The seminar attracted around 75 in-person participants and nearly 20 online attendees, including representatives from Vietnamese ministries, government agencies, and universities, as well as scientists, experts, entrepreneurs, and members of the Vietnamese intellectual community in Poland and several other European countries.
In his opening remarks, Vietnamese Ambassador to Poland Ha Hoang Hai emphasised that the seminar provided an important platform for connecting and mobilising the expertise of overseas Vietnamese intellectuals, particularly at a time when science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation are playing increasingly pivotal roles in enhancing the country's competitiveness and ensuring sustainable development.
Ambassador Ha Hoang Hai welcomed the active participation of scientists, experts, and entrepreneurs, particularly young researchers and start-up founders, describing it as a reflection of the considerable potential of the Vietnamese intellectual community in Poland in both fundamental and applied research.
He expressed confidence that Vietnamese intellectuals in Poland would continue to demonstrate their sense of responsibility by leveraging their expertise, professional experience, and extensive international networks to make increasingly meaningful contributions to their homeland.
The ambassador also affirmed that the Embassy of Viet Nam in Poland, together with the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese, would continue to serve as a bridge connecting the Vietnamese intellectual community in Poland with domestic ministries, local authorities, and businesses.
Addressing the seminar, Nguyen Trung Kien, Chairman of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese, highlighted the immense intellectual potential of overseas Vietnamese communities, including Vietnamese experts and scientists in Poland. He stressed that this valuable resource will serve as a key driving force in helping the country enter a new era of development.
During the seminar, participants shared their experiences in building collaborative networks for research, education, and technology transfer between scientific and educational institutions in Viet Nam, Poland, and other European countries.
They also introduced practical initiatives developed by Vietnamese start-ups in Poland in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), while discussing the growing application of AI and advanced technologies to enhance the competitiveness of Vietnamese businesses operating in Poland.
Representatives of the overseas Vietnamese community also put forward several practical recommendations to strengthen research collaboration, technology transfer, and scientific cooperation between Viet Nam and Poland in the years ahead.
The seminar concluded successfully, reinforcing the close ties and collaboration between Vietnamese intellectuals and entrepreneurs in Poland and their counterparts at home.
It also served as a practical initiative by the Embassy of Viet Nam in Poland to implement the Party and state's policies on advancing science and technology while harnessing the resources of overseas Vietnamese in support of national development.
