During our visit, we had the opportunity to explore Vietnam’s rapidly growing tech industry by visiting local tech companies and research centres, including VNG Corporation. Our discussions with industry experts sparked innovative ideas and underscored the importance of international partnerships in technology. VNG, a Vietnamese technology company established in 2004, specializes in digital content, online entertainment, social networking, and e-commerce. Its main focus areas include online games, platforms, digital payments, and cloud services. VNG is known for developing products such as Zalo, ZaloPay, Zing MP3, and 123phim. As our visit came to an end, we reflected on the valuable experiences and new connections we made during our time at HCMUT.
