During the visit, they learned about Hanwha Life's digital finance and AI service cases, as well as examples of FinTech innovation from Korean companies.

It was meaningful and enjoyable to picture what innovations could happen in Vietnam, where digital transformation is progressing rapidly."

"Visiting Yeouido, Seoul's financial hub, and Gangnam, renowned for its vibrant commercial activity, provided us with valuable insights into the current landscape of Korea's FinTech industry. I hope to see how our students' ICT skills will integrate with the growth of Vietnam's financial sector, fostering unique FinTech innovations in Vietnam," said Le Phuoc Cuu Long, Department Chair of the Fintech Program at VKU.

Participants exchange ideas for the Fintech Idea Competition.

On October 30, the participants took part in an idea competition at Lifepark, Hanwha Life's training institute in Yongin, where they presented creative ideas for the convergence of finance and technology.
