VNU President Le Quan and LG Display Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Yoon Soo-Young exchanged the cooperation agreement documents between the two parties
At the working session, VNU President Le Quan expressed his gratitude to LG Display for its cooperation, support, and companionship over the past period. He stated that VNU has been entrusted by the Government with the mission of becoming a semiconductor research center to facilitate collaboration with foreign-invested enterprises in Vietnam. VNU has also been assigned to make significant investments in research on artificial intelligence and other high-tech fields. In the nation’s new era, VNU continuously innovates in all aspects, with a priority to training human resources in engineering and technology to meet the needs of businesses as well as the demands of the international labor market.
VNU President Le Quan expressed his belief that the cooperation between VNU and Korean educational institutions and corporations, including LG Display, over the past years has been a model for high-quality, demand-driven human resource training, jointly aiming at sustainable development, innovation, and contributing to the economic and scientific-technical development of both countries.

Mr. Yoon Soo-Young expressed his pleasure in welcoming VNU – the first Vietnamese higher education institution to visit and work at LG Display’s headquarters. He highly valued the quality of VNU graduates and noted that the corporation has an increasing demand for high-quality human resources, particularly those who are well-trained and equipped with strong skills and expertise. Affirming that Vietnam is a strategic market and VNU is an important academic partner, Mr. Yoon Soo-Young stated that LG Display is ready to invest in joint research projects, expand the scale of training cooperation, and create long-term career opportunities for VNU students.
The two sides also discussed several key cooperation orientations. The leadership of both parties elaborated on a proposal to establish a research and development (R&D) center at VNU’s Hoa Lac Campus to leverage its strengths in infrastructure, scientific personnel, and innovation-driven environment. Each year, LG Display and VNU will jointly select a number of outstanding students from such fields as electrical engineering, electronics, information technology, materials science, and semiconductors to participate in short-term training programs in Korea.

LG Display has already implemented a number of valuable scholarship programs for undergraduates from VNU’s member institutions. In the future, both sides plan to expand these opportunities to master’s and doctoral students, with the aim of promoting in-depth research and linking training with practical technological needs. LG Display and VNU will also collaborate on joint science and technology projects, in which VNU’s research groups, scientists, and students will carry out research topics commissioned by LG Display, ensuring high applicability and commercialization potential.
Based on the success of the Advanced Display Technology Training Program between LG Display and VNU University of Engineering and Technology, the two sides will explore the implementing of similar training courses at other VNU units, with the goal of delivering “demand-driven” human resource training, enabling graduates to be ready to participate in high-tech projects right after graduation.
