At the opening ceremony, Markus Baur, CEO of Axon Active, expressed his positive outlook on the event: “DevDay, initiated by Axon Active and co-organized with Duy Tan University for the first time in its 7th season, has greatly benefitted from the enthusiastic collaboration with the university. Choosing "AInovation" as this year’s theme addresses not just a new trend but offers a positive outlook on the future of IT. AI might render routine programming jobs obsolete, but there will always be a demand for real technical work. Communication skills and professional expertise will become increasingly crucial, making extensive experience in a specific field essential. My advice to young people is to view AI as an opportunity. Position yourself as a true engineer, invest in your communication skills, and gain deep knowledge in a field you are passionate about. This will place you in a strong position to thrive amidst the AI-driven transformation.”
