This event marks an important step forward in the national strategy, when AI is ranked No. 1 in the strategic technologies that have a profound impact on the country's competitiveness and technological autonomy according to Decision No.1131/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister.

The alliance includes key members in the technology field, such as Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, MobiFone, VNPT, FPT, BKAV, and educational institutions, such as Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Ton Duc Thang University, and Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, aiming to develop large language models (LLMs) capable of processing Vietnamese accurately, naturally, and in accordance with Vietnamese culture.
