Held from July 17 to 19, VAIC 2026 was co‑organised by the National Innovation Centre (NIC), Meta Group, AI for Viet Nam, FPT Corporation, and Duy Tan University, with backing from international organisations, businesses, and major technology corporations.
This year’s event became a large‑scale arena for the AI community, attracting nearly 1,500 contestants from 340 teams nationwide. Over the intensive 48‑hour hackathon, teams developed solutions, built product prototypes, and finalised presentations under the guidance of leading mentors and experts from Viet Nam and abroad.
The products showcased a clear shift from research to application, focusing on solving specific challenges for businesses, localities, and the wider economy, while also demonstrating strong potential for real‑world deployment and market expansion.
