Continuing the “Training Program on Innovation Implementation Competencies – Cohort 1 - 2026”, the second working day organized by VNU-HCM Innovation Hub focused on research commercialisation, multi-stakeholder collaboration mechanisms, and international experiences in operating innovation ecosystems.
With the participation of international experts Stuart Allinson and Duc Do, the program delivered practical insights into the journey of bringing research outcomes closer to the market: from intellectual property management and risk governance to collaboration mechanisms and resource-sharing models among universities, enterprises, and ecosystem stakeholders.
Through international models and case studies from Australia and Singapore, the sessions introduced various approaches to building flexible, interdisciplinary innovation governance mechanisms aligned with industry demands and co-development goals. Discussions also highlighted the role of intellectual property frameworks, research commercialisation capabilities, and enabling conditions for university spin-offs.
The program further shared international experiences in implementing innovation support initiatives and R&D funding allocation mechanisms based on competitiveness, transparency, and practical application outcomes, offering valuable references for innovation activities in the current context.
Through group discussion sessions, participants collaboratively developed pilot collaboration models across several fields, with a focus on strengthening connections between research, industry, and market development needs.
The second working day continued to provide practical perspectives on the evolving role of universities within modern innovation ecosystems - where research goes beyond academic knowledge to increasingly drive application, technology transfer, and value creation for communities, businesses, and society.
