The two-day event created a multi-dimensional dialogue platform where young intellectuals shared ideas and jointly outlined new directions in key areas such as science and technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, education, health care, smart agriculture, climate change, and digital transformation.
Nguyen Tuong Lam, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and President of the Vietnam Youth Federation said across four discussion sessions, delegates not only demonstrated the academic depth of Vietnam’s young intellectuals, but also promoted the spirit of commitment and readiness to take on the country’s most pressing challenges.
“The forum is just the starting point,” he said. “What we’re striving for is a structure broad enough to harness the intellectual capital of Vietnamese around the world and a mechanism deep enough to absorb policy proposals, technological initiatives, and innovative models from young people with talent, integrity, and ambition.”
Notable real-world projects were presented at the forum, including a drone- and bio-based model to support farmers; AI-powered healthcare solutions; green startups aimed at sustainable development; a digital transformation platform for businesses and communities; and a grassroots AI education initiative.
In addition, many flagship initiatives are already underway, including an AI literacy program targeting 2 million Vietnamese youths; the development of a national program to identify and nurture AI talent; and the formation of an expert network to support the North–South high-speed railway project.
The forum opened up broad avenues for multi-dimensional collaboration, laying the groundwork for the 2025-2030 phase with a long-term vision toward 2045, positioning intellectuals not just as a resource, but as a driving force in shaping the nation’s future.
On this occasion, the Executive Board of the Global Network of Young Vietnamese Intellectuals for the 2025-2027 term debuted.
The annual forum was launched in 2018 by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union.
