Unleashing Innovation: How Fundamental Scientific Foundations Spawn Emerging Technologies

In the fiercely competitive arena of global emerging technologies, fundamental science and innovation have become pivotal. Historically, every technological revolution—from artificial intelligence and semiconductors to UAVs and telecommunications—has stemmed from foundational discoveries.

Evidence shows that nations and enterprises mastering fundamental science effortlessly cultivate robust tech ecosystems. In Vietnam, CT Group stands as a rare entity embracing a “root-first” development approach. For years, the conglomerate has invested in fundamental science, establishing R&D centers and labs, and assembling thousands of top-tier experts across disciplines.

CT Group’s unique approach transcends academic research, focusing on practical applications to solve industry and national challenges. This includes optimizing UAV stability through dynamics models, leveraging data science and applied mathematics for AI algorithms in UAV control, traffic prediction, and environmental monitoring, and molecular biology advancements underpinning precision medicine and agriculture.

Core scientific pillars—physics, chemistry, biology, applied mathematics, and dynamics—have forged a methodology for tech innovation, enabling emerging sectors to flourish. Consequently, CT Group dominates nine core Industry 4.0 technologies: Semiconductors, AI, UAVs, Green Digital Currency, Carbon Credit Platforms, Robotics, Quantum Computing, New Energy, and Gene & Cell Technology. Uniquely, these sectors synergize rather than operate in silos.

This synergy birthed groundbreaking innovations like the National Digital Twin 15 (NDT 15), fusing UAVs, AI, and data technologies. NDT 15 revolutionizes smart urban planning by synchronizing 300 data sources into 15 layers, accelerating national digital transformation.

Building on NDT 15, UAV, AI, and semiconductor advancements, GASCO (a CT Group subsidiary) pioneered the Marginal Space Economy—a multi-tiered economic framework below 3,000 meters, where human and machine activities achieve unprecedented efficiency.

Hybrid technologies like UAV-Carbon Credit (high-precision forest and agricultural carbon measurement), UAV-Semiconductor (secure, autonomous chip systems), and Robotics-UAV (high-precision robotic drones for specialized tasks) are expanding across sectors, deepening Vietnam’s high-tech ecosystem.

A remarkable convergence of semiconductors and biology is emerging as chip sizes shrink below viral dimensions. With a world-class biotech team, CT Group is poised to launch revolutionary products, propelling Vietnamese biotech onto the global stage.

While fundamental science provides the foundation, innovation drives economic growth and competitiveness. CT Group’s strategic initiative, the CT Innovation Hub 4.0 (20 Trương Định, District 3, HCMC), epitomizes this vision.

CT Innovation Hub 4.0 attracts thousands of domestic and international students for tours and learning.

A quantum leap from traditional hubs, CT Innovation Hub 4.0 operates on Web 3 and AI, with a blockchain core safeguarding intellectual property. Its “magnetic core” model—nine technologies plus a coordination system—strategically transforms ideas into products.

Long-term, the hub aims to become a Web 3-based Innovation Super University, where learning instantly translates to value creation and earnings, fostering unparalleled motivation.

With robust foundational science and innovative prowess, CT Group has deployed a multi-core tech ecosystem in Vietnam. This exemplifies a self-reliant enterprise competing globally while advancing national tech capabilities.

Through CT VERSE, CT Group is now reaching for the stars, developing Vietnam’s first 100 kg satellite by 2026, propelling the nation into a new era of space exploration.
