On the afternoon of May 6, 2026, at Hall 6M, Ton Duc Thang University, the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering organized the Student Startup Idea Competition “FEEE Startup Wings 2026” in a vibrant, professional atmosphere filled with creative inspiration. The competition was not only a large-scale academic playground for students passionate about technology and innovation, but also a gathering place for breakthrough ideas, entrepreneurial aspirations, and the pioneering spirit of young engineers in the era of digital transformation.
With the orientation of building a training environment closely connected with practice, innovation, and applied research, FEEE Startup Wings 2026 was held to encourage students to confidently develop technology-based projects capable of addressing practical social issues. At the same time, the competition provided students with opportunities to approach modern entrepreneurial thinking and to strengthen their abilities in business model development, market analysis, product development, project management, presentation skills, and investment pitching.
This year’s competition attracted 11 teams with outstanding ideas that demonstrated modern technological thinking, strong creativity, and clear practical applicability. The projects covered many promising fields, including artificial intelligence (AI), unmanned aerial vehicles, smart homes, automation, renewable energy, healthcare, smart education, and community-support solutions. Going beyond initial ideas, many teams invested effort in developing experimental models, demo products, simulation videos, and specific operating solutions, reflecting the seriousness, dedication, and professional entrepreneurial mindset of students from the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
Throughout the competition, the teams delivered impressive presentations with confidence, logical thinking, and strong critical responses. In-depth questions from the Judging Panel regarding innovation, commercialization potential, market development prospects, socio-economic effectiveness, and product development strategies created a lively, professional, and inspiring academic discussion atmosphere. This served as a valuable opportunity for students to experience a real startup-oriented environment, learn how to defend their ideas, and refine their projects from a business-oriented perspective.
The competition was accompanied by a Judging Panel consisting of experts, lecturers, and business representatives with extensive experience in technology, product research and development, innovation, and entrepreneurship. With practical perspectives and insightful professional comments, the Judging Panel not only evaluated the quality of the projects, but also directly guided the teams in further improving their products, enhancing feasibility, and gradually bringing their ideas closer to the market.
After a series of exciting and creative presentations, the Judging Panel selected the most outstanding projects for awards:
The First Prize went to the project “Wearable Device for Remote Health Monitoring of the Elderly” by students Dang Truong Tri Duc, Nguyen Hoang Phuc, Phan Ngoc Gia Han, Trinh Minh Gia Huy, Trinh Duy Kha, and Bui Thien Phu.
The Second Prize was awarded to the project “Solution for Improving Educational Effectiveness” by students Nguyen Dinh Phuc, Tran Hoang Khang, Tran Huu Loc, Lam Thanh Phat, Nguyen Hai Dang, and Nghiem Xuan Nha.
The Third Prize went to the project “Drone System for Monitoring and Cleaning Solar Panels” by students Le Hoang Huy, Nguyen Hoang Kha, and Tran Huu Thang.
The Consolation Prize was awarded to the project “Drone-based Rescue Solution for Victims in Flood-affected Areas” by students Cao Thanh Luan, Vo Chi Thanh, Huynh Quoc Huy, Nguyen Huu Khang, and Pham Khoa Nam.
More than an academic competition, FEEE Startup Wings 2026 was a vivid demonstration of the spirit of innovation and the strong entrepreneurial aspirations of students from the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Each participating project carried the desire to create value for the community and contribute to solving social issues through technology and creative thinking.
Through the competition, the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering continued to affirm its pioneering role in building a modern training environment, promoting applied research, and developing an innovation and startup ecosystem among students. The competition also opened up opportunities to connect students with enterprises, experts, and startup-support resources, creating a foundation for promising ideas to continue receiving investment, development, and practical implementation in the future.
