The seminar featured appearances by top experts in the semiconductor field globally such as Lee Young Hee, academician of the Korean Academy of Science and Technology (KAST), and Park Inkyu, head professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).

The professors shared insights into the latest technology trends, exchanged views on collaboration plans to support the enhancement of the professional capabilities of personnel, and collaborated on building high-quality human resource training courses for Vietnam's semiconductor industry.

"One of VinFuture Fund's important missions is to provide the world with a more comprehensive view of Vietnam as a nation striving to promote and prioritise technology development investment, thereby gradually affirming the country's position on the world map of science and technology. Through the InnovaConnect event series, VinFuture continues to strengthen the dissemination of exemplary models, technologies, and solutions, as well as cooperative relationships between leading Vietnamese universities, research institutes, and the world to jointly create useful technologies with positive impacts on humanity," said Le Thai Ha, VinFuture Fund's executive director.

Prior to InnovaConnect, VinFuture Fund organised 14 online scientific seminars, InnovaTalk, with the participation of thousands of outstanding experts, scientists, and researchers from around the world.

In addition to the significant value that the VinFuture awards bring, the activities supporting the development of science and technology by the VinFuture Fund over the past three years have brought new international stature and prestige to Vietnam's science and technology sector, while also contributing to opening up cooperation opportunities to develop projects in the future.
