Vietnamese Talent Awards 2020 expect Covid-19 solution products
The Vietnamese Talent Awards have reflected robust changes in the world and Vietnam with the competition this year expected to feature products that help deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.
"We’ve honoured many IT products that have helped solve burning issues many times before," Long said. "In the early 2000s, we had a railway signalling system which the public had really been waiting for. Next were digital transformation products including Fintech with a first prize in 2015, a program that applied 3D virtual reality technology to simulate the human body for teaching, learning and research activities in health sciences which won first prize in 2017, and voice-to-text software which won first prize in 2019."
“As you may see, Covid-19 is a good chance to apply technology to Vietnam’s logistics," he explained. "We’ve seen new startups in this group who introduced some solutions during the Covid-19 pandemic like Bluezone which is a quick tracking application for people at risk of Covid-19 infection, or websites which help people donate online."
"In this new period, it will be very important and meaningful for us to look for and honour new Make-in-Vietnam products for the Vietnamese Talent Awards 2020," he stressed.
The annual Vietnamese Talent Awards 2020 will be held on December 25 at the Hanoi International Convention Centre.
