This announcement occurred during a session focused on green energy technology and research directions aimed at optimising renewable energy use, facilitating knowledge exchange between Binh Duong province and experts in sustainable energy development. This initiative is a collaborative effort by Becamex IDC Corporation with partners Q-Energy and the British Chamber of Commerce.
The announcement of the pilot project on Technology and Research Cooperation for Green Transition
The VIETPULSE Green Transition Technology and Research Collaboration trial project, sponsored by the UK Government with over £500,000, aims to address fundamental issues in the use of renewable energy in Vietnam, such as grid imbalance and instability in energy supply to users.
Ms. Emily Hamblin, the British Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City, spoke at the event
Following the official rollout of essential infrastructure such as solar panels, electric vehicle charging stations, energy storage battery systems, and two-way motorcycle battery exchange stations, Q-Energy, Eastern International University (under Becamex IDC Corporation), and partners will conduct specific research.
Mr. Mai Hung Dung, the Permanent Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Binh Duong Province, gave a speech at the event
This research will focus on energy management systems to optimise electricity consumption and renewable energy system installations. It also explores the application of big data technologies and AI to coordinate resources within the same infrastructure complex and develop a model for energy sharing among units, eventually expanding to larger scales such as industrial zones and residential clusters.
Dr. Ngo Minh Duc, President of Eastern International University, highlighted that the smart energy trading platform for upgrading energy storage capabilities and utilising electric vehicles (EVs) is the project’s first step. The project’s success is significant for addressing energy challenges and represents a great opportunity to explore future cooperation between Binh Duong and UK organisations and businesses.

At the project announcement event, Ms. Emily Hamblin, the Consul General of the United Kingdom in Ho Chi Minh City, praised the pioneering efforts of Becamex IDC towards a greener and more sustainable future. She emphasized that Vietnam is increasingly receiving attention from international investors in the energy transition process, especially in the manufacturing sector, which is highly significant and essential. The deployment of green transformation technology and research cooperation will undoubtedly create favorable conditions for the faster application and commercialization of this solution.
In his remarks at the event, Mr. Mai Hùng Dũng, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee of Bình Dương Province, highly praised the efforts to promote the development of a new, green, and smart industrial park model, aiming to establish a scientific and technological industrial park model for Becamex IDC.
He emphasised that the collaboration between the startup company Q-Energy from the United Kingdom and the Eastern International University demonstrates both support and readiness for testing and applying new technologies in Bình Dương Province. This collaboration not only presents an opportunity to enhance capacity but also to learn from experiences in the field of green energy transition and sustainable energy utilisation optimization.
