The event took place from October 28 to November 1, 2025, as part of the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC 2025) Forum.
First launched in 2011, GITC is an annual international competition for young people with disabilities. It aims to promote digital skills, creativity, and social inclusion through information technology. This year’s competition attracted around 1,700 participants from 20 countries.
The Vietnamese team achieved outstanding results, bringing home three prizes: Le Thi Uyen Nhi won the Super Challenge Award and the Excellent e-Combination Award, while the Nghi Luc Song – GITC Viet Nam Team received the Contribution Award.
This achievement not only reflects the capability and determination of Vietnamese youth with disabilities but also highlights the image of a dynamic, creative, and resilient Viet Nam on the international stage.
Ngo Thi Huyen Minh, General Director of Nghi Luc Song Joint Stock Company, a pioneering social enterprise providing free vocational training and employment support for people with disabilities, remarked: “For us, GITC is not just a competition; it is a bridge that fosters friendship among nations, where we grow together towards the future. With the mission ‘No one left behind’, Nghi Luc Song has helped thousands of people with disabilities across the country gain access to education, employment, and self-affirmation, contributing to a more inclusive and humane digital society.”
It was also announced that Viet Nam will host the GITC 2026. Speaking about this honour, Ngo Thi Huyen Minh said: “We are immensely proud that Viet Nam has been selected as the host country for GITC 2026. This is a great opportunity for us to continue spreading the spirit of resilience, technology, and inclusion. We will do our utmost to deliver a truly successful and memorable GITC 2026 — one that will make international friends proud and fill Viet Nam with pride.”
