The core of the discussions centered on the ambitious development of joint research and pilot projects, specifically focusing on the cutting-edge fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Twin technologies. Both parties expressed a deep commitment to moving beyond theoretical frameworks to implement real-world applications. By integrating CUE Labs’ global expertise with PTIT’s robust technical infrastructure, these projects aim to create innovative solutions for smart city management and telecommunications optimization, ensuring that both Vietnam and its partners remain at the forefront of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Recognizing that human capital is the driver of all technological progress, the meeting also prioritized the creation of capacity-building programs. These initiatives are designed to foster a vibrant talent pipeline linking Vietnam with academic and industrial partners across Latin America. Through student exchange programs, joint workshops, and shared digital curricula, PTIT and CUE Labs aim to equip the next generation of engineers with the global perspectives and technical skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. This collaboration is not just about sharing tools; it is about building a community of experts who can collaborate across borders.
