In December 2020, RMIT University (Australia) collaborated with Vietnam's Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), the strategic leader of Industry 4.0 development in Vietnam, to co-organise the Inaugural Strategy Roundtable on Collaboration for Industry 4.0 (article). The event also explored ways to expand cooperation between global companies, governments and industries to accelerate industrial digitalisation of manufacturing industry and related supply chains in Vietnam.
As a leading international university in Vietnam, RMIT University continues to demonstrate its leadership and commitment to effective high-level partnership development as an enabler that will support the uptake of Industry 4.0 and realisation of its benefits across all sectors in Vietnam.
The roundtable’s overarching goal is to provide a platform for:
- sharing experience and progressing university and industry collaborations
- exploring opportunities for further cooperation with industry and government to advance the Industry 4.0 transformation agenda
- identifying critical factors that will accelerate digital transformation in Vietnam including new skills development and workforce preparation and transformation to support Industry 4.0
As part of the event, RMIT Vietnam will launch its new School of Science, Engineering & Technology (SSET), introduce SSET new Dean and sign an Aide Memoire with VISTI (Vietnam Institute for Science, Technology and Innovation, under MOST).
The event will be a blended delivery workshop, with speakers and participants in Hanoi, together with virtual presenters and participants from HCMC and Australia.
There will be approximately 100 virtual attendees by invitation only.
