Blue Dragon Community

The Blue Dragon Community serves as both an online and offline platform designed to support and ensure the accessibility of information within the community which is formed from the officials/experts of our Provincial Partners (local government), trainers from Can Tho University and Dutch Water Authorities and extending possibilities to relevant stakeholders. Even in the absence of an active pool on a specific topic, the community remains dynamic and engaged through regular training sessions and meetings hosted by Blue Dragon Academy participants, in collaboration with CTU. These initiatives encourage professionals to continue discussions within the online community and foster cooperation, benefiting both individuals and the broader network.

The primary goal is to facilitate quadruple helix collaboration across the public and private sectors, knowledge institutions, and civil society.

To date, the Blue Dragon Community has successfully organized three major events:

  • 2022: Blue Deal Congress in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with representatives from the provinces of Kien Giang, Hau Giang, and Can Tho.
  • 2023: Blue Dragon Day at Can Tho University, where the outcomes of Phase 1 were finalized.
  • 2024: Blue Dragon Day at the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Kien Giang, where consultations were held to develop concept designs for the Ecological Embankment Pilot in An Bien District, Rach Gia Province.
