Immediately after that, the UD directed the University of Economics to propose the implementation of a project to attract experts and human resources for the Regional Financial Center and the Free Trade Zone in Da Nang. According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Van Huy, the Rector of the University of Economics, the development of a project to attract and train human resources to serve the Regional Financial Centin Da Nang is very urgent in the context that the city has a great opportunity to develop into a financial hub thanks to its strategic location and economic development potential.

The goal is to form a quality human resource ecosystem, in which attracting international talent, developing domestic human resources, providing specialized training according to international standards and improving the management and operation capacity of the financial centre are important pillars. The project aims to build a training system according to international standards in the direction of integration and updating advanced knowledge.
