Press conference Interpreting for the Global Future Fair

2025/08/06

The Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry Ho Chi Minh City Branch (VCCI-HCM) organized a press conference to introduce the "Global Future Fair (GFF) - Talent Congress, Building the Future" event.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Nam, Deputy Director of VCCI Ho Chi Minh City, opened the press conference on behalf of the Chamber, emphasizing the critical role of education in the nation's sustainable development amidst deepening international integration.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoan Minh, Chairwoman of Tiim Group, presented detailed information about the Global Future Fair, an initiative launched by VCCI and Tiim Group. Ms. Ngoan Minh also shared that an estimated $100 million in scholarships and $2 billion in student grants go unclaimed annually, while hundreds of talented students must abandon their education due to financial hardships, and thousands of Vietnamese international students who graduate with distinction tend to remain and work abroad.

One of GFF's key highlights is the "Red Carpet Welcome for Talent" program. This initiative aims to welcome and facilitate the return of Vietnamese international students to contribute to their homeland, offering attractive career opportunities and connecting young talent with businesses, research organizations, and high-quality work environments in Vietnam. For events of this caliber, simultaneous interpretation services in soundproof booths play a pivotal role, ensuring all participants can grasp information completely without interruption.

The press conference was also honored to receive remarks from Dr. Azriey Bin Mazlan, Education Consul of the Malaysian Consulate General. He shared insights on the importance of international educational cooperation and expressed support for initiatives like GFF. Following this, Mr. Dinh Duc Chinh, Head of Human Resources at iAN - the International Alumni Network, offered heartfelt perspectives on the community's role in connecting and supporting returning international students.

VCCI consistently values education's role in developing high-quality human resources. Initiatives like the Global Future Fair not only create valuable learning opportunities but also foster collaboration between businesses and educational institutions, promoting an open, creative education system that meets the labor market's practical needs. With the support of educational organizations, businesses, and communities, the Global Future Fair promises to evolve into a global initiative, spreading the spirit of learning and sustainable development.
