One of the program's highlights is its focus on strengthening cooperation between the State, universities, and businesses to create a synchronized ecosystem for innovation. Accordingly, state management agencies play a role in developing mechanisms and policies to support innovation; universities are the creators of knowledge, technology, and research results; and businesses play the role of connecting markets, investing, and bringing scientific products into practice. The close collaboration between these three parties contributes to improving the efficiency of technology transfer, creating tangible socio-economic value, and affirming the role of Hanoi University of Civil Engineering in the national innovation ecosystem.

Dr. Le Ngoc Lam – Director of the Institute for Training and Development of Intellectual Property – presented a专题 (special topic) on “Overview of Intellectual Property Rights”.
The training program provides participants with knowledge of legal regulations, procedures for establishing intellectual property rights, and skills in registering, managing, exploiting, and commercializing intellectual property assets.
