The use of mathematics, data science, and artificial intelligence (AI) has become the cornerstone of contemporary financial solutions in light of the explosive growth of digital finance and the growing demand for real-time data analytics. Considering this, EAERA and the Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (VIASM) have partnered for the 2026–2028 timeframe with the goal of advancing applied research and implementing data-driven and AI-driven technologies in Vietnam’s financial industry.
EAERA, a leading fintech company, has announced a long-term collaboration with the Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (VIASM) to promote Applied Mathematics, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in real-time financial data analytics in Vietnam during 2026–2028.
This initiative is part of the EAERA Science & Technology Development Fund, reflecting EAERA’s strategic vision to bridge scientific research with practical fintech applications and support Vietnam’s National AI Strategy to 2030.
1. The EAERA – VIASM Partnership: A Significant Milestone
Amid the unprecedented growth of the digital finance sector, real-time trading data is becoming increasingly massive, complex, and demanding of precise, instant processing. In this context, the application of mathematics and AI in real-time data analysis has become a critical factor for success.
EAERA has recognized this opportunity and determined that creating contemporary, safe, and effective fintech solutions requires a bridge between academia and industry. By collaborating with VIASM, both parties can take advantage of their complementary strengths, including top-tier, seasoned teams' advanced mathematical and artificial intelligence expertise, which creates new opportunities for creating scalable financial data analytics solutions.

2. Strategic Pillars: Research – Collaboration – Investment
The EAERA – VIASM partnership program is built on three strategic pillars, a which aims to foster innovation in Vietnam and generate long-term value for the digital finance industry.
Applied Research
High-impact applied research that tackles practical fintech issues is jointly prioritized by EAERA and VIASM. Fraud detection, transaction risk modeling, identifying anomalous behavior, and early-warning systems for possible problems in real-time financial data streams are important areas of focus. In addition to improving the precision and dependability of financial operations, these initiatives provide institutions with the confidence they need to make prompt, data-driven decisions.
Academic–Industry Collaboration
VIASM, the program's first academic partner, is essential in bringing together top scientists from around the world with fintech companies. This partnership makes it possible to develop, validate, and optimize cutting-edge algorithms, mathematical models, and AI techniques using actual operational data. The program speeds up the development of reliable, scalable solutions designed for contemporary financial infrastructures by connecting theoretical research with real-world implementation.
Startup Ecosystem Development
The program emphasizes developing a thriving startup ecosystem in AI, Big Data, and financial risk intelligence in addition to supporting research and technological advancements. In addition to providing seed-stage funding and technical and strategic support, EAERA will work with up-and-coming teams to co-develop products. These initiatives aim to nurture innovation, empower new ventures, and contribute to the broader evolution of Vietnam's digital finance landscape and knowledge-driven economy.

3. Benefits and Long-Term Vision
Through this program, EAERA aims to create long-lasting impact not only for the company but also for the broader digital finance landscape in Vietnam. The partnership lays the groundwork for a time when real-time data processing, artificial intelligence, and sophisticated mathematics will form the backbone of contemporary financial infrastructure.
Promote applied mathematics in real-time financial data analytics: By embedding sophisticated mathematical modeling into large-scale streaming data systems, EAERA and VIASM seek to enhance the accuracy, transparency, and predictive capabilities of financial analytics. In quickly changing financial environments, this strategy promotes stronger risk mitigation, more accurate forecasting, and more astute market insights.
Develop AI models for automated risk and fraud detection: The collaboration speeds up the creation of AI-powered systems that can recognize irregularities, spot fraud, and evaluate risk in milliseconds. These models improve operational losses, boost financial security, and support a more reliable and stable financial system.
Strengthen knowledge transfer between academia and industry: The partnership promotes ongoing knowledge sharing through collaborative research projects, expert workshops, and specialized training courses. While industry demands guide new research directions, academic findings are translated into workable solutions, guaranteeing that technological development stays both inventive and pertinent.
Build an innovation-driven fintech ecosystem in Vietnam: EAERA wants to contribute to the development of a vibrant and sustainable fintech landscape by fostering multi-sector collaboration, empowering early-stage startups, and supporting young talent. As part of the nation's larger shift to a knowledge-based economy, this long-term vision positions Vietnam as a developing regional center for AI-driven, data-intensive financial technologies.
“We believe that connecting research institutes, startups, and enterprises will create a sustainable FinTech ecosystem that delivers real value to society,” said an EAERA representative.
4. EAERA–VIASM: Bridging Research and Application
In the quickly changing field of digital finance, the strategic alliance between EAERA and VIASM creates a trailblazing model that successfully connects academic research with practical application. The partnership builds a strong foundation for innovation based on academic excellence by fusing VIASM's solid foundation in both fundamental and applied mathematics with EAERA's technological know-how.
VIASM, which is well-known both domestically and abroad, will collaborate closely with EAERA to promote extensive knowledge-transfer programs, cultivate top talent, and improve ties between mathematicians, data scientists, and fintech professionals. Through this exchange, academic discoveries are not limited to research papers but are instead turned into useful tools, models, and algorithms that can be used in financial settings.
Crucially, the collaboration greatly broadens the focus of applied research in AI, data science, and finance. The partnership promotes the development of sophisticated, scalable solutions that can boost forecasting models, improve analytical accuracy, and fortify risk management systems by utilizing real-time financial datasets and practical operational challenges. These results promote safer, more open, and more robust financial operations, which eventually help to modernize Vietnam's fintech scene.
