University of Information Technology and N2N AI Explore Strategic Collaboration to Advance Research and Technology Commercialization

Recently, University of Information Technology (UIT), Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM), welcomed representatives from N2N AI for a strategic meeting to discuss potential collaboration in research, innovation, and technology commercialization. The meeting opened up promising opportunities to connect UIT with international experts, industry partners, and global research initiatives, further enhancing the University's capabilities in education, research, and technology transfer.

Representing N2N AI was Mr. David Nguyen, Chief Executive Officer of N2N AI. The UIT delegation was led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Luu Thuy Ngan, Vice President of UIT, and included Dr. Nguyen Minh Son, Dean of the Faculty of Computer Engineering; Dr. Nguyen Tan Hoang Phuoc, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Information Science and Engineering; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Kim Hung, Head of the Department of Communications, Faculty of Computer Networks and Communications; together with UIT faculty members and researchers.

During the meeting, Mr. David Nguyen introduced N2N AI's collaborative model, which serves as a bridge connecting universities, industry partners, investors, research funding organizations, and Australian Government-supported innovation programs. The company places particular emphasis on semiconductor technologies and quantum computing, supporting the transformation of research outcomes into practical applications through technical consulting, technology development, strategic partnerships, funding opportunities, and commercialization services.

The two parties discussed potential collaboration in semiconductor chip design and fabrication, technology transfer, and intellectual property development. Both sides emphasized that research should be driven by real-world challenges, target identifiable users or customers, and possess strong commercialization potential beyond academic publication, with the capacity to scale into international markets.

The meeting also explored several emerging research areas with significant collaboration potential, including artificial intelligence for healthcare and mental health, secure medical data sharing and analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), smart sensing technologies, drones and wireless communications, and technologies supporting elderly care.

At the conclusion of the meeting, UIT and N2N AI agreed to continue discussions toward establishing concrete collaborative programs. The partnership will focus on strengthening university–industry engagement, expanding international research collaboration, creating more opportunities for students to participate in real-world projects, and accelerating the commercialization of research outcomes.
