After 5 years of implementing the cooperation program, the provincial People's Committee and VNU-HCM have effectively implemented 6 important contents of developing high-quality human resources, building and developing gifted high schools, supporting universities to cooperate with businesses, Phu An bamboo ecological museum, and developing facilities and improving the efficiency of scientific research and technology transfer activities to implement the Smart City Project.

In the coming time, Becamex IDC and members of VNU-HCM will promote human resource development to serve the needs of industrial development and attract high-quality human resources to the province, especially in the fields of logistics, 4.0 technologies, automation, start-ups, innovation, precision mechanical technology etc.

Concluding the conference, Mr. Vo Van Minh, affirmed that Binh Duong always wishes to build and connect many key traffic routes to bring VNU-HCM closer to the province. In the coming time, there should be a cooperation mechanism and linkage model based on the actual needs of the province. The two sides would cooperated in the effective implementation of key scientific research and technological development programs of the province. VNU-HCM supports Binh Duong in implementing projects in order to realize the Smart City Project and the province's development goals such as research on Artificial Intelligence, Agricultural Research Program and high-tech food.
