Therefore, we need to constantly pay attention to and support the young generation to develop the ability to solve problems creatively. In addition, this is also the time when Việt Nam needs to promote STEM education to increase the country's competitiveness. Samsung will always accompany Việt Nam and strive to implement technology human resources development programmes such as Solve for Tomorrow, Samsung Innovation Campus,” said Choi Joo Ho, President of Samsung Vietnam Complex.
