Piaggio Vietnam and the National Economics University marked their partnership on April 23, with a shared vision to cultivate a new generation of forward-thinking young leaders.

With its long-standing presence in Vietnam, Piaggio Vietnam, part of global mobility leader Piaggio Group, is continuing to demonstrate its commitment to empower younger generations through initiatives that bridge education with real-world experience.

The collaboration with the National Economics University (NEU) will open opportunities for students to engage in the corporate environment, and form part of Piaggio Vietnam's wider journey in nurturing young talent, a spirit previously reflected in notable programmes such as Young Lions.

The MoU signing ceremony was attended by Gianluca Fiume, president of Piaggio Asia-Pacific and general director of Piaggio Vietnam, and Pham Hong Chuong, president of NEU.

By bridging the corporate world with academia, Piaggio is not only seeking high-quality talent, but also affirming its commitment to accompany the younger generation on their professional journeys, while sparking innovation and encouraging global thinking.

The event also kicked off a series of engagement activities between the Piaggio brand and NEU students, starting with a dedicated space on campus that showcases Italian products and culture.
