Help bring ideas to life

After 13 consecutive years of Tan Hiep Phat accompanying the Golden Globe Awards, at the 2024 Awards Ceremony, the company's Number Energy Drink brand announced an additional sponsorship of 2 billion VND this year with the desire to accompany and support young scientific talents to ignite their passion, creativity, and develop science and technology to contribute to the country and serve society.

Specifically, Number 1 brand will select a number of outstanding projects from young talents who won the Golden Globe this year to support in-depth research and put into practical application.

Mr. Nguyen Thien Tu - Director of the Center for Science, Technology and Young Talent Development - said that for a young talent to develop, there must be the participation and support of the whole society, from the political system to organizations, businesses and encouragement from the community.

“This money will be invested in the scientific works and products of young talents in the field of science and technology. You have good works and good ideas, but you need resources to turn these ideas into reality and apply them to life. This is a new, very practical and effective direction to support young talents, help them develop themselves and contribute to the community,” Mr. Tu commented.

The need to find social resources to accompany and support scientific research and develop inventions for widespread application throughout society is a practical need of all young scientific talents.

Dr. Nguyen Van Son, Lecturer of the Faculty of Information Technology, University of Technology, VNU Hanoi, winner of the 2024 Golden Globe Award, said that the participation of businesses like Tan Hiep Phat in the Golden Globe Award is a meaningful contribution to researchers, especially young researchers from abroad.

It helps us shape our research direction and position in the research community. It both encourages and contributes to the overall development of Vietnamese science and technology,” said Dr. Nguyen Van Son.
