The University of Sydney invites you to join us for the Sydney Vietnam Innovation Symposium 2026 to be held in Ho Chi Minh City in September. This dynamic event brings together academics, researchers, clinicians, industry leaders, policymakers and institutional partners from Australia and Vietnam to share ideas, showcase research and build new connections.

The program will feature keynote presentations, invited talks, research presentations, poster sessions and panel discussions designed to spark dialogue and support long-term partnerships between Australian and Vietnamese institutions.
