VNHNO - Measures to promote innovation and the fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) in Vietnam was the theme of a discussion between more than 100 outstanding Vietnamese people and leaders from the Ministry of Science and Technology and major science and technology enterprises on August 20.
The youngsters attending the event at FPT Software Village (in Hanoi’s Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park) have been trained at the world's top universities and worked in the trendy sectors for Industry 4.0, such as IT, biotechnology, platform technology and automated manufacturing. They have been recognised for their excellent research achievements by prestigious training institutions, international organisations, enterprises and State agencies.
Chairman of FPT’s Board of Directors, Truong Gia Binh, said that Industry 4.0 is an unmissable opportunity for Vietnam to realise its digital aspirations. He expressed his wish that the 100 talents will join FPT and domestic enterprises to solve the big problems in the research, development and application of technology under Industry 4.0 in some key fields, such as e-government, intelligent medicine, transportation, finance and banking.

At the meeting, experts and scientists were presented with details of the technologies and typical products that tech giants like Viettel, VNPT and FPT are developing, while discussing potential cooperation in the research and development of technologies and products.
They identified the limitations of domestic enterprises, while suggesting that they focus on developing artificial intelligence, to self-study and make their own products suitable for the application in each region and locality.
The event is part of the Vietnam Innovation Network 2018 launched by the Ministry of Planning and Investment from August 18 to 24 in Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Ho Chi Minh City and Ba Ria - Vung Tau, aiming to gather and mobilise the best possible resources of gray matter, especially from Vietnamese experts, who are highly trained and working in foreign countries with advanced scientific facilities, to connect with the domestic operations to change the face of technological development in Vietnam./.
