The Four Pillars of Critical Cooperation

The deal focused on four key areas:

1. High-quality human resource training and development PTIT shall advise and assist TDMU in developing and upgrading training programs in such spearhead sectors as Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, Multimedia Communications and Digital Journalism. At the same time, the Academy will transfer the experience of digital transformation application in teaching to the TDMU faculty and students. Conversely, TDMU opens the Binh Duong Enterprise and Industrial Zone ecosystem for PTIT students to have a high-quality practice and internship environment.
2. Scientific research and technology transfer The two schools are both working towards building a digital university as a model. PTIT is committed to working with TDMU to implement digital transformation solutions in university administration, online training and scientific research. The research results will be practically applied to production and business in the province and the southeastern region.
3. International Connections PTIT shares its rich network of international academic and corporate partners for TDMU to expand its student exchange program, faculty, and joint research projects. TDMU will be the “bridge” to PTIT’s deeper outreach to major corporations in the southern region.
4. Business partnering and entrepreneurship The two sides will jointly implement applied research projects, technology incubators and transfer research results directly to enterprises in Binh Duong.

PTIT is the country’s most pioneering and successful unit in higher education digitalization. We are eager to learn from and receive technology transfer from PTIT, especially in AI and information technology — the sectors where it is leading, “said TS. Doan Ngoc Xuan, TDMU headmistress said in the speech.

On PTIT’s side, Academic Director Dang Hoai Bac stated: “TDMU is a public university with great influence in the Southeast. PTIT is willing to share comprehensive digital transformation experiences in administration, teaching and research to jointly build TDMU into a representative digital university. More importantly, cooperation today must not only be concluded but must be quickly translated into concrete and practical actions that will serve local and national socio – economic development. “

Immediately after the signing ceremony, leaders of the two schools agreed to hold intensive working sessions soon to immediately implement cooperation contents in 2025.

The event marked a new step in connecting the country’s leading engineering – technology university with a strategic multidisciplinary university in the southern key economic region, promising to bring sustainable value to Vietnam’s higher education in the digital era.
