At VNF, we believe young people can become powerful drivers of innovation when they are given the opportunity to engage with real-world challenges. That is why we are proud to accompany the Inspire Mekong 2026 journey as a corporate partner.
On May 22, 2026, the official kick-off ceremony of INSPIRE Mekong 2026 took place at Can Tho University. The program is organized by MSD United Way Vietnam in collaboration with the Mekong Institute – Can Tho University (Viện Mekong – Đại học Cần Thơ). It aims to strengthen technology capabilities, innovative thinking (AI, STEM), and green skills for around 200 students aged 18 to 25 across the Mekong region.In this context, the Mekong Delta faces rapid economic, environmental, and technological shifts. Empowering the next generation to lead innovation has never been more important.
VNF was honored to participate in the panel discussion “Igniting Mekong Innovation” alongside experts, local authorities, and youth representatives. Representing VNF, Mrs. Ngoc Tran, Sales Director, shared perspectives on technology and cross-sector collaboration. She also reaffirmed VNF’s commitment to supporting young people in the Mekong Delta as they transform bold ideas into sustainable impact.
As a corporate partner, VNF believes businesses can provide students with practical environments to test ideas, gain industry exposure, and turn innovation into measurable community impact.
VNF sincerely thanks MSD United Way Vietnam, Mekong Institute – Can Tho University, Community Chest of Korea (CCK), MiTek Vietnam, and Shinhan Financial Group Hope Foundation for creating this meaningful platform for future innovators.Investing in young innovators today means investing in a more sustainable Mekong tomorrow.
