By hosting the competition, FPT desired to help IT students learn, experience and become one of the core forces to motivate the nation of innovation.

From Maths in Vietnamese, Violympic expanded to Maths in English and Physics. From a scale of 40,000 participants, Violympic has become the "food for thought" of nearly 40 million students in 63 provinces and cities nationwide, with almost 100 million times of practice every year. At moments, Violympic had more than 300 million monthly visitors with about 200,000 simultaneous guests.
