Established in 1953, PTIT is a representative university in Vietnam's information and communication technology sector and the only university institution under the Ministry of Information and Communications of Vietnam. It has demonstrated outstanding achievements in fields such as information and communication, security, and electrical and electronic engineering, with over 15,000 students and more than 800 professors and researchers.
With this industry-academia collaboration, Naver welcomes its second partner in Vietnam following Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) last month. Naver stated, "As the global technological hegemony competition between the US and China intensifies, Naver's technology research network, connecting Asia and Europe centered on Korea, is becoming more robust."
Naver and PTIT plan to develop various industry-academia cooperation programs, including joint research projects, to cultivate excellent local technical talent. The industry-academia projects will involve professors and researchers from PTIT working in the relevant fields, as well as engineers responsible for each technical area from Naver and its affiliates.
