Bridging Practice – From Education to Global Commercialization of Research
One of the standout models introduced by CT Group is the E2B (Education to Business) division. This serves as a bridge between academic research ideas and market commercialization potential, providing students and lecturers with opportunities to turn academic initiatives into practical market solutions. CT Group has established international partnerships with many prestigious educational institutions. Additionally, CT Group is committed to supporting visas, providing accommodation, and offering services for international students coming for internships or academic exchange programs. The U.S. Consulate General highly appreciated CT Group’s transformative approach in engaging younger generations, affirming that “15 years ago, interns were still shy, but today’s youth are making remarkable contributions through creativity and social impact.”
High-Tech and Smart Transportation – Strategic Cooperation Opportunities
Alongside education, representatives of CT Group’s departments also presented major high-tech projects in fields such as semiconductors, drones, artificial intelligence, and more. These are pursued in parallel with initiatives in smart transportation and high-tech infrastructure. A highlight among these is the proposed high-speed rail project connecting Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta, with a projected total investment of nearly USD 10 billion. CT Group is currently finalizing designs, preparing investment proposals, and actively seeking international partners.
Strategic Connectivity in the New Era
Concluding the meeting, both parties affirmed the vast potential for collaboration, spanning from high-quality human resource training and technology transfer to infrastructure development and the promotion of cultural and educational exchange. The U.S. Consul General recognized CT Group as a pioneering partner with a long-term vision and strong execution capabilities, ready to accompany efforts to deepen U.S.–Vietnam relations in the coming decades.
