On September 21, 1973, Japan and Vietnam initiated the establishment of diplomatic relations. From this point onwards, the cooperation and friendship between the two countries have continuously evolved across various fields, including politics, economy, culture, and sports, spanning from national leadership levels to grassroots interactions.

MEVN IN THE CEREMONY

Accompanying the event, two programs as part of the Sustainable Initiatives CSR activities by Mitsubishi Electric Vietnam are honored to be recognized as part of The 50th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between Japan and Vietnam’s activities. This aims to strengthen the friendship between the two countries in general and promote sustainable development in particular.

The first program is the Mitsubishi Electric the Contest of Automation (MECA) 2023.

The Mitsubishi Electric the Contest of Automation is an exciting playground for automation engineers, aimed to nurture and develop young engineers’ skills - the "Green" seeds that will contribute to a sustainable society in the future. The competition began in China in 2007 and has since expanded to other countries such as India, Thailand, Brazil, and more.

In Vietnam, MECA was first organized in 2020 for only 1 university. In 2023, MECA expanded on a nationwide scale, attracting 18 teams from 12 top universities specializing in Automation - Industrial disciplines across Vietnam. These include universities such as Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Hanoi University of Industry, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education, Ton Duc Thang University, Can Tho University, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, and many other university campuses.

The team SPK-FURY from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education won the first prize in the MECA 2023 competition.

The competition is not only an intellectual playground but also creates opportunities for exchange, learning, and development in a healthy competitive environment. This is a significant step towards fostering a generation of young individuals full of energy and knowledge, contributing to the sustainable development of Vietnam's industry and economy.

The second program is Teach for Viet Nam 2023

Teaching for Vietnam is a program within the series of activities aimed at building an equal education system for all students in remote and disadvantaged areas of Vietnam, providing them with the opportunity to access modern technologies through English education, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and Career orientation education.

With the belief that all children deserve an equal opportunity to learn and develop, from 2021, MEVN has successfully established 3 STEM Labs and 3 STEM Gardens in Tay Ninh, Dong Thap, and Quang Nam.
