research, technologies, and startups to engage with international enterprises, investors, and strategic partners.
The signing of the MoU marks an important milestone in connecting VNUHCM's innovation ecosystem with global innovation networks. Through concrete collaborative initiatives in the coming years, VIH aims to strengthen research commercialization capabilities, create greater growth opportunities for technology startups and research teams, and foster stronger collaboration between academia, industry, and the market.
