The VinFuture Prize was established in 2020 by Vingroup, honoring breakthrough scientific and technological inventions with the potential to create meaningful changes in life. Every year, the awards have a total value of 4.5 million USD (more than 118 billion VND), including a Grand Prize worth 3 million USD (about nearly 79 billion VND) and three Special Prizes, each worth 500,000 USD (more than 13 billion VND). Three Special Prizes are for female scientists; scientists from developing countries; scientists with outstanding achievements in new fields.
After 5 seasons, VinFuture has awarded a total of 20 prizes to 48 scientists from 5 continents, recognizing their great contributions to the development of humanity. The prestige of the award is also affirmed when many scientists after receiving the VinFuture Prize continue to be honored at other prestigious awards such as Nobel Prize, Queen Elizabeth Technique or Breakthrough.
