The official also emphasised the need for youth organisations to further innovate their activities, create favourable environments for young people to develop their talents, and strengthen efforts to discover and nurture promising individuals. He stressed that investing in youth is an investment in the country’s future.
According to Bui Quang Huy, member of the Party Central Committee and First Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee, this year’s awards prioritised candidates in strategic breakthrough areas aligned with national development orientations, including artificial intelligence, semiconductor technology, green materials, digital transformation, and innovation-driven entrepreneurship. CEO Pham Chi Nhu of Coolmate highlighted the spirit of resilience among Vietnamese youth, saying their willingness to embrace challenges helps them adapt and thrive in a global environment. He noted that businesses should play a greater role in creating opportunities and equipping young people with the skills needed to succeed, both domestically and internationally.
Meanwhile, Captain Tran Quoc Khanh from the Phu Tho provincial Department of Public Security said his greatest motivation comes from the honour oath of the People’s Public Security force, inspiring him to protect social order and national economic security.
The awardees represent diverse fields, including education, scientific research, culture and arts, business and startups, national defence, sports, and social activities. Notable figures include Dr. Pham Anh Tuan from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, listed among the world’s top 2% most influential scientists, and Dr. Dang Thi Le Hang from the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, recognised for her work in biomedical materials.
Other honourees include singer Hoa Minzy for her cultural and artistic contributions, young community leader Mua A Thi for rescuing residents during flash floods, and footballer Nguyen Dinh Bac.
