The Surprise at the Exhibition Under Resolution No. 68 in the National Assembly
HANOI, Vietnam, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CT Group is one of the few entities selected to participate in the exhibition organized to implement Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW. This is not a regular exhibition or trade fair, but one designed to establish a showcase space, highlight achievements in private sector development, and display products from private enterprises. At the exhibition themed 'Resolution No. 68 – A New Driver for Vietnam's Private Economic Development', held at the National Assembly Building (Ba Dinh, Hanoi) on May 18–19, 2025, CT Group and its member tech companies showcased pioneering technological solutions. These are not only the results of research and development, but also a testament to the intrinsic capacity and long-term vision of a high-tech private sector force that is actively contributing to shaping a new development structure for the country. General Secretary To Lam took the time to visit CT Group's booth not only reflects the attention of top leadership but also affirms the increasingly prominent role of the private sector in the innovation Secretary To Lam, State President Luong Cuong, and National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man visited CT Group's technology booth Three Solutions Paving the Way Toward an Independent and Sustainable Future The centerpiece of the exhibition space was a passenger-carrying unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) — the most advanced UAV technology developed by CT UAV, a member company of CT Group. With a top speed of 190 km/h, a continuous flight time of two hours, and an operating range of 350 kilometers, this vehicle marks a significant leap forward in the development of smart and eco-friendly transportation. Following a successful test flight at 1:6 scale, the full-sized 1:1 prototype is expected to debut in October 2025. As urban infrastructure approaches its limits, this personal aircraft developed by Vietnamese engineers carries high hopes for reshaping the future of transportation. Another key point is the semiconductor chip manufacturing plant by CT Semiconductor, also part of CT Group, which began its second phase of construction on April 30 in Binh Duong. This is the first ATP chip factory in Vietnam developed with domestically owned technology. Scheduled to begin operations in Q4 2025, the plant not only aims to produce 100 million chips annually by 2027, but also places strong emphasis on research and development. With over 10% of its budget allocated to R&D, the company has a clear strategic direction: not just participating in the semiconductor market, but progressively mastering core technologies for AI, 6G, and unmanned aerial vehicles — all of which are expected to have profound impacts in the near future. Taking a different approach, CT Group continues to assert its pioneering role through its solution for the carbon credit market — a rapidly emerging sector in the era of global green transformation. The ASEAN Carbon Credit Trading Platform (CCTPA), a leading Vietnamese company in verification, creation, consulting, trading, and custody of carbon credits, stands at the forefront of this initiative. CCTPA is building a comprehensive ecosystem that spans from emission measurement using UAVs (CarbonFly), to automated emissions inventory through the platform, and ESG consulting for green transformation in businesses. More than just providing access to international carbon markets, CCTPA equips enterprises with new competitive capabilities, enabling them to meet the increasingly stringent sustainability requirements of global trade. Tech-Driven Private Sector: A Catalyst for Realizing Resolution No. 68 The policy for private sector development aims to expand and enhance the role of this sector in productivity, innovation, and economic integration. In this context, CT Group has emerged as a concrete example of a corporation that is not only growing, but also undergoing a transformation from a multi-industry enterprise into an innovation hub with a clear focus on core technologies. Rather than spreading investments thinly or chasing trends, CT Group focuses on sectors with the potential to create deep and lasting impact on the economy — such as future transportation infrastructure, semiconductors as the foundation of the digital industry, and the carbon credit market, a new pillar of the green economy. What CT Group is doing, building an ecosystem of nine core 4.0 technologies, not only contributes to achieving private sector development goals but also shapes a modern private enterprise model oriented toward technological autonomy and sustainable growth. After 33 years of steadfast growth, CT Group is not simply expanding — it is redefining the role of the private sector within Vietnam's economic structure. Its presence at the exhibition goes beyond the product showcase; it represents a tangible possibility: that Vietnam can rise through technologies developed, mastered, and deployed by domestic enterprises. CT Group's commitment to pursuing a strategy of mastering core 4.0 technologies reflects its responsibility in contributing to the sustainable development of the national economy.

Bridgespan Research Charts Pathways for Nonprofits to Scale Impact Without Unsustainable Organizational Growth
Boston, April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Two new articles from The Bridgespan Group present updated insights into how nonprofits and NGOs can address social problems at scale without unsustainable organizational growth, revisiting and building on Bridgespan's 2014 article Transformative Scale: The Future of Growing What Works. The first article, A New Look at Strategic Pathways for Solving Social Problems at Scale, examines strategies used by 80 mission-driven organizations—two-thirds of them working outside the US—to create lasting, systemic change. Through interviews with 11 organizational leaders and an in-depth analysis of sector trends, the research identifies eight major pathways nonprofits and NGOs use to amplify impact while maintaining operational sustainability. Advertisement 'We hope this research serves as a guide for nonprofit leaders evaluating how to scale their impact while navigating resource constraints,' said co-author Marina Fisher, a Bridgespan partner. 'The study underscores that no single approach is universally best; rather, organizations must align their choice of scaling pathways with their expertise, the nature of the problem, and the broader ecosystem working toward social change. The research categorizes the eight pathways into three strategic approaches: Spreading a Solution : Equipping other organizations with proven models or providing direct public access to solutions. : Equipping other organizations with proven models or providing direct public access to solutions. Changing Enabling Conditions : Influencing public policy, business practices, and societal mindsets to foster systemic change. : Influencing public policy, business practices, and societal mindsets to foster systemic change. Cultivating Coordinated Action: Mobilizing coalitions, providing shared infrastructure, and empowering communities to drive self-directed change. The second article, Three Questions for Nonprofits That Want to Solve Social Problems at Scale, addresses essential strategic questions nonprofit leaders must answer to effectively scale impact: What is the highest-impact role our organization can play? Leaders must identify their organization's unique contribution within a broader ecosystem of change. Case studies of organizations such as HealthySteps and Tenure Facility highlight how aligning internal expertise with systemic needs can maximize impact. What capabilities and structures are needed to succeed? Effective scaling may require investments in capabilities such as policy advocacy, implementation support, and coalition-building. Examples from Global Fishing Watch, Educate Girls, and Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator demonstrate how organizations can build new competencies to sustain growth. How can organizations continuously learn and adapt? As social and political landscapes shift, successful organizations must remain flexible. The research underscores the importance of ongoing measurement, collaboration, and innovation to ensure sustained impact over time. In today's dynamic political landscape, such adaptation and flexibility are more important than ever. The authors acknowledged that there are no easy answers or choices to make on the big questions about an organization's choice of pathways, capability investments, and adaptation over time. Said Bridgespan Manager and report co-author Alyson Zandt, 'Indeed, what makes these questions so vital for leaders to focus on is that they all involve making tradeoffs and managing tensions. What unites the most successful organization is their grit to keep going, sometimes in the face of strong headwinds. Solving social problems at scale is a long-term effort, and perseverance can be an organization's greatest asset.'

As a mother, Wendy shares her own pain, struggles, and ultimate growth through writing in an effort to provide understanding, hope, and connection to other parents and families going through similar experiences.
