Launched in 2021, the Viettel Digital Talent program in 2024 has entered its 4th explosive season with more than 3,000 applications, 1.5 times more than in 2023.

This year, the program has received more than 300 outstanding third and fourth year students, including 240 applications with national and international awards. After 3 months of intensive training, 179 students have qualified for round 2, accessing data and technology research topics at 11 units/companies.

These research topics all originate from practical problems in the production and business process, approved and directly proposed by the board of directors of the units.

Not only recording an outstanding number of applications, season 4 of Viettel Digital Talent also recorded 126 technology initiatives in 9 fields, the largest number of technology initiatives compared to previous seasons. Of which, many initiatives have been developed into products, with initial testing results.

With the aim of fully exploiting the creative potential of young students, each technological initiative when built must meet a set of clear criteria such as novelty, economic efficiency, high applicability and completion. These technological initiatives are evaluated through 3 rounds from the unit level, the general company, to the group level.
