HUTECH’s presence at APAIE 2026 once again affirmed its commitment to sustainable development aligned with international standards, demonstrating its determination to deepen global integration and continuously enhance the quality of education and research in the context of globalized higher education.
Notably, 2026 marked the first time Vietnam organized a Vietnam Pavilion at the event.
