Hanoi (VNA) – Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Damhas signed a decision on adjustments and supplements to a number ofarticles of Decision 1851/QD-TTg dated December 27, 2018 by the PrimeMinister approving a project to promote the transfer,mastering and development of foreign technologies to Vetnam in prioritised industries andfields to 2025 with an orientation to 2030.
Accordingly, by 2025, Vietnam expects to build a database on4,000 dossiers of foreign technologies, receive the transfer of 400technologies from abroad, and master 10 technologies. The respective figuresare expected to reach 10,000, 1,000 and 30 by 2030.
As many as 4,000 technicians and administrators inbusinesses and organisations are hoped to receive training on seeking,decoding, mastering and transferring technologies through both direct andonline formats by 2025, which will increase to 10,000 by 2030. Meanwhile, anetwork of 200 and 500 international technology partners is expected to be setup by 2025 and 2030, respectively.

The number of FDI projects that include the transfer of technologiesto local firms is hoped to increase 10 percent each year by 2025 and 15 percentper year by 2030. At the same time, 30 percent of businesses producingmajor products in prioritised areas are expected to build their own researchand development facilities serving the transfer and absorption of technologies. Thepercentage is expected to increase to 70 percent by 2030.
Under the new decision, greater attention will be paid to enhancing human resource quality through the in-depth training at home and abroad and invitingforeign experts to work and give training in Vietnam.
Along with receiving assistance to improve their capacity toseek, negotiate, evaluate, transfer and absorb technologies, businesses andorganisations will be supported to implement projects to transfer, decode,master and develop technologies from abroad to Vietnam, according to thedecision./.
The Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) will speed up a scheme on promoting the transfer, mastery, and development of technology from abroad in priority fields to 2025 with orientations to 2030.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has issued a decision promulgating the organisational and working statutes of the National Technology Innovation Fund (NATIF).
Hanoi wants to step up technology transfer and experience sharing with Singapore, Secretary of the municipal Party’s Committee Dinh Tien Dung told Singaporean Foreign Minister Vivan Balakrishnan during their meeting in Hanoi on June 22.
Vietnam is set to master the production technology of 10 vaccines used for humans and be capable of producing at least three by 2025, according to a national sci-tech programme on human vaccine production research by 2030 freshly approved by Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam.
VietNEST (Vietnamese Nurturing Education for Science & Traditions) is a mobile app and digital platform for Vietnamese language learning among overseas children.
The networks bring together universities, research institutes and domestic and foreign businesses. Members will work closely in training, research, and technology transfer by sharing curricula, improving faculty capacity, providing access to laboratories and research facilities, and jointly implementing science and technology projects.
The Better Choice Awards (BCA) 2025 is a key highlight in the lead-up to Vietnam Innovation Day that falls on October 1, an annual event expected to attract hundreds of innovative enterprises, research institutions, investment funds, and startups from both Vietnam and abroad.
The new line serves as a critical backup route, strategically complementing existing submarine cables and enhancing the resilience, proactivity, and security of Vietnam’s telecommunications infrastructure.
Vietnam is actively yet cautiously preparing for the construction of its first nuclear power plant in Ninh Thuan (now the south-central coastal province of Khanh Hoa). The resumption of the programme after years of suspension carries considerable significance for the nation’s development in a new era as it strives to gradually reduce and ultimately phase out coal-fired power to realise the Government’s commitment to Net Zero by 2050.
The government leader reaffirmed Vietnam’s goal of achieving self-reliance in the design, manufacturing, and test of necessary semiconductor chips by no later than 2027.
With the launching of its two-tier local administration model, the city is incorporating technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain to enhance service delivery for citizens and businesses, aligning with the Politburo’s Resolution 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation.
Vietnam has issued many key policies to support semiconductor development, notably the Politburo’s Resolution 57 on science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation. Other initiatives include the Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2050, and the Human Resources Development Programme for the Semiconductor Industry.
Vietnam is no longer just an emerging blockchain market, it is stepping into a leadership role, with global investors, developers, and experts recognising its growing potential to become a leading hub for digital assets in the region.
Taking place on August 1–2, the event features more than 20,000 attendees and over 200 speakers from Vietnam, the h Korea, Singapore, the UAE, Hong Kong (China) and the US.
Dung directed the Ministry of Science and Technology to revise the national startup scheme, ensuring it clearly defines the scope and content, grounded on strong political and legal foundations, international best practices, and well-reasoned arguments for submission to the Government.
The two-day academic forum, themed “Resilience, Sustainability & Digital Transformation in a Changing World: Perspectives from Southeast Asia”, aims to share interdisciplinary research insights, focusing on adaptive capacity, sustainable development, and digital transformation amid evolving global and regional landscapes.
With such a rapid economic growth, Vietnam must diversify energy sources and nuclear power is a rational choice to ensure the national energy security, said Associate Professor Kei Koga from the Nanyang Technological University (Singapore).
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung emphasised that Vietnam has a clear strategy and ambition in this field, and is rapidly emerging as a central hub and key link in the regional and global semiconductor value chains.
According to Cushman & Wakefield’s latest Asia-Pacific Data Centre Investment Landscape report, Vietnam now ranks second in the region for data centre investment returns, with a yield on cost (YoC) of 17.5–18.8%, just behind Singapore’s 21–23%.
Vietnam is taking drastic yet cautious steps in building a culture of nuclear safety and security, with the aim of having its first nuclear power plant operational by the end of 2030 and using this specific energy source effectively and sustainably.
Vietnam’s 5G strategy has been clearly outlined in national digital technology and infrastructure policies. A wide range of solutions is being vigorously implemented to achieve the target of an average internet speed of 100 Mbps by 2025 and full nationwide 5G coverage by 2030.
The visit aimed to assess the new two-tier local government model, preparations for upcoming Party congresses at levels, and implementation of the Politburo’s Conclusion on school construction in border areas.
Under the theme “Breakthrough Era with the Development of Industrial Internet”, the event gathered over 400 delegates, including senior officials, leading Internet experts, and technology engineers from Vietnam and abroad.
