Faculty Scientific Conference 2025

Financial Technology (Fintech) has significantly impacted the field of Finance and Accounting. Accordingly, financial and accounting practices in enterprises and banks worldwide, including Vietnam, in the context of digital transformation can be broadly characterized by five key technologies: the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Cloud Computing, and Blockchain. These digital technologies aim to enhance the efficiency of financial and accounting processes, enabling them to be conducted quickly, anytime and anywhere, with improved security. At the same time, accounting organizations within enterprises become more flexible, and financial reports provide richer, multidimensional, and more valuable information.

In parallel, the Finance and Banking sector has been identified as one of the eight priority areas for early digital transformation. The sector has been proactively leading the implementation of digital transformation roadmaps, with specific targets set for the 2021–2025 period to develop e-finance and digital finance. By 2030, the goal is to establish a fully digitalized financial system and a smart financial ecosystem.

The 2025 Scientific Conference of the Faculty of Finance and Accounting, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade, under the theme “Fintech – From Practice to Applications in Teaching and Learning”, received 45 papers from lecturers, postgraduate students, and undergraduate students. These contributions addressed a wide range of topics related to Fintech in teaching and learning in Accounting, Finance – Banking, Financial Technology, as well as other economic issues.

At the conference, participants focused on presenting and discussing two main themes:

• Opportunities and challenges in the field of Financial Technology (Fintech) in Vietnam
• Training human resources in Financial Technology in Vietnam: Current situation and solutions

It is expected that the conference will receive diverse perspectives and insightful contributions from participants regarding the application of Fintech in teaching and learning at the Faculty of Finance and Accounting. These discussions are anticipated to propose valuable solutions, thereby helping the Faculty better orient its efforts to meet the demand for human resources equipped with knowledge and skills in Fintech across the fields of Accounting, Finance – Banking, and Financial Technology.
