In the university-enterprise table of Bach Khoa Innovation (BKI), the teams will solve practical problems at businesses.

This year, the table has the participation of two enterprises: Malaya Glass Vietnam Company (O-IBJC) and Indefol Solar Joint Stock Company.

For O-IBJC, the company wants to find unique ideas and solutions to help improve the efficiency of recycled glass collection in Vietnam.

For Indefol Solar, the challenge for the teams was to produce green hydrogen on a route with optimal cost.

The appearance of the UI board brings challenges and also creates opportunities for teams to grasp practical issues related to technical and business solutions, while helping to strengthen the connection between schools and businesses.

As for traditional boards, Bach Khoa Innovation 2025 is not limited to the scope of ideas, spanning across fields from digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), healthcare, environmental engineering, chemistry to mechatronics and many more.

Teams' projects will be evaluated based on innovation, prototype, marketability, team and mentorship, and presentation skills.

Throughout the competition, teams not only compete but also receive in-depth training in innovative startups through short courses, 1:1 mentoring programs from experts, use of Innovation FabLab to develop prototype products, and experiential field trips.

Bach Khoa Innovation 2025 also upgraded the prize structure with a total value of more than 600 million VND, not only stopping at financial rewards but also including a project development support package after the competition.

In addition, Bach Khoa Innovation also supports travel expenses for foreign teams (up to 500 USD for 2 people/team) and teams from Da Nang to the northern provinces and cities (up to 5 million for 2 people/team).
