As Vietnam undergoes a profound transformation toward green, high-tech, and sustainable agriculture, Thanh Thanh Cong – Bien Hoa Joint Stock Company (TTC AgriS) is actively participating in the Partnering for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 (P4G) program. This global initiative promotes public-private partnerships to accelerate digital transformation and sustainable growth in developing countries.
In parallel, TTC AgriS continues to strengthen its pioneering role in connecting key stakeholders shaping Vietnam’s agricultural strategy – the State, Academia, and Enterprises.
A series of recent MOUs signed by TTC AgriS underscore a strong focus on R&D, including partnerships with Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City – a leading multidisciplinary research institution; Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry – a top agricultural training and research institution; and Nanyang Technological University (NTU – Singapore), where TTC AgriS has become a member of the Singapore Agri-Food Innovation Lab (SAIL). These mark significant milestones in TTC AgriS's journey to establish a global network for education, research, and innovation.

Connecting the State – Academia – Enterprises: A catalyst for innovation
With a strategic focus on “putting people at the center of digital transformation in agriculture,” TTC AgriS-led projects under the P4G framework and in collaboration with universities aim not only at technology transfer but also at training and capacity-building for young professionals, farmers, and students – the key workforce for the new era of agriculture. These actions also advance the goals of Resolution 68/NQ-CP on digital transformation in agriculture and rural development through 2030.
TTC AgriS sees educational institutions as the origin of knowledge and technology – entities that must be closely linked to enterprises to accelerate technology transfer, research commercialization, and the development of globally competent human resources. Its strategic academic partnerships reflect a methodical and authentic ecosystem approach.
On May 24, 2025, Dr. Vu Hai Quan, President of Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City, and Ms. Dang Huynh Uc My, Chairlady of TTC AgriS, exchanged cooperation documents in the presence of Mr. Tran Luu Quang – Secretary of the Party Central Committee, Head of the Central Commission for Policy and Strategy
TTC AgriS, with its sustainable circular value chain anchored on three technological pillars – AgTech, FoodTech, and FinTech – has outlined key areas of academic collaboration: data sharing and training in digital agricultural economics; co-creating science, technology, and ESG policies with government agencies; applying smart farming models, traceability systems, and digitizing supply chains in Tay Ninh and Ben Tre – its two strategic farming zones; and launching "learning by doing" programs for students, to be implemented across TTC AgriS’s three global hubs: the Agricultural R&D Center in Australia, the International Commercial R&D Center in Singapore, and its production hub in Vietnam.
Beyond partnerships with leading Vietnamese universities, TTC AgriS is also building a global R&D system through collaborations with prestigious institutes and organizations. These programs focus on biotechnology research, development of plant-based foods and beverages, and applications of advanced technologies such as protein fermentation, HPP, UHT, and the formulation of specialized nutrition for global markets. In parallel, efforts are underway to reduce carbon emissions and improve circular agricultural packaging. These are critical steps for TTC AgriS in developing value-added products with clear traceability for international markets.
In March 2025, TTC AgriS signed a cooperation agreement with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), witnessed by senior leaders from Vietnam and Singapore, and officially became a member of the Singapore Agri-Food Innovation Lab (SAIL)
From research to practice: The synergy of the three stakeholders
On the occasion of signing multiple university partnerships, TTC AgriS’s Chairlady affirmed: “Policies and resolutions are guiding lights, but we cannot turn vision into reality without a substantive ecosystem involving the three stakeholders: The State providing orientation, Academia offering knowledge, and Enterprises transforming research into impact. TTC AgriS is also integrating two more critical forces: Farmers and Banks – to build a holistic ecosystem for sustainable agriculture.”
Through a growing network of cooperation in education, research, and innovation, TTC AgriS is gradually solidifying its role as “the destination for agricultural innovation” in Vietnam. This is not only a strategic direction for the company but also a powerful testament to the convergence of science, technology, and entrepreneurial leadership in elevating Vietnamese agriculture on the global stage.
In May 2025, TTC AgriS signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Nong Lam University Ho Chi Minh City (NLU), focusing on research, training, and the development of circular agriculture
