Within the framework of the forum, PTIT and the National Agency for Technology Entrepreneurship and Commercialization Development (NATEC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National University of Singapore (NUS).
NUS is one of Asia’s leading universities in technology, innovation, and applied research, with a highly influential startup and technology transfer ecosystem in the region. The cooperation focuses on organizing academic activities, innovation programs, startup ecosystem connectivity, applied research, and technology transfer initiatives. The parties also aim to implement training programs for lecturers, students, and stakeholders within the innovation ecosystem.
In addition, PTIT signed a cooperation agreement with the Singapore Digital Chamber of Commerce (SGDCC) to promote research collaboration, technology transfer, and innovation ecosystem development between the two sides.
The cooperation focuses on developing the digital economy ecosystem, accelerating digital transformation, and training human resources in digital technologies, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and innovation. The two sides also discussed strengthening connections among enterprises, investment funds, and expanding collaboration opportunities between the technology ecosystems of Vietnam and Singapore.
During meetings and discussions, partners also shared experiences in developing university-linked innovation ecosystems, emphasizing the role of collaboration among universities, businesses, and research organizations in promoting applied research, technology transfer, and technology enterprise development.
