We’re proud to officially announce that HEX and Windsor-Essex Education Development Company (WEDC) have entered into a formal agreement to deliver bold, future-focused education across Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

What began as a promising Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has now been fully solidified with the signing of a formal Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), personally signed by Jeanette Cheah, Co-Founder and CEO of HEX, during her visit to Ho Chi Minh City

The MOA ceremony was officiated and witnessed by Trang Vu, Landing Pad Manager at Austrade, he Australian Government’s trade and investment agency, which supports Australian businesses in exporting, scaling, and growing in global markets.

This strategic collaboration unlocks powerful new opportunities for learners in Vietnam to access real-world innovation education, with programs spanning AI, finance, entrepreneurship, and cross-border collaboration.

About the Partnership

The initial MOU ceremony was led by Jaclyn Benstead, Co-Founder and New Markets Lead at HEX. Representing HEX on the ground, Jaclyn met with WEDC leadership to set the foundation for a shared mission: helping Vietnamese students develop future-ready skills and global mindsets.

Now, with the MOA formally signed by Jeanette Cheah, the partnership has officially moved from vision to action.

As part of this collaboration, WEDC students will soon gain access to HEX-designed programs including:

• AI Innovation Labs
  
  Helping students build digital literacy and explore real-world tech applications.
  
  
• Banking Innovation Sprints
  
  Where finance meets future thinking and design-led problem solving.
  ‍
• Cross-border immersion experiences in Singapore and Vietnam
  
  To help learners grow through international exposure and startup-led learning.
