Chairing a thematic session on science, technology and innovation in Hanoi on June 23, Le Minh Hung, Head of the Government Steering Committee on science and technology development, innovation, digital transformation and Project 06, said the meeting focused on breakthroughs in core technologies, strategic products and strategic technologies.

The discussions are intended to support the completion of the national digital architecture framework.

According to the Government leader, the framework serves as a foundational platform from central to local levels to ensure consistency and coordination.

This also includes completing and operating data systems to support government leadership and administration at all levels, while improving the delivery of online public services for people and businesses.

The PM stated that a decision has been issued on the list of strategic technologies and products. However, awareness and implementation remain unclear in some areas, requiring greater alignment in implementation to ensure substance and effectiveness while avoiding a rush for quick results or work driven purely by deadlines.

Policy and institutional bottlenecks must be clearly identified in order to shorten the time from research to product development and market entry, he added, while underlining the need for breakthrough and specialised financial mechanisms to support science, technology and innovation.

PM Hung also stressed clear role assignments among ministries, sectors, localities, research institutes, universities and businesses to ensure proactive participation.

He asked localities to identify priority development challenges based on their specific strengths and advantages in order to build suitable strategic product portfolios tailored to local socio-economic development needs, rather than pursuing overly broad registrations.

He also called for stronger mechanisms and practical solutions to remove obstacles in managing, operating, using and sharing laboratory infrastructure.

The Government chief encouraged private enterprises to invest in, operate and utilise research and testing infrastructure, as well as commercialise strategic technology products, particularly in areas with strong potential for early implementation.
