Student Innovation

Student Projects

At HSB, student ideas do not remain in the classroom. Through startup competitions, social innovation initiatives, and interdisciplinary collaboration, students transform academic learning into practical ventures with real commercial, technological, and community impact. From fintech platforms and mental health tools to sustainability projects and inclusive design, HSB students demonstrate that ambition, rigour, and social purpose can coexist from the very first year.

"Growing Together on the Digital Platform"

A nonprofit community project designed to help people with disabilities in Hanoi develop practical digital literacy — enabling them to use platforms such as Facebook and TikTok to market and sell handmade products independently. By bridging the digital divide, the project empowers underserved communities to participate in the digital economy and achieve greater economic self-sufficiency. HSB was notably the only Northern university team to reach the competition's Top 3.
