Speaking at the event, Mr. Choi Joo Ho - General Director of Samsung Vietnam shared: "Talent is the most important key in the development of each country. Therefore, training future talents is an urgent problem for all countries in the world. Especially for Vietnam, a country that is striving to become a technologically developed country, this is an extremely important problem.

Not only stopping at economic contributions, Samsung is also making efforts to improve Vietnam's basic competitiveness. Samsung will strive to become "the enterprise that makes the most effort to train technology talents in Vietnam", contributing to the training of future technology talents through programs such as STEM Membership, and becoming "the enterprise that always accompanies Vietnam".

Also at the event, Mr. Vu Quoc Huy - Director of the National Innovation Center said: "NIC is honored to become one of the important partners of Samsung Vietnam in training technology talents, leading the national innovation process in the future. Knowing that Samsung STEM Membership is the first program launched in Vietnam, then expanded to a number of other countries, we hope that the Program in particular will achieve good results, and will join hands with Vietnam to nurture more young talents to contribute to the world economy."

Currently, Samsung is allocating to Vietnam the highest budget for corporate social responsibility activities among the countries in which the group invests. With the vision of "Together for Tomorrow! Enabling People", Samsung is focusing on implementing activities to nurture the future generation of young people through many other programs such as: Solve for Tomorrow (SFT) Science and Technology Innovation Competition to encourage children to apply STEM education knowledge related to the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics to overcome existing social problems.; Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) technology talent development project to orient education for the young generation, providing IT knowledge from basic to advanced to help them have a solid technology foundation, thereby being more confident in becoming the key generation of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 in the future.
