In the context of digital transformation becoming an inevitable trend of the era, the connection between universities, businesses, and technology organizations plays a crucial role in training high-quality human resources that can adapt to rapid technological advancements. In line with this spirit, the Faculty of Information Technology (IT) at Nguyen Tat Thanh University (NTTU) actively participated in iTECH EXPO 2025, a nationally scaled technology exhibition held from July 9 to 11, 2025, at Sky Expo – Quang Trung Software City, District 12, Ho Chi Minh City.

Organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Computer Association (HCA) in collaboration with strategic partners, iTECH EXPO 2025 brought together hundreds of tech enterprises, startups, leading experts, and universities across Vietnam. With a focus on “advanced technology – digital transformation – innovation,” the exhibition served as a vital bridge between academia, industry, investors, and the tech community. It was not only a showcase of cutting-edge products and solutions but also an open forum for sharing trends, connecting knowledge, and driving innovation.

Integration, Innovation, and Practice-Oriented Training

Participation in iTECH EXPO 2025 aligns with the Faculty of IT’s strategic orientation toward international integration, innovation, and practice-based education. The primary goal is to create opportunities for both lecturers and students to engage with the latest technological trends, thereby enhancing their professional competencies, soft skills, and understanding of the current tech labor market.

The exhibition also served as a platform for the Faculty to present its own student- and faculty-led products, research projects, and innovative solutions—offering tangible proof of the training quality, dynamism, and creative spirit that the Faculty consistently nurtures.Through networking activities, booth exhibitions, panel discussions, and technology showcases, the Faculty of Information Technology aims to strengthen NTTU’s brand in the tech community, while seeking further collaboration opportunities with businesses and organizations to enhance training quality and career prospects for its students.
