On the afternoon of September 9, CT Group in collaboration with Can Tho University organized a scientific conference “National Digital Twin – Breakthrough Technological for Smart Agriculture in the Mekong Delta”.
Speaking at the conference, Mr. Huynh Thanh Dat – Deputy Head of the Central Commissions for Publicity and Education, and Mass Mobilization – said that the event was held in a rather special context. For Can Tho University, it is the leading center for education and scientific research in the Mekong Delta, while CT Group is a diversified economic conglomerate that has established its position not only domestically but also in international markets.
The conference contributed to concretizing several important resolutions. Specifically Resolution No. 57 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science and technology, innovation, and national digital transformation. The resolution emphasizes that the strong development of digital data infrastructure and self-reliance in strategic technologies are considered key drivers for the rapid development of modern productive forces.
Presenting at the conference, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Binh – Director of the DT15 Project – said that the National Digital Twin has 36 functions for smart agriculture, such as simulating and forecasting crop seasons and yields, early pest detection, and smart agricultural traceability, helping reduce input costs and increase incomes for farmers.
On this occasion, CT Group and Can Tho University signed several strategic cooperation agreements : The establishment of an Agricultural UAV-Robot Center and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle pilot training school (UAV), cooperation in advanced semiconductor packaging training.
In addition, the two sides agreed to collaborate on developing carbon credits for the Mekong Delta, focusing on sustainable shrimp farming, sustainable rice cultivation, public lighting transformation, and a project on high-quality human resource development for the Mekong Delta in science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation using AI.
The Agricultural UAV-Robot Center will focus on researching and deploying technologies directly applied to agriculture, from planting, care, and harvesting to carbon credit assessment.
