SuperEdge AI Summit 2025 brought Da Nang, Columbia University researchers, and enterprises together around AI and verifiable data infrastructure.
TL;DR: On November 27, 2025, SuperEdge, the Da Nang People's Committee, and AI Research Labs at Columbia University held SuperEdge AI Summit 2025. City leaders, international researchers, universities, enterprises, and startups met to discuss AI, Verifiable Data Infrastructure, smart cities, and public finance built on global standards.
A city's AI plans are only as strong as the data underneath them. That was the throughline at SuperEdge AI Summit 2025, where Da Nang's push into applied AI met the question of how to keep the data behind it trustworthy.
Inside the Da Nang AI Summit
SuperEdge AI Summit 2025 ran as a working forum for Da Nang's AI plans, connecting city government priorities with international research, enterprise experience, and the startup ecosystem.
Together with the Da Nang People's Committee and AI Research Labs at Columbia University, SuperEdge welcomed representatives from city departments, universities, research institutes, technology corporations, AI and blockchain investment funds, and startups. Participants discussed how Da Nang can strengthen its AI ecosystem through international research collaboration, advanced data infrastructure, and talent development.
SuperEdge introduces the AI and Web3 Innovation Hub during SuperEdge AI Summit 2025 in Da Nang.Key discussion areas included decentralized AI, Verifiable Data Infrastructure and standards, AI for smart cities and public finance, and AI models built around global standards. The central theme was the role of transparent, secure, and verifiable data in public-service systems and urban governance.
On the sidelines of the summit, the Da Nang People's Committee and SecureFinAI Research Labs of Columbia University signed a cooperation agreement to train high-quality AI talent, expand research collaboration, and support the technology infrastructure behind Da Nang's digital economy. For SuperEdge, the agreement showed its role in bringing local government priorities and global research networks into the same room.
A City-Scale Push for Verifiable AI
The summit showed why Da Nang is becoming a proving ground for applied AI, smart-city systems, and Verifiable Data Infrastructure.
Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People's Committee Ho Quang Buu speaks at SuperEdge AI Summit 2025.To build stronger technology, finance, and innovation capacity, a city needs AI that sits on data that is clean, transparent, secure, and verifiable. The summit returned to this point across public finance, urban services, administration, traffic coordination, tourism, environmental monitoring, and disaster warning.
Working with Columbia University's research ecosystem also reflects the kind of long-term capacity building Vietnam's AI development needs. Training local talent, expanding research capacity, and building trusted data infrastructure are the groundwork for AI systems that can run at city scale.
Vietnam as a Meeting Point
The summit set out Vietnam's role as a practical meeting point between global research, local government goals, and enterprise adoption. By bringing Da Nang together with SecureFinAI and Columbia University, SuperEdge put AI infrastructure, verifiable data, public-sector use cases, and talent training in one conversation.
That direction lines up with a wider shift across APAC, where cities and enterprises want digital transformation that keeps transparency, security, and accountability intact. For Da Nang, the summit was a concrete step from ambition toward coordinated action.
The summit was also covered by Vietnam's national and business media, including the Ministry of Science and Technology and VnEconomy.
Work With Orochi Network
Deploying AI in any environment makes data trust the deciding factor. That is the gap Orochi Network closes with zkDatabase, generating Zero-Knowledge Proofs for every operation so the data behind an AI or finance system stays verifiable without exposing it.
