On October 7, 2026, Tan Tao University (TTU) participated in Tay Ninh Province’s 2026 Science, Technology, Innovation and Digital Transformation Festival at To Quyen Square, Tan Ninh Ward, Tay Ninh Province. As a Gold Sponsor, TTU presented an exhibition space showcasing its educational programs, scientific research, innovation activities, and practically applicable models, attracting the interest of numerous delegates, partners, and visitors.
TTU Joins Science, Technology and Digital Transformation Initiatives in Tay Ninh
Held from October 7 to 9, 2026, Tay Ninh Province’s 2026 Science, Technology, Innovation and Digital Transformation Festival brought together government agencies, educational institutions, businesses, experts, and organizations operating in the fields of science and technology.
During the event, TTU’s exhibition space welcomed numerous leaders, delegates, and experts who visited and learned about the University’s activities, including:
- Mr. Le Thanh Tam – Former Member of the Party Central Committee and Former Secretary of the Long An Provincial Party Committee.
- Mr. Duong Quoc Xuan – Former Deputy Head of the Steering Committee for the Southwestern Region, Former Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Former Chairman of the Long An Provincial People’s Committee.
- Ms. Ho Thi Diep Thuy – Deputy Director of the Tay Ninh Department of Science and Technology.
- Mr. Tran Giang Khue – Head of the Representative Office of the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City.
- Mr. Ly Dinh Quan – Chief Executive Officer of Song Han Incubator.
- Leaders of Tay Ninh Provincial Post (VNPost).
- Representatives of the Office of Science Management at An Giang University, along with numerous lecturers, students, parents, and high school students from the province.
In addition to its exhibition activities, TTU participated in the festival’s opening ceremony and attended two thematic seminars: “National Digital Transformation: From Architecture, Platforms and Data to Tangible Results and Improved National Governance Efficiency” and “Local Challenges in Innovation and Digital Transformation.”
These activities provided opportunities for the University to showcase its strengths in education, scientific research, and innovation while strengthening connections with government agencies, businesses, experts, and research organizations within the science and technology ecosystem.
TTU Showcases Applied Science and Technology Solutions at Booths 129–130
At the festival, Tan Tao University’s booths 129–130 featured applied science and technology models, along with the University’s research achievements and notable collaboration initiatives.
Notably, TTU’s exhibition space welcomed Ms. Huynh Thi Hong Nhung, Director of the Tay Ninh Department of Science and Technology, who visited to learn about the University’s research and the practical applications of science and technology. During the visit, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Dien, Head of the Office of Science Management and International Cooperation at TTU, personally introduced representative products and models, highlighting the University’s orientation toward connecting scientific research with practical needs.
One of the highlights was the High-Tech Agriculture Project, developed through TTU’s collaboration with Yonam College (South Korea) and receiving professional support from the TTU Entrepreneurship Center (GreenSpark Innovation).
A key feature of the model is the integration of controlled cultivation processes with technology applied at each stage of plant growth. Managing nutrients and microclimatic conditions inside greenhouses enables more proactive crop care, creates suitable growing environments, and aims to improve produce quality and consistency. Production practices aligned with VietGAP standards also help strengthen quality control throughout the cultivation process.
Notably, the Hami Terra, VA74, and De Mat melon varieties were introduced, each with distinctive quality and sweetness characteristics. Among them, De Mat melons have a Brix sweetness level ranging from 14% to over 17%. In addition to melons, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and strawberries grown on elevated growing systems demonstrated the diversity of crops that can be cultivated, opening up opportunities to develop higher-value agricultural products through technology-driven farming models.
Through this project, TTU aims to connect international expertise with research and practical applications in agriculture. It also provides an opportunity to showcase high-tech cultivation solutions, exchange knowledge, and explore potential collaborations in modern agricultural development that meet local needs.
Exploring Science, Discovering Academic Programs, and Learning About Admissions Opportunities at TTU
Beyond attracting the attention of delegates and experts, TTU’s exhibition space welcomed large numbers of high school students, parents, and young children who came to explore and participate in hands-on activities. Designed to be accessible and engaging, these activities helped visitors discover practical applications of science while learning more about the University’s academic fields.
The experiential area hosted by the Faculty of Medicine particularly sparked the curiosity of younger visitors. The children enthusiastically tried using stethoscopes, observed anatomical models, and took their first steps toward exploring activities associated with the medical profession. Meanwhile, high-tech agricultural products from the Faculty of Biotechnology, including melons, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes, helped them discover how science and technology are applied in agricultural production and everyday life.
Alongside these hands-on activities, TTU’s admissions counseling area attracted considerable interest from students and parents. Many students proactively sought information about academic programs, admission methods, the learning environment, and career pathways. Parents, meanwhile, were particularly interested in scholarship policies, tuition assistance, and educational opportunities available to local students. Direct conversations at the exhibition booths provided families with additional information to help them consider academic programs and choose pathways suited to students’ abilities, interests, and future aspirations.
Notably, the message “Pursue Higher Education Right Here in Your Home Province” resonated with many families. Studying locally offers students another way to access higher education, participate in experiential learning activities, and prepare for their future careers without necessarily having to leave their hometown.

Strengthening Academic Reputation: TTU Highlights International Publications and Global Partnerships
Alongside its applied models, TTU introduced its multidisciplinary education and research ecosystem, comprising five faculties: the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Information Technology, Faculty of Biotechnology, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, and Faculty of Languages. The information presented at the exhibition helped visitors gain a clearer understanding of the University’s academic fields, research directions, and collaborative activities.
The University’s journal follows a double-blind peer-review process, adheres to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), assigns Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) through Crossref, and implements an Open Access policy while waiving 100% of publication fees. These features reflect TTU’s commitment to developing academic publishing and promoting knowledge exchange.
During the 2025–2026 academic year, TTU recorded 34 scientific publications, including 28 indexed in WoS/Scopus/ISI systems, alongside 28 scientific research projects at various levels. The University has also expanded its research and international cooperation through partnerships with institutions and organizations such as the University of Nebraska at Kearney (United States), Chenla University (Cambodia), Yonam College (South Korea), Arham Group (India), and other collaborative programs.
Participating in the festival as a Gold Sponsor provided Tan Tao University with an opportunity to showcase its capabilities in education, scientific research, and innovation while strengthening engagement and connections with government agencies, businesses, experts, and research organizations. TTU aims to expand collaboration opportunities, promote the application and transfer of technology, and bring research outcomes closer to practical needs, contributing to Tay Ninh Province’s development priorities in science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation.
