• At the Job Fair 2023 held in June, Mr. Gerald Ho - General Director of SMC Corporation Vietnam Co. Ltd. and his colleagues attended and signed a MoU with LHU. The MoU aims to boost LHU - SMC cooperation in training and recruitment, and SMC will stand behind and "push the boat" for LHU students in technology competitions, especially donating learning facilities.

• Earlier, SMC directly visited and learned about the aspirations of the Faculty leaders and students, thereby providing devices such as valves, cylinders, sensors, pressure regulators... for robot design. Thanks to this, the robot team of LHU won the Second prize at the 2023 Vietnam Robot Contest. In this category, SMC sponsored LHU students a total amount of more than 75 million VND.
