The conference was organised by NIC in coordination with AGIBOT, Great Education Technology Group and ECOLIV Technology within the framework of the National Innovation Festival 2026.
The event attracted more than 600 delegates, including leaders of central and local ministries, departments and agencies, representatives of hundreds of domestic and foreign enterprises, research institutes, and over 20 higher education and vocational colleges.
In his opening address, Hoang Trung Hieu, Deputy Director of NIC, emphasised that Embodied AI plays a pivotal role in addressing labour shortages, ensuring safety and enhancing growth quality in key sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, healthcare, services, as well as education and tourism.
NIC identifies Embodied AI and robotics as one of its core technological pillars, he said, adding that the centre is focusing on three key tasks: connecting and mobilising policy and technological resources; developing high-quality human resources; and simultaneously promoting testing and commercialisation, leveraging the infrastructure at the Hoa Lac High-Tech Zone to establish NIC as a leading demonstration and testing sandbox.
The conference was not only a high-level professional exchange forum but also marked a strategic advance, affirming Viet Nam’s determination to master core technologies, develop high-quality human resources and gradually emerge as a leading technological pillar in Southeast Asia in the digital era.
Discussions at the event focused on the strong shift of artificial intelligence from the digital space to the physical environment, opening a breakthrough in labour productivity.
Within the framework of the event, strategic cooperation agreements were signed between the Great Education Technology Group of Guangxi and three Vietnamese organisations: the University of Engineering and Technology at Viet Nam National University – Ha Noi; the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering at Ha Noi University of Industry; and the Viet Nam Association for Vocational Education and Training.
The agreements cover the development of standardised training programmes, joint laboratory systems, training teaching staff, organising practical sessions for students and implementing in-depth scientific research projects.
