Thus, exactly one year since the launch of the competition (November 20, 2004), the Awarding Ceremony for Vietnamese Talent 2005 - The contest organized by VDC, Vietnam Television and Khuyen Hoc and Dan Tri Newspaper function - closed.

Nguyen Van Hieu explained: "Participating individuals and collectives are dynamic, creative, have many efforts, but the products with high scientific and technical content are not high, have not yet acquired high technologies. most of the world, IT is a promising field, which can contribute to the development of Vietnam, but even the best product in this competition is still not comparable to the regional level, or compared to the product itself. are being sold in Vietnam market ".

Mr. Nguyen Long, General Secretary of Vietnam Association of Informatics (VAIP), member of the Jury, has a unique perspective when comparing IT as a giant: "Vietnam Talent Contest 2005 has many products. products, applications are good finishing products, but the people standing on the shoulders of giants in IT have not yet appeared, looking forward to Vietnamese people, especially young people continue to try to have talented people reach international level ".

Previously, from 01 to 18/11, the 9-member BGK was chaired by Professor and Academician Nguyen Van Hieu, who conducted a centralized examination of the Final Round for 14 products of contestants and contestants. born from three regions of North - Central - South. The Jury assessed the products on a maximum scale of 100 for 4 criteria: Efficiency, applicability and dissemination, Scientific creativity, Perfection.

For example, we received registration for the DSP product that won the first prize in the City's Science and Technology Innovation Contest. HCM 2003, the second prize of the 2004 VIFOTEC Fund's competition ".

VietNamNet has recorded the speech of participants "holding the balance", organized a contest and talked with some contestants of the Vietnam Talent Contest 2005 before the announcement of the final results. In particular, contestants Pham Huu Ngon (of the BK02 group) and Nguyen Ngoc Minh (MyVietnam group) all made predictions about their products, however, they were all misleading when their final products were accounted for the highest prize.

- GS.VS Nguyen Van Hieu, Chairman of the Panel of Judges: "All scientific research topics must eventually reach the goal of bringing economic or social benefits to the country or businesses, For the Vietnam Talent Contest, the goal is very clear, the winning products will surely be applied in a relatively broad, effective, or economic way for businesses, or effectively. society for the country ".

- Mr. Pham Huy Hoan, Head of BTC: "A number of talent search organizations in Vietnam have announced their willingness to sponsor award-winning products such as Data Communication & Transmission Company (VDC), General Post Company. Telecommunications (VNPT), Dai Lien Group in Ho Chi Minh City (Big Link), IDG Ventures Vietnam, Cisco Vietnam and some other companies . This is the first time, ICT companies announced immediately Before the competition, we want to be ready to support potential products "

- Pham Huu Ngon (team leader of BK02 with the Library of RADLib graphics applications development): "This product of mine is the most complete synthesis of the products I attended in previous competitions. , including VSpeech (Top 14 Vietnam Intellectual Products 2004) or Imagine Cup 2004 in Brazil (won fifth place in graphics with 3DProS products), more or less "battle experience", but when In the final round, due to the passion for product demo, I missed half of the time, I like the "openness" of this competition when all subjects, all industries, have similar products. However, students and young people participating in this final competition are not as many as other competitions. in Vietnam 's Natural Environment in "top 14", it is a lively natural dictionary that its author Minh Tue is in grade 10 in Singapore. . As for my products, guess what, maybe BGK will give . scholarships because "young, there is still more time to improve!".

- Nguyen Ngoc Minh, MyVietnam group, with MyVietNam.net product: "This product is different from the one that won the second prize of Vietnam Intelligence 2003, when it was a stand-alone forum solution mvnForum, now is a Myvietnam.net portal and we have rewritten 50% of the source code, I hope this product will win . third prize (because other products are pretty good!). Anyway, we had a prize in the software competition and then the IT Knight title for our community contribution activities - that was very meaningful to us. This test is "open" but "open" is not high, the MOF should have more open rules and regulations for participants . "
