Center for Innovation and Technology Transfer, Faculty of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, and Faculty of Information Technology, TDTU Meet and Work with CT Innovation Hub 4.0
On November 10, 2025, the Center for Innovation and Technology Transfer (CITT), in coordination with the Faculty of Electrical & Electronics Engineering and the Faculty of Information Technology, Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU), held a meeting and working session with the CT Innovation Hub 4.0 (CTI 4.0) - a unit directly under the CT Group, operating entirely on a combined platform of Web3, Blockchain, and AI. The working session took place in a cohesive and effective atmosphere, demonstrating a strong spirit of cooperation and commitment to promoting training activities, technology transfer, and innovative development within the university environment linked with businesses.
Representing CTI 4.0, Mr. Tran Hoai Thien provided an overview of the center’s mission and development orientation. CTI 4.0 is built on a “9+1” operating model, where the nine key technology fields include: Semiconductor; Artificial Intelligence; Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Drones); Green Digital Currency; Carbon Credit Exchange; Zero-Emission Modular Homes; Electric Cars - Electric Trains; Quantum Computing; New Energy; and Gene and Cell Technology. All are connected to a smart central coordination platform, which helps automate processes, manage, and operate the startup ecosystem transparently and efficiently.
Mr. Thien shared that CTI 4.0 aims to become a global innovation hub, while simultaneously building a “virtual super university” on innovation, fostering pioneering technology ideas from AI, Blockchain, Web3 to big data, creating an environment for knowledge incubation, model sharing, and promoting technology transfer.
On TDTU's side, Dr. Duong Thi Thuy Van - Director of the Center for Innovation and Technology Transfer, discussed the center's key activities and shared the resources the university is developing. TDTU possesses a team of high-quality, highly qualified lecturers and experts, who continuously support applied research programs, innovative human resource development, as well as assistance for technology startups during the incubation and market expansion phases.
In addition, Dr. Duong Thi Thuy Van introduced the outstanding applied research strengths of TDTU's faculties. The Faculty of Pharmacy focuses on developing cosmetics, functional foods, and high commercial value herbal extracts; the Faculty of Industrial Fine Arts is creative with design collections, applying AI to reconstruct cultural relics, etc. The university and its faculties also actively promote applied research and entrepreneurship for students through the “TDTU Student Startup Idea Search Contest 2025-2026”, the “DATASTORM” Contest for Vietnamese and international students of the Faculty of Information Technology, and more. All contribute to creating a dynamic and creative academic environment.
In the discussion segment, representatives from all sides exchanged strategic cooperation directions for the coming time, focusing on coordinating the organization of idea incubation programs and technology startup competitions for students, promoting specialized training activities and seminars on innovation experience sharing, and expanding opportunities for TDTU students to visit and gain practical experience at CTI 4.0. The parties also plan to proceed with signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as a basis for implementing specific programs in the next phase.
The working session concluded successfully, opening up many cooperation opportunities between CTI 4.0 and CITT, the Faculty of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, and the Faculty of Information Technology. All parties expect this connection to bring practical and effective programs, contributing to fostering innovation and creating tangible value for students, society, and the business community.
