During the two-hour forum, four members of the organising board answered many questions from readers concerning the importance of the possible path to success the Awards can initiate, as well as the application of the winning products in daily life.
Answering a question on how the winning products at the Vietnamese Talents Awards are being developed and used in real life, Prof cum Academician Nguyen Van Hieu, who is chairman of the panel of judges for the final, said that over past years, although several innovations, especially in the IT sector, have been effectively used by local companies, the number of products being introduced and applied are still limited and the organising board will try to introduce future innovations more widely so that they can better help the development of the country. Prof Hieu also added that they are encouraging more entries in the field of Environmental Protection since our earth is being threatened by climate change.
Head of the organising board, Pham Huy Hoan, who is editor-in-chief of Dan Tri/DTiNews Newspaper, added that the Vietnamese Talents Awards have expanded to more and more fields over the past eight years, and products and scientific projects therefrom have been widely acknowledged by society.
“The environment has recently become a hot issue and we need more products to help protect our earth,” Mr. Hoan said. “Therefore, this year we are going to add Environmental Protection to existing categories, such as IT, science and health.”
Getting many questions from readers about his prize, Hoang Ngoc Trung, head of the AI Vietnam group who won first prize for their IT product in 2007 commented that the prize they received from the Vietnamese Talent Awards was a good start and definitely helped them garner more success in their current work.
“Vietnamese Talent Awards were initiated by Vietnam Study Encouragement Association in 2005. The Vietnamese Talent Awards 2013 received 150 entries by the end of August and the prizes will be announced in November.
