[Research Contribution] Lessons Learned from the Living Lab Development Process Around the World

17 Oct 2025

Living Labs have undergone a process of formation and development in recent decades. Various definitions, approaches, and development methods for Living Labs exist across the continents, all aimed at addressing urban challenges and improving citizens' quality of life. However, to date, no comprehensive study has synthesized the process of developing Living Labs across different continents. This study by researchers from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) explores these processes to capture key lessons learned from around the world.

[Research Contribution] Unleashing National Inner Strength from the Private Sector: Restructuring Vietnam's Development Model – Part 2

[Research Contribution] Unleashing National Inner Strength from the Private Sector: Restructuring Vietnam's Development Model – Part 2

14 Oct 2025

After more than a decade of robust transformation, Vietnam's private sector has evolved from a "recognized position" to a "key driver" of national growth. Its development across three distinct phases—foundational (2010–2015), acceleration (2016–2020), and breakthrough (2021–2024)—not only reflects the sector's maturation but also mirrors the evolution of institutional thinking and the operational capabilities of Vietnamese enterprises in the currents of global integration. From initial limitations to resilient post-pandemic recovery, the private sector has affirmed its indispensable role in GDP growth and economic restructuring. As the economy shifts towards digital growth and innovation in the 2025–2030 period, establishing a strategy to leverage this sector as the "most important driving force" is not just a development requirement but a prerequisite for Vietnam to achieve its goal of becoming a prosperous and sustainable nation by 2045.

After more than a decade of robust transformation, Vietnam's private sector has evolved from a "recognized position" to a "key driver" of national growth.

From initial limitations to resilient post-pandemic recovery, the private sector has affirmed its indispensable role in GDP growth and economic restructuring. As the economy shifts towards digital growth and innovation in the 2025–2030 period, establishing a strategy to leverage this sector as the "main driving force" is not just a development requirement but a prerequisite for Vietnam to achieve its goal of becoming a prosperous and sustainable nation by 2045. In Part 1 of this study by researchers from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), we will explore the development of the private sector within Vietnam's economic trajectory.

[Research Contribution] Climate Transition Risk and Bank Risk-Taking: The Role of Digital Transformation – A Perspective from Vietnam

[Research Contribution] Climate Transition Risk and Bank Risk-Taking: The Role of Digital Transformation – A Perspective from Vietnam

10 Oct 2025

In the context of escalating global climate change, climate transition risk (CTR) has emerged as a critical component of bank risk management. Vietnam, with its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, is witnessing a growing interest from commercial banks in integrating environmental factors into their business operations while controlling risk. Building on this context, a study by researchers from UEH Mekong, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), analyzes the impact of CTR on banks' risk-taking levels—including total risk, systemic risk, firm-specific risk, and Z-score—under the moderating effect of digital transformation within the Vietnamese commercial banking system.
