Viet Nam Japan AI Hackathon 2025
The world is entering the AI era, where artificial intelligence is not just a tool, but a wave reshaping how we learn, work, and build society. Against this global backdrop, Japan is facing a significant shortage of high-quality AI human resources. This is the golden opportunity for the Vietnamese IT and AI community in Japan to assert its capabilities, strengthen connections, and collaborate with businesses to create new value.
Organized for the first time in Japan, the Viet Nam Japan AI Hackathon 2025 is established as a meeting point for the spirit of innovation, where the young Vietnamese and Japanese AI community finds a platform for breakthroughs, connecting with mentors, experts, and businesses. This is not just a competition, but a journey of working together to solve real-world problems and create highly applicable AI solutions that contribute new value to businesses and society.
As the world needs those who dare to 'lead the wave,' are you ready to 'ignite your ideas' and contribute to the rapidly changing landscape of AI?
