The winners were the ViettelStudy online learning social network and Hocmai.vn - an online learning platform owned and operated by HOCMAI Education Inc.

ViettelStudy is a 3-in-1 platform that includes a social network for user identification, a training management system and e-commerce to help educators connect and collaborate with students and their parents.

Hocmai.vn is a personalised and customised online learning platform with full learning support facilities. Based on the ability of students, the network makes suggestions for appropriate learning pathways.

Vietnam’s leading ICT firms such as Viettel, VNPT, FPT, Misa and HOCMAI registered to compete in 16 categories at AICTA 2019 – the highest number since the award started.

Vietnam has won prizes at the awards in all categories in the previous years. Notably, in 2018, the Da Nang-based Duy Tan University won a silver prize in the R&D category.

The AICTA, an initiative approved at the ASEAN Telecommunications and IT Ministers’ Meeting in 2012, aims to seek and honour creative ICT products and solutions that can be applied in reality, helping promote technological application and enhance trade relations among ASEAN countries.
