The boost from Resolution 57

Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW represents a significant breakthrough in thinking innovation, demonstrating strong political determination and creating new momentum and enthusiasm throughout society for the development of science and technology, innovation, and national digital transformation.

Affirming its position as a "leading breakthrough"

Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW emphasizes: “Developing science and technology, innovation, and national digital transformation is a top priority breakthrough, the main driving force for the rapid development of modern productive forces, perfecting production relations, reforming national governance methods, developing socio -economic aspects, preventing the risk of backwardness, and enabling the country to achieve breakthrough development and prosperity in the new era.”

This is the new thinking of our Party on the development of science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation.

A key breakthrough is the feasibility of implementing the resolution. For the first time, the General Secretary directly heads the Steering Committee for the implementation of the resolution, alongside an advisory council comprising highly qualified and reputable managers and scientists.

This is evidence of the strengthened leadership of the Party, the mobilization of the combined strength of the entire political system, and the active participation of entrepreneurs, businesses, and the people.

In this model, the people and businesses are at the center, serving as the main subjects, resources, and driving forces; scientists are the key factor; and the State plays a leading role in promoting and creating the most favorable conditions for the development of science and technology, innovation, and national digital transformation.

Thus, moving away from the previous role of "management," this resolution has opened up a new perspective in which the state plays a "governing" role.

In addition, there is an open, creative approach that allows for pilot testing of new practical problems. This involves accepting risks, venture capital, and time lags in scientific research and development.

This represents a significant shift in Vietnam's science management mechanism, encouraging scientists to think outside the box, take initiative, and accept challenging tasks when accessing state budget funds for science and technology and innovation.

Resolution No. 57 stipulates that investment in science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation must be increased. Given that in recent years, state budget spending on science and technology has gradually decreased and often remained below 1% of total state budget expenditure, Resolution 57 sets a target that by 2030, this spending must reach at least 3% and gradually increase according to development requirements.

This will motivate the Vietnamese scientific community and enhance the national science and technology potential.

At the same time, it is necessary to urgently revise, supplement, and comprehensively improve legal regulations on science and technology, investment, public investment, public procurement, state budget, public assets, intellectual property, taxation, etc., in order to remove bottlenecks and barriers, unleash resources, and encourage the development of science and technology and innovation.

Bring the Resolution into practice as soon as possible.

Resolution No. 57 can be seen as a "Resolution to liberate scientific thinking," a "Resolution to implement resolutions," and a "Resolution of action," with very specific goals, innovating ways of thinking and doing, aiming to realize policies, remove barriers, and unleash capabilities to promote breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation, digital transformation, and create a strong foundation for national development in the new era.

In order to effectively and promptly implement the resolution, General Secretary To Lam clearly stated his viewpoint: Always adhere to the principle that investment in science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation is a long-term strategy, accepting delays and risks in implementation.

Party committees and government agencies need to concretize the resolution with practical plans, using the results of implementation as criteria for evaluating emulation and awarding commendations.

In addition, it is necessary to develop a specific plan that closely adheres to the objectives of Resolution No. 57, with clear tasks, specific assignments, completion timelines, and measurable results.

Right now, in 2025, we need to select and address fundamental issues, laying the foundation for the 2026-2030 period, creating a "boost" for new labor productivity, and building confidence in society.

To achieve this, priority should be given to allocating budget to science and technology, making it a breakthrough national policy. Research should be conducted on mechanisms for a "public investment - private management" model, ensuring scientists have the autonomy to conduct research and apply technology. Rapid development of high-quality human resources is also crucial.

In particular, it is necessary to prepare the energy infrastructure for the next 5-10 years, with a focus on clean energy, ensuring sufficient energy for development through concrete actions.

Focus on key sectors with advantages and potential, avoiding a scattered approach. Prioritize resources for a few economic sectors with advantages and development potential, avoiding inefficiency and waste; promote cooperation and leverage international knowledge...

It can be said that Resolution No. 57 truly created a breakthrough in awareness, vision, and solutions for the development of science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation.

General Secretary To Lam affirmed: "With a solid political and legal foundation and high consensus from the entire Party, the people, and the intellectual community, I believe that the resolution will create a breakthrough, contributing to socio-economic development and ensuring national defense and security, leading the country to continue its sustainable development."
