Vietnam

As part of our vision to be a world-leading university of technology, UTS continues to establish agile research and technology partnerships in Vietnam; one of the world’s most dynamic economies.

PhD training and research exchange underpin our growing presence as we build on our collaborations with leading universities, national key laboratories, hi-tech parks, and government ministries, driving excellence and innovation in partnerships to co-create value and impact. Key areas of collaboration have been identified as Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, smart city, smart farming, and cybersecurity.

In both Vietnam and Sydney, UTS Engineering and IT experts in emerging areas deliver courses and workshops to government ministers, academics, engineers, researchers, and major industry representatives such as FPT Corporation; the largest information technology service company in Vietnam.

Current research projects

As we increase the scale, quality and impact of research, UTS is fostering the exchange of people and ideas – supporting Australia’s commitment to develop mutually beneficial scientific and technological collaboration with Vietnam, and to explore bilateral cooperation in information and communication.

Environmental research is the basis of a UTS partnership with Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST), including analysis and monitoring of the Vietnamese coastal environment and a water filtration system for the Red River Delta. The arsenic elimination project won an Australian Government-Google Technology against Poverty Prize for removing arsenic and delivering safe and clean drinking water.

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) has partnered with Le Quy Don Technical University (LQDTU), the Vietnam National Committee for Search and Rescue (VINASARCOM), Australia’s Ripper Corp, Ho Chi Minh University of Technology to develop, transfer and deploy real-time remote sensing and aerial surveillance technology using UAV and AI-empowered software, in an effort to aid with Search and Rescue (SAR) missions in Vietnam.

The Faculty of Engineering and IT is proud to lead the DFAT-funded project UTS Rapido Vietnam: Industry 4.0 for sustainable water systems. The project leverages strengths in data engineering and water technology in collaboration with partners in Vietnam, with the overarching aim of establishing a sustainable model of technology transfer for Vietnam.

UTS and partners in Vietnam (e.g., Vietnam MoST office in Sydney, Saigon-Innovation-Hub, VNU Ho Chi Minh University of Technology) aim to connect Australia’s small/medium enterprises (SMEs) with opportunities in Vietnam’s innovative ecosystem in emerging areas including industry 4.0, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), environment engineering, and big data. The project will promote bilateral trade and allow industry partners to strengthen relationships that will support collaboration beyond the project’s lifespan.

Partnerships in Vietnam

UTS’ partnership model represents bilateral engagement with Vietnam – an emerging powerhouse of industry and technology. We are contributing to the development and employment of a highly-skilled workforce in Vietnam as we help identify and support the next generation of researchers for academia and for industry.
