On the morning of February 4, 2025, at the Innovation Hub – Hoa Lac Campus, the Information Technology Institute held a meeting to implement key tasks and plan the execution of KPI targets for 2025. The meeting was attended by the institute’s leadership, representatives from affiliated units, and leading research groups. Prof. Tran Xuan Tu, Director of the Information Technology Institute, chaired the meeting. This significant event aimed to define strategic directions and unify key objectives for the new year, laying the foundation for major advancements in research, technology development, and innovation within the Information Technology Institute, focusing on three pillars: (1) Applied Artificial Intelligence, (2) Semiconductor Chip Design, and (3) Information System Security.
On this occasion, the Information Technology Institute was honored to welcome Vice President Pham Bao Son and a delegation from Vietnam National University, Hanoi, who visited and extended New Year’s greetings to the leading research groups at the Innovation Hub. This important event reflected the leadership’s recognition and appreciation of the institute’s research and technological development efforts, opening up new opportunities to promote the growth of key research areas in the future.
At the meeting, affiliated units presented their plans for implementing key tasks. The Advanced International Research Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence (AIRC) focused its report on the development of core technology products. One of AIRC’s priorities is the development of a DataOps platform, aimed at optimizing data processing and utilization, thereby enhancing efficiency in various real-world applications.
Additionally, AIRC is emphasizing the improvement of multi-modal processing capabilities in computer vision to support intelligent security camera systems. Moreover, AIRC proposed the deployment of a factory production line monitoring system by integrating sensors and IoT, enhancing the ability to track and analyze critical operational indicators in manufacturing processes.
The Network and Communication Technology Department, along with the Smart Integrated Systems Lab (SISLAB), presented their plans to develop infrastructure and new technologies in semiconductor chip design and AIoT devices. One of the key projects is the research and development of a low-power RISC-V microprocessor, integrated with AI hardware acceleration to optimize performance and energy efficiency.
At the same time, SISLAB is implementing the KC.01 project on SD-WAN systems, a strategic technology for optimizing enterprise networks and enhancing system security. Notably, SISLAB is also working on building an LLM model to support digital chip design in collaboration with the Advanced Institute of Science and Technology of Japan, promising significant breakthroughs in the semiconductor field.
Additionally, the Information System Security Department has identified key tasks for 2025, with a strong focus on cybersecurity and AI applications. The department plans to develop an information security assessment product, working closely with enterprises to enhance security and defense capabilities against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Moreover, the department is researching AI applications in agricultural economics as part of a protocol project, aiming to optimize production processes and supply chain management. Notably, it also aims to develop add-on applications for autonomous vehicles, contributing to the advancement of smart transportation ecosystems in the future.
In his concluding remarks, Prof. Tran Xuan Tu, Director of the Information Technology Institute, emphasized the importance of innovation, considering it a key factor in achieving significant milestones in 2025. The institute also aims to expand collaborations with research organizations both domestically and internationally, establishing a solid foundation for applying advanced technologies in real-world scenarios.
The meeting concluded with strong consensus from all units, paving the way for a promising year with significant progress in IT research and applications.
