The event was jointly sponsored by the Australian Embassy in Vietnam, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Economics University (NEU), as part of the Australian Embassy’s Skills and Innovation Week.  
Joanna Wood, Education Counsellor of the Australian Embassy, said the two sides need to change their cooperation method and focus on enhancing links between their governments, universities, research institutes, and innovation centres to boost development in each country. The Australian embassy has cooperated with the Canberra Innovation Network (CBRIN) to share with Vietnam a successful model in this area.
