The signing ceremony was not merely a formality, but an action-oriented commitment to directly resolve local bottlenecks through intellectual and technological resources.
The key cooperation areas agreed upon by both parties include:
* High-end workforce training: Focusing on sectors driving the economic pivot, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Integrated Circuits (IC)/Semiconductors, Logistics, and Smart Urban Governance.
* Science, technology & green economy: Researching climate change adaptation solutions, high-tech agriculture, and circular economy models aiming for net-zero emissions.
* Digital transformation & smart cities: Applying AI and Big Data in urban planning management, transport infrastructure, and operating digital twin city models.
Serving as a crucial link in the ecosystem, the VNUHCM Innovation Center (VIH) will act as a bridge, connecting VNUHCM's incubation centers and Software Technology Park with science and technology units in Can Tho. We will work together to create testing mechanisms that bring new technological solutions from the laboratory into production and commercialization, helping to improve the city's Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) and Digital Transformation Index (DTI).
"The substantive cooperation between both sides will create breakthrough products, making Can Tho the connecting hub of the region in the spirit of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW," emphasized Truong Canh Tuyen, Chairman of the Can Tho City People's Committee.
