The information was released at the Thursday main discussion session of the Global Young Vietnamese Intellectual Forum 2018, the first of its kind in Viet Nam, which took place in Da Nang on 28 and 29 November. The event aimed to look to capitalise on the strength of the young intelligentsia in the Industry 4.0 era.

During the discussion session, the participants presented their opinions and recommendations on the 3 main topics. They are the promotion of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) to build high-quality human resources in Industry 4.0, the application of Industry 4.0 technologies in environmental protection and climate change response, and the enhancement of innovation in production and business activities.

It was noticeable that the 2-day forum rounded off with the establishment of its working mechanism, and the debut of a global network of young Vietnamese intellectuals.

Addressing the event, First Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee Le Quoc Phong remarked that, following the great success of this year’s forum, the country is expected to obtain future remarkable scientific achievements, hereby marking the starting point for the young Vietnamese intelligentsia’s journey to make greater devotion towards their homeland.

Mr Phong also pledged that the most possible favourable conditions would be created to ensure the effective performance of the global network of young Vietnamese intellectuals in the coming time, and facilitate them to access the country’s future development orientations as well.

The annual forum aims at offering the best chance for young intellectuals to discuss visions, missions, and roles for national construction and development, and Viet Nam’s international integration, and an opportunity to suggest mechanisms for the national government to attain its development goals.
