On July 17, 2024, the Institute for Enterprise Training and Consulting (iEIT) of Foreign Trade University (FTU) hosted a working session with a delegation from the Korean Management Consulting Company (KMAC).

Attending the meeting on behalf of KMAC were Mr. Kwang Ho Song, Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Lee Lib, Deputy Director of Customer Management.

Representing iEIT were Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Minh, Director of the Institute for Enterprise Training and Consulting, and Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Bich, Chief of the secretariat at the Institute for Enterprise Training and Consulting.

Building on the success of the "KMAC - FTU: Innovation Ideas 2023" competition, KMAC expressed its desire to continue this initiative with revised and upgraded content to expand its scale, offering more valuable activities for students and businesses through the organizing unit, the Institute for Enterprise Training and Consulting.

Additionally, KMAC mentioned the largest conference series in Korea (ASIA CSCON 24), scheduled for October 2024, which will involve over 3,000 experts from universities and businesses across Asia. During the discussions, KMAC expressed its intention to collaborate with iEIT to invite experts and entrepreneurs from Vietnam to participate in the event, aiming to share experiences and explore cooperation opportunities among countries.

Furthermore, KMAC also expressed a desire for iEIT to conduct research and surveys on Customer Satisfaction Indexes (CSI) in Vietnam across seven sectors (Automobiles, Retail Chains, Convenience Stores, E-wallets, Smartphones, Telecommunications Services, and Banking).

In the open and concise discussion, both parties proposed ideas and developed specific plans and actions for upcoming activities. With maximum effort from the Institute and the University in collaborating with international partners like KMAC, the Institute for Enterprise Training and Consulting at FTU hopes to become a bridge between students, businesses, and international partners in projects that support education, student development, and community value.
