BlockchainWork and Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF) Announce Partnership to Develop Blockchain – Web 3.0 – AI Talent

Vietnam’s technology landscape is entering a strong growth phase, especially in Blockchain, Web 3.0, and AI.

The MOU Signing: A New Direction for Digital Talent Development

On December 5, 2025, BlockchainWork and UEF officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), formalizing collaboration between a leading blockchain talent ecosystem and an internationally oriented university.

• Expand internship programs, early-career orientation, workshops, and seminars.

• Build a bridge connecting young talent with the broader ecosystem of enterprises and experts across both organizations.

The MOU represents a shared commitment to reducing the gap between academic training and real market needs—particularly in blockchain, Web 3.0, and AI.
