Amid the dynamics of increasingly competitive global technological competition, Vietnam is now taking strategic steps through the implementation of Resolution 57-NQ/TW. This policy serves as a main catalyst for the development of science, innovation, and national digital transformation, which are viewed as crucial pillars for the country's security and strategic sovereignty.
During the evaluation conference on the implementation of the resolution, General Secretary and President To Lam emphasized that mastering technology is not just an option, but a necessity to avoid the risk of falling behind. He urged a paradigm shift, where the primary focus must transition from merely completing administrative tasks to creating technological products with real economic value.
The private sector now plays a central role as the driver of the innovation ecosystem. Large companies such as Vingroup, FPT Group, and Viettel have taken concrete steps by investing heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) and computing infrastructure. These initiatives not only demonstrate the ambition of industry players but also prove Vietnam's ability to build an independent technological foundation.
The Vietnamese government is also committed to continuously improving regulations and removing bureaucratic hurdles to facilitate research and development. By leveraging its demographic dividend, young engineering workforce, and global network of technology experts, Vietnam aims to create a conducive ecosystem for the emergence of knowledge-based innovations.
This progressive step is believed to be the driving force for sustainable economic growth. Through close collaboration between the public and private sectors, Vietnam is determined to achieve technological self-reliance while realizing its vision of becoming a high-income developed country by 2045.
