The University of Technology Sydney (UTS), in partnership with Posts and Telecommunication (NEW8808) will lead the establishment of the Australia-Vietnam Strategic Technologies Centre, supported by Australia\u2019s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and Vietnam\u2019s Ministry of Science and Technology. A groundbreaking partnership between Australia and Vietnam is set to revolutionise next-generation connectivity and cybersecurity.<\/p>\n

The new centre will serve as a cutting-edge research hub for collaboration between the two countries in the areas of strategic technologies and cybersecurity, including 5G and emerging 6G technologies.<\/p>\n

Nokia, a B2B technology innovation leader, is the founding technology partner. Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) will enable connectivity throughout the new center which will \u00a0be situated at the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (NEW8808) in Hanoi, a leading university in communication technologies and digital transformation.<\/p>\n

Australian Ambassador for Cyber Affairs and Critical Technology Mr Brendan Dowling said the initiative would position both nations at the forefront of global connectivity, and support enhancing economic growth, security and digital inclusion.<\/p>\n

\u201cAligned with the Vietnam-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, this new research centre aims to strengthen collaboration between our two nations on strategic technologies, including harnessing the potential of 5G and 6G technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will drive digital transformation, foster technological and industry innovation, and enhance international cyber stability for our shared region,\u201d Mr Dowling said.<\/p>\n

The collaboration follows a visit by the Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology Mr Nguyen Manh Hung to Australia and UTS Tech Lab in 2023, where discussions with Australia\u2019s partners and industry leaders reinforced the need for deeper research and training partnerships. In light of the initiative by Minister Nguyen Manh Hung as the key driver for the collaboration, the President of NEW8808, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dang Hoai Bac, said that \u201cThis comes at a critical time for Vietnam when advances in next-generation connectivity are key to implementing Party Resolution 57, which identifies national digital transformation, science and technology as essential drivers for socio-economic progress, supporting Vietnam’s future growth and prosperity. This collaboration between UTS and NEW8808 will bring together leading academics, industry experts, and policymakers to explore the transformative power of 5G and emerging 6G technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

“The Centre will create great opportunities for researchers and industry and government partners of the two countries to capitalise on strategic technology collaborations. It also highlights UTS\u2019s vision to be a world-leading university with global impact, serving social justice, inclusion and UN sustainable development goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of UTS and our partners, I would like to acknowledge the Australian and Vietnamese governments for their support through DFAT and Vietnam\u2019s Ministry of Science and Technology and especially their trust in us to lead this very critical initiative\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Centre\u2019s Director, Associate Professor Diep N. Nguyen said the centre would foster research excellence, policy leadership and the development of real-world applications that unlock the full potential of digital transformation.<\/p>\n

\u201cNokia, the key industry driver and the technology partner of the project, anticipates 5G and 5G-Advanced will contribute up to $8 trillion in global GDP in 2030, opening new growth revenues for both Vietnam and Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther emerging areas such as AI, semiconductor research, chip design and testing, clean energy, digital transformation, and environmental engineering also have potential for collaboration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

With its mission to bridge research, industry, and policy, the Australia-Vietnam Strategic Technologies Centre invites academics, businesses, and technology leaders to contribute to digital transformation.<\/p>\n

Upcoming initiatives include establishment of the state-of-the-art 5G research lab, strategic technology seed funding, 5G scholarships, a women-in-technology mentorship program, and a 5G-enabled cultural exchange program.<\/p>\n
