WELCOME TO ​HIGH-TECH WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FORUM 2026

High-Tech Workforce Development Forum 2026 is a premier international forum jointly hosted by Gachon University Program  and Kyungpook University Program and strategic partners from South Korea to strengthen collaboration in advanced technology, innovation, investment, and human capital development.

As South Korea continues to be one of Vietnam's largest investors in high-tech industries - including Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductors, Smart Manufacturing, Digital Transformation, Healthcare Technology, and Digital Services - the demand for globally competent, industry-ready talent has never been greater.

The Forum serves as a strategic platform connecting universities, government agencies, Korean enterprises, investors, researchers, and students to discuss future workforce development while promoting university-industry collaboration between Vietnam and South Korea.







Participants will explore how emerging technologies, university–industry collaboration, and international education partnerships are driving innovation, accelerating digital transformation, and preparing the next generation of globally competitive technology professionals across Vietnam and South Korea.
Through inspiring keynote presentations, industry case studies, university showcases, strategic dialogue, partnership signing ceremonies, and networking opportunities, the Forum aims to strengthen Vietnam–Korea collaboration while fostering a sustainable ecosystem for technology innovation, talent development, and future workforce readiness.
