Villathon is Mynavi TechTus Vietnam’s annual innovation event, designed to bring Techies together to learn, create, and collaborate. Through team-based challenges, the program encourages employees to explore new ideas, apply technology to real business needs, and strengthen teamwork beyond their day-to-day work.

In 2025, Villathon returned with the theme “Shaping Tomorrow with AI.” Over the course of a 2-day, 1-night event, 8 teams worked closely together to build products, present their ideas, and engage in open discussions with the judging panel.

Highlights of Villathon 2025

Villathon 2025 was held in the peaceful outskirts of Hue City. Surrounded by green hills and a quiet stream, the location offered a refreshing break from the usual work environment and created a comfortable setting for teams to relax, recharge, and connect.

Despite the calm surroundings, the program kept the full spirit of a hackathon. From brainstorming and topic selection to solution design, product development, and final pitching, all 8 teams showed strong focus and commitment. By combining creativity with teamwork, the teams delivered 8 practical solutions aligned with the theme “Shaping Tomorrow with AI.”

A High-Energy Two-Day Journey

Day 1 focused on building and refining products. Teams spent the day developing their ideas, while evening activities helped everyone unwind and reconnect after long working hours.

At the end of the day, teams presented demos and received direct feedback from Tech Leads. These sessions helped teams improve their solutions and prepare more confidently for the final pitch.

Day 2 marked the most intense part of Villathon 2025. Each team had 20 minutes to present—10 minutes for pitching and 10 minutes for Q&A with the judges. Beyond presentations, teams actively discussed their ideas, answered challenges, and clearly defended their solutions.
