Unitsky String Technologies signs cooperation agreements with three Vietnamese partners, opening a new direction for smart mobility and sustainable development

DNHN - The signing ceremony took place in Minsk, Belarus, on November 28, 2025.

Unitsky String Technologies (UST), a leading Belarusian technology group, officially signed comprehensive cooperation agreements with the Vietnam Automation Association (VAA), the Institute for Development Consultancy (CODE), and Business & Integration Magazine.

The signing ceremony took place during the working visit of a high-level Vietnamese delegation to Belarus, marking a new milestone in promoting smart transportation technologies and sustainable development solutions for Vietnam.

Opening a new chapter in Vietnam - Belarus cooperation

On November 27, 2025, at UST’s headquarters in Minsk, the parties signed multiple Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs). These agreements establish a strategic foundation for deeper cooperation between the two countries’ enterprises and institutions in the years ahead.

Aligned with the Strategic Partnership between Belarus and Vietnam, the cooperation aims to expand scientific–technological exchange, foster business connectivity, and accelerate the development of modern transportation models.

Participants included Ms. Nadezhda Kosareva, CEO of Unitsky String Technologies Inc.; Prof. Dr. Le Hung Lan, Vice President of the Vietnam Automation Association; Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan Huong, Editor-in-Chief of Business & Integration Magazine; and Mr. Le Anh Hoang, Deputy Director of CODE.

Representatives emphasized their commitment to jointly conducting research, applying advanced technologies, and transferring solutions—particularly in urban transportation, where Vietnam urgently needs breakthrough innovations to address congestion, pollution, and climate challenges.

Focusing on technology transfer and human resource development

Under the MoUs, UST will collaborate with VAA and CODE across key areas such as R&D, technology transfer, and workforce development. At the center of this effort is UST’s elevated string-rail smart transport technology—renowned for its energy efficiency, reasonable investment cost, and environmental friendliness.

The parties will also explore high-speed inter-regional mobility models, energy-saving transport solutions aligned with digital and green transformation goals, renewable-energy-powered systems, and circular-production models. Several pilot sandbox projects are under consideration in Vietnam to evaluate feasibility before potential commercialization.

Human resource training in transportation engineering, automation, and smart mobility is highlighted as a critical requirement for Vietnam to absorb and localize next-generation technologies.

Strengthening communication and investment linkages for key projects

Beyond science and technology cooperation, the agreement between UST and Business & Integration Magazine aims to enhance public awareness, promote investment opportunities, and expand technology outreach.

Joint communication programs, expert forums, and thematic seminars will be organized to showcase the value and potential of UST’s technologies.

Commercial projects will also receive targeted media coverage across strategic economic corridors, Hanoi - Noi Bai - Hai Phong, Ho Chi Minh City - Long An - Vung Tau - Binh Duong, and Quang Tri - Thua Thien Hue - Da Nang - Hoi An - areas with strong potential for smart mobility and sustainable urban development.

Experiencing UST technology firsthand in Belarus

On this occasion, the Vietnamese delegation, comprising representatives from government agencies, enterprises, academia, and the press, visited key UST facilities. The delegation received a comprehensive briefing at UST Inc., experienced the elevated string-rail system at EcoTechnoPark in Maryina Gorka, and toured the SW Plant, where uPods are manufactured.

Both sides also held detailed discussions on the possibility of technology localization and reviewed six potential string-rail projects in Vietnam. Routes under preliminary consideration include Linh Nam – Gia Binh Airport (Hanoi), Phan Van Tri – Tan Chanh Hiep (Ho Chi Minh City), and a proposed UST mobility corridor encircling the capital via Soc Son – Son Tay – Hoa Lac – Xuan Mai – Phu Xuyen.

Several advantages are ideal for Vietnam’s urban landscape

The UST string-transport system offers several advantages that align well with Vietnam’s dense and high-growth urban areas. It requires significantly less energy than conventional electric vehicles, operates fully autonomously, and eliminates collision risks with ground-level traffic. It also performs safely under extreme weather conditions such as storms, flooding, snow, or sandstorms.

Investment and operating costs are estimated to be 4% to 50% lower than traditional metro, light rail, or cable-car systems.

Thanks to its lightweight structure, the elevated string-rail system can be integrated into existing urban spaces without major infrastructure reconfiguration—making it a practical solution for expanding public transport networks while preserving urban aesthetics.

The signing of the MoUs between Unitsky String Technologies and its three Vietnamese partners represents more than a technology agreement. It lays the groundwork for long-term research collaboration, innovation programs, investment connectivity, and sustainable mobility initiatives.

With the involvement of scientific organizations, media institutions, and development consultancies, Vietnam is expected to explore and deploy future-ready mobility models that are modern, efficient, and environmentally friendly.
