On May 24, 2025, at the launching ceremony of the Program "Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW: From vision to implementation of the State-School-Enterprise Cooperation Model" organized by Ho Chi Minh City National University (VNU-HCM), Dien Quang Group Joint Stock Company officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with VNU-HCM. The event marked an important step forward in the journey of accompanying the development of science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation.
“3 Houses” Convergence – Laying the Foundation for an Innovative Nation
The program is within the framework of implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW and Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW, aiming to turn Vietnam into a developed, high-income country by 2045. In particular, cooperation between the three pillars of "State - School - Enterprise" is identified as the core foundation for building an innovative nation, where enterprises play the role of a bridge between academic knowledge and production and business practices.
Mr. Tran Quoc Toan - General Director of Dien Quang Group Joint Stock Company - emphasized: "From a business perspective, we believe that innovation cannot be formed without connection. Businesses have markets, practical needs, and the ability to implement - but they need policies from the State and knowledge from the University to create a leap in technology and business models. For us, this is not simply cooperation, but an ecosystem - where businesses are not only technology users, but also research partners, co-creators and commercializers of knowledge. Dien Quang is ready to play the role of a bridge - between ideas and actions - to work with universities and management agencies to create products and solutions that "viable" in reality and bring real value to society".
At the ceremony, the two sides agreed to implement a common cooperation framework with 6 priority areas: (1) Developing high-quality human resources through training, internship, coaching and direct recruitment of students; (2) Promoting research and technology transfer, linking business needs with the academic and research capacity of VNU-HCM; (3) Applying digital transformation, developing digital platforms and technologies in business administration, production and service provision; (4) Innovation and startups, developing an ecosystem to support students and businesses in product and service innovation; (5) Sustainable development and social responsibility, enhancing the role of businesses in educational, environmental and community initiatives; (6) Developing policies and coordination mechanisms for the "3 Houses" to improve the effectiveness of implementing national development goals.
