This year, contestants were tasked with a topical challenge: design environmentally friendly solutions to reduce fashion waste from product returns, and develop an innovative strategy to enter a selected international market. Their ideas demonstrated critical thinking, creativity and a deep understanding of sustainable business solutions relevant to today’s global context.

Since 2012, the FedEx/JA ITC program has reached more than 4,500 Vietnamese students, nurturing a generation of forward-thinking youth with the drive to innovate and lead. Vietnamese students have continued to make their mark on the regional stage, winning second place in the Asia-Pacific finals in 2018 and winning first place in 2023.

Entering its 13th year, FedEx/JA ITC in Vietnam continues to inspire and equip high school students with essential skills and global business acumen. Delivered in partnership with JA Vietnam, a non-profit organization whose mission is to prepare Vietnamese youth for success in the international economy, the program includes hands-on workshops and collaborative challenges that bring international trade to life through real-world experiences.
