To enhance the practical relevance of the programme, HaUI proposed incorporating a university–industry collaboration model. Under this approach, Chinese-invested enterprises operating in Viet Nam would be encouraged to participate in curriculum implementation by providing tuition support, language training, internship opportunities, and graduate employment pathways. The two universities also discussed expanding postgraduate scholarships and establishing a co-supervision mechanism for master's and doctoral students.

Scientific research was identified as another strategic pillar of the partnership. Building on complementary strengths, the two institutions agreed to explore the establishment of an international joint laboratory focusing on green energy, wind power, and energy storage technologies, with potential funding support from the Chinese Government and the Shanghai Municipal Government.

Both universities also agreed to institutionalize annual faculty and student exchanges, academic summer schools, and other collaborative programmes as an initial step toward broader strategic cooperation. These initiatives are expected to strengthen institutional connectivity and provide a solid foundation for the implementation of larger-scale joint research and education projects. On behalf of Shanghai University of Electric Power, Ms. Zhang Yanlin, Deputy Secretary of the CPC Committee, extended an invitation to the leadership of Hanoi University of Industry to attend the University's 75th Anniversary Celebration in October 2026.
