23 Feb, 2026

The University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) Branch in Khanh Hoa Province - UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang, though still a young unit, is gradually shaping its vital role within the UEH system, aligned with the milestone of the University's 50 years of establishment and development. Positioned as "A Convergence of Scholars and a Global Knowledge Connection Hub," this strategic campus is expected to evolve into a driving force contributing practically to the development of the locality and the region.

UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang – From Strategic Presence to Sustainable Development Partnership

With nearly 50 years of establishment and development, UEH has steadfastly pursued a university model closely integrated with the cities and localities where it operates. From Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta with UEH Mekong, and now to UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang, each expansion marks a milestone of long-term, multi-sectoral cooperation that continues to deepen with local communities.

Within this development trajectory, UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang not only expands training space but also demonstrates UEH's commitment to contributing knowledge, academic resources, and national-international networks toward the sustainable development of Khanh Hoa Province and the South Central Coast – Central Highlands region. The campus is positioned as a space for training, research, and knowledge connection linked to the locality's advantageous sectors, including sustainable marine economy, marine spatial planning, ocean technology, microchips, healthcare, and community development.

On August 19, 2025, the UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang project was officially groundbroken as part of the groundbreaking and inauguration ceremony for key national projects commemorating the 80th anniversary of National Day; the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. The project is being developed following a green, smart, and sustainable campus orientation, integrating training and research with environmental, social, and governance responsibilities, thereby laying the foundation for a long-term knowledge space that accompanies the strategic development of the locality and region.

From People to Community: The Foundation for a Journey Alongside Khanh Hoa

Throughout nearly 50 years of establishment and development, UEH has trained generations of human resources who are now living, working, and holding management and executive positions in both public and private sectors in Khanh Hoa Province. Building on this foundation, the formation of UEH Alumni Khanh Hoa is closely linked to the expansion of UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang's presence, contributing to strengthen connections among the university, alumni, businesses, and the locality, while leveraging the knowledge, experience, and social responsibility of the UEH community toward the province's sustainable development.

In parallel with consolidating the alumni network, UEH has identified developing a core personnel team as a pillar in the process of bringing UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang into operation. Through the UEH Global Talent Program implemented since 2025, the university is gradually forming a workforce of lecturers and specialists with professional competence, management mindset, and international integration capabilities, who directly participate in building and operating the campus. This represents a crucial human foundation for realizing the development goals of UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang as an open academic space meeting global standards while remaining closely connected to the needs and development characteristics of the locality.

Nurturing an Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem in Khanh Hoa

Building upon the project currently under construction, UEH has recently received approval from the Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee to invest in the Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center project, covering approximately 2 hectares adjacent to the existing project. This demonstrates UEH's responsibility and commitment to accompany Khanh Hoa Province in its mission of training human resources for the locality in particular and the nation as a whole.

The Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center will serve as a venue for training human resources in technology and innovation fields, as well as a place for conducting research activities on entrepreneurship and innovation within UEH's ecosystem. With this ecosystem, UEH's entrepreneurship and innovation initiatives in each region will maximize the advantages of location and local potential to carry out entrepreneurship and innovation activities, specifically: Promoting education on entrepreneurship and innovation; Developing research and consulting projects; Fostering flexible adaptability and open-minded thinking among lecturers and students; Supporting entrepreneurial initiatives... Phase 1 of the project is expected to break ground in 2026.

For UEH, UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang is not merely an investment project or a new training facility, but a strategic step in the journey of building a university model closely integrated with the locality, with knowledge as the driving force and people at the center. Building on the foundation of long-term, multi-sectoral cooperation with Khanh Hoa Province, this campus is expected to gradually form an innovative academic space with open connections, accompanying the locality in human resource development, promoting innovation, and realizing the sustainable development goals of the South Central Coast – Central Highlands region.
