Context

On 21 August 2025, Vietnam's National Innovation Center (NIC), Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) and NVIDIA launched the Vietnam AI Academy on the HUST campus in Hanoi, a training pipeline built around NVIDIA's Deep Learning Institute (DLI) curriculum. HUST is the only Vietnamese institution named an official NVIDIA DLI certification partner.

Activities

State news agency reporting cites year-by-year enrolment targets: at least 2,000 learners in Year 1, 6,000 in Year 2, and 8,000-10,000 by Year 3.

Conclusions

At the launch, Vietnam's Deputy Prime Minister publicly called for the model to be 'quickly replicated nationwide' -- language indicating the Academy was, as of the reporting reviewed, still a single-site pilot centred on HUST in Hanoi rather than an already-scaled national programme. No independent international press coverage was found, and no learning-outcome or completion data has been published.
