The competition saw the participation of 8 outstanding teams; bringing together a large number of delegates, guests, experts, investors, and hundreds of students from various member university and affiliated units of Hue University.

This year's competition was not just an academic playground, but also a comprehensive incubation program lasting nearly three months. Contestants not only submitted their ideas, but also participated in an intensive training process, with a series of activities including training, mentoring, consulting, and connecting investment. As a result, many ideas were refined and developed into highly feasible projects.

The projects in this year's final round showcased the diversity and practical applicability, from technological solutions for heritage conservation to green and sustainable product development initiatives. Each idea is the culmination of the intellect, passion, and dedication of Hue University's youth.

The 8th Hue University Startup and Innovation Idea Competition 2025 left a deep impression of the spirit of dare to think - dare to do - dare to startup of the youth. This will be an important stepping stone, contributing to building a dynamic and sustainable innovative startup ecosystem in Hue and the Central region.

In the final results, the First prize went to the An vi Porridge project, a product from medicinal reishi mushrooms that supports functional recovery in gastric ulcers; the Second prize went to the HUAF GPC project, a green concrete product from agricultural and industrial waste by-products aimed at Net-zero emissions; and the Third prize was awarded to the project on Production of Nano Copper Curcumin to specifically treat hoof and mouth disease in dairy cows.
