The visit aimed to increase mutual information exchange about the projects which are being deployed by Pegasus in the city.  In addition, the visitors gave their recommendations about how to effectively implement the city’s IT projects which are being deployed jointly by Pegasus and Cloud Alliance.

At the reception, representatives from Pegasus briefed the city leader on a 20 ha Pegasus university project in Ngu Hanh Son District's Hoa Quy Ward, including the construction of a sports area, a student hall, and a condo-hotel facility which will allow the students to practise their skills.  The university is aiming to enrol over 10,000 students from both home and abroad.

Meanwhile, Cloud Alliance representatives suggested some effective measures to help Da Nang build ‘a smarter city’.  Included were organising events to develop the city’s IT human resources and establishing an IT Start-up Centre at the Pegasus International College.  In addition, they pledged to provide the city’s education sector with copyright IT software at preferential prices.

Mr Tan vowed that his company would help the city develop its IT human resources by organising high-quality training courses in the city at reasonable prices.  He remarked that the courses will focus on enhancing the professional skills  of IT university students and government officials and employees in order to meet the increasing recruitment demands from the local IT sector.

In reply, Vice Chairman Minh highly applauded the projects which have been carried out by Pegasus in the city, especially the effective operation of the 5.1 ha Pegasus International College.  The city leader pledged that the city authorities would create very favourable conditions for Pegasus to conduct research into implementing other suitable projects in the city.
