The FPT Under 35 Challenge is set to showcase the innovative spirit of young professionals as they prepare for the decisive AI Video Challenge. This year's competition is particularly intense, with many participants emphasizing the importance of creativity and flexibility alongside their technical skills.

Lê Đình Duy, Deputy Director of the GenAI Product Center at FPT Smart Cloud, noted that while familiarity with AI is essential, the ability to think creatively will provide a significant advantage. He is meticulously preparing for the upcoming round, hoping to perform well and enhance the visibility of his center. Duy humorously expressed his aspiration to make it to the top 13 to treat his colleagues to a meal.

Another participant, Đỗ Hà Kiều My from FPT Japan, is keen on learning from previous contestants to improve her chances. After being selected in the top 50, she received congratulations from colleagues, which motivated her to prepare diligently for the next round. For her, the FPT Under 35 Challenge is not just a competition; it is an opportunity to reflect on her five-year journey at FPT and set clearer goals for the future.

Hoàng Đức Minh, the youngest contestant in this year's top 50, views his age as a reminder of the continuous learning ahead. He is balancing his busy work schedule with preparations for the competition, planning to consult with past contestants to gather insights and strategies for the FPT Challenge.

For Lê Tăng Có, a technical officer at FPT Telecom, being in the top 50 is a recognition of his team’s collective effort. He shared that the support from his colleagues is a significant motivator as he approaches the final round, where encouragement will serve as a vital source of strength.

The FPT Challenge will take place on August 4-5, where the top 13 talents of 2026 will be announced. The competition for an advantage has already begun with the AI Video Challenge, which accounts for 30% of the final score. Participants can gain additional points through public voting on the program's website, with the voting portal closing at noon on August 2.
