On the morning of September 4, 2026, the University of Information Technology, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City (UIT) and OneCAD Vietnam officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marking a new step toward practical collaboration in education, research, innovation, and technology transfer.The partnership brings together UIT’s strengths in information technology and OneCAD Vietnam’s expertise in Autodesk solutions, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and digital transformation for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Through this collaboration, the two sides aim to advance research, technology experimentation, and real-world applications that bridge digital technologies with practical challenges in the built environment.Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tan Tran Minh Khang delivers his remarks at the ceremony.At the ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tan Tran Minh Khang, President of UIT, and Mr. Doan Khac Tam, General Director of OneCAD Vietnam Co., Ltd., officially signed the MoU. The agreement lays the foundation for connecting UIT’s education and research capabilities with OneCAD Vietnam’s industry experience and technology ecosystem, thereby promoting research, developing high-quality human resources, and creating technology solutions for digital transformation.Mr. Doan Khac Tam shares his expectations for future collaboration.One of the key initiatives envisioned under the partnership is the BEI Lab – Bridging the Digital and Physical Built Environment. The Lab is expected to serve as a collaborative space where UIT faculty members and students can work alongside industry experts to conduct research, experiment with emerging technologies, and develop solutions with real-world applications.Students are also at the heart of this collaboration. Training programs, specialized seminars, research projects, and industry-based projects will provide them with more opportunities to engage directly with technology throughout their studies, gain a deeper understanding of real-world industry challenges, and explore interdisciplinary fields where information technology meets the built environment.With these concrete directions for collaboration, UIT and OneCAD Vietnam aim to foster an ecosystem connecting university, industry, research, and application – bringing knowledge and technology beyond the classroom and closer to the evolving needs of society.
