  "account": "The Vietnam International Financial Center in Ho Chi Minh City recently launched the VIFC Academy to bolster its workforce in fintech and artificial intelligence. This initiative came during a scientific conference aimed at attracting and utilizing top talent in these fields. The conference, held on November 14, brought together representatives from various sectors, including government, academia, and industry, to address the need for a skilled workforce to support the development of the International Financial Center in Vietnam.\n\nVIFC-HCMC's Associate Professor Nguyen Huu Huan, who leads the Executive Agency, highlighted that after nearly a year of operation, gaps in human resources have been identified. Vietnam is still in the early stages of developing an international financial center, and universities have not yet updated their curricula accordingly. Professor Huan stressed that human resources are crucial for the center's competitiveness on the global stage.\n\nThe VIFC Academy, launched at the conference, will serve three main purposes. It will connect stakeholders and identify workforce needs, providing a foundation for developing training, coaching, and research programs. For the 2026-2030 period, the academy will focus on internal training for VIFC-HCMC staff, external training for members, organizations, investors, and future talent, and research and consulting to support the center's development and operation.",
