After overcoming 25 teams in the intense Semi-final round, in the Implementation round of the 2024 Young Innovation Competition, the teams excelled and won funding of 20 million VND to refine their products, turning creative scientific ideas into promising practical applications. In the fierce competition against teams from top universities such as Hanoi University of Science and Technology, known for its artificial intelligence projects and machinery design, the Green Choice team demonstrated resilience and breakthrough thinking, successfully reaching the Top 5 best teams and winning the Consolation Award. At the same time, the Medilea team, with their project developing antibacterial products from Banyan leaves, also made a strong impression by overcoming many competitors to confirm the scientific value and sustainability of their product.
Under the guidance of Mr. Tran Thanh (Research and Development Institute of Advanced Agrobiology ) and Ms. Vu Nhat Phuong (Faculty of Business Administration), the Green Choice team has developed recycled products from durian peel, combining life sciences and biotechnology to bring sustainable value to the agricultural industry. The Green Choice project continues its mission of turning agricultural waste into valuable, sustainable products. With a foundation in life sciences and biotechnology, the team has successfully applied proprietary microbial formulations to transform durian peel – a type of waste that is difficult to decompose – into organic substrates and biological products, while also developing premium products like freeze-dried durian. This innovation not only helps protect the environment but also promotes sustainable agriculture and a circular economy.
