With the aim of using advanced technology and sustainable agricultural solutions, HYTERTECH Smart Hydroponic Vegetable Growing Model Project uses AI technology to automatically adjust important factors such as water, light and nutrition, helping plants grow optimally. This system is designed to be flexible, easy to install and can be applied in small spaces, meeting the needs of households who want to grow clean vegetables at home.

Students present their projects to the judges.

Project advisor, Master Vo Hoang Nhan, shared: “The HYTERTECH Smart Hydroponic Vegetable Cultivation Model Project has brought a new direction to urban agriculture, enabling people access organic vegetables right at home without requiring much space. This is a highly feasible idea and aligns perfectly with the trend of developing smart agriculture.”

This is not only a joy but also a motivation for us to continue improving and developing the product. The team's goal is to make the HYTERTECH hydroponic system widely accessible, contributing to the supply of fresh, free-chemical vegetables and protecting the environment.”
