Ho Chi Minh City, December 5, 2025 – As part of the Business Matching 2025: “Redefine Leadership – Leading in the AI Era” program, Japanese-invested BlockchainWork and the Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF) officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), marking the beginning of a strategic collaboration in training, job matching, and building a high-quality talent ecosystem for the Blockchain – Web 3.0 – AI sectors in Vietnam.
Organized by UEF, Business Matching 2025 brought together more than 200 enterprises and 30 multi-industry business-matching tables, focusing on redefining leadership capabilities, accelerating digital transformation, and strengthening university–industry partnerships in the age of AI.
The MOU highlights the joint commitment of both parties to:
● Advance practical training in Blockchain/Web 3.0 and AI applications;
● Expand internship and employment opportunities for students;
● Connect enterprises with highly skilled talent to meet digital transformation demands.
Founded in 2021 by Vietnamese and Japanese entrepreneurs, BlockchainWork is one of Vietnam’s leading blockchain talent ecosystems. With a network of over 300 industry companies, strategic partnerships with more than 10 universities, and tens of thousands of community members nationwide, BlockchainWork plays a central role in linking enterprises, organizations, and professionals in the blockchain field.
BlockchainWork operates the platform https://blockchainwork.net/, which updates and connects hundreds of job opportunities in Blockchain and Web3, while BlockchainWork Insider (https://insider.blockchainwork.net/) provides industry news, events, practical insights, and expert commentary. Through internship programs, skill workshops, and regular networking events, BlockchainWork strengthens the bridge between academia and industry, equipping students with practical experience and early career opportunities in blockchain technology.

The company is well-positioned to supply both technical talent—such as blockchain developers—and non-technical roles including sales, marketing, and finance to Japanese and global enterprises expanding their operations in the Vietnamese market.
UEF is an internationally oriented university known for its bilingual training programs, practical learning approach, and focus on developing high-quality human resources with global mindsets and real-world skills. The university maintains an extensive network of more than 3,500 enterprise partners – over 800 of which have signed strategic cooperation agreements – and international collaborations with more than 80 institutions across more than 30 countries, offering students an international-standard learning environment and broad global integration opportunities.
Mr. Do Quoc Anh, Vice Chairman of the University Council at UEF, shared in his opening remarks:
“From our network of enterprise partners, UEF recognizes that strong connections are formed not only when the university collaborates with businesses, but when businesses also support and collaborate with one another to create a sustainable ecosystem. We believe that partnerships between UEF and industry will continue to expand opportunities for students, helping them integrate quickly into the labor market – especially in key sectors driving the digital economy such as technology, AI, blockchain, finance, and logistics. UEF remains committed to building a modern learning environment closely connected with industry, enabling us to train a generation of young talent who are capable, innovative, globally minded, and ready to contribute to the nation’s development in the digital era.”
At the event, Ms. Le Ngoc My Tien, CEO and Co-founder of BlockchainWork, stated:
“Vietnam is entering a golden stage as technology, digital assets, and AI open up extraordinary opportunities. The influx of investment, supportive policies, and the agility of our young workforce create an advantage that few countries possess. This is the moment for Vietnam to focus on developing high-quality talent to capture these opportunities. BlockchainWork is committed to long-term collaboration with UEF and the Vietnamese blockchain community to help young people access international-standard job opportunities, develop practical capabilities, and embrace the new possibilities created by emerging technologies.”
According to Chainalysis’ 2025 report, Vietnam ranks 4th globally in the Crypto Adoption Index 2025. The country received USD 220 billion in on-chain value – up 55% in the 12 months leading to June 2025 compared to the previous period.
In 2025, the National Assembly passed the Digital Technology Industry Law, effective January 1, 2026, formally defining digital assets and tokenized assets within Vietnam’s legal framework. Resolution 05/2025/NQ-CP authorizes a five-year pilot of digital asset markets starting September 9, 2025, allowing regulated centralized exchanges, custodial wallets, and controlled token issuance. At the national level, the Government approved the implementation plan to establish International Financial Centers (IFC) in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, targeting operational launch by the end of 2025. These policies are expected to create a strong foundation for digital products, tokenized assets, and financial innovation.
The rapid acceleration of blockchain adoption, digital assets, and supportive regulatory frameworks is not only creating high-quality jobs domestically but also attracting international resources, strengthening Vietnam’s position in the global blockchain landscape. Amid strong growth opportunities and growing talent shortages, partnerships between universities and enterprises—such as the collaboration between BlockchainWork and UEF – play a crucial role in developing a future-ready, high-quality tech workforce.
