There were lecturers from the Faculty of Chemical Technology and students from both faculties involved in the project.
On August 7, at IUH, students from both universities presented a project on mouthwash and other oral care products developed over the past year, under the guidance of their professors. The following day, the delegation visited Phuong Thanh Dental Enterprise in Dong Thap province to gather feedback and discuss the commercialization potential of the introduced products. Experts praised the quality and packaging of the products, noting that the project could become a significant startup idea.
