In his opening speech, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Giang, Deputy Director of the Department of Intellectual Property, Ministry of Science and Technology , emphasized that intellectual property is not only a business tool, bringing advantages to large enterprises, but also a measure of creative capacity, knowledge quality, and assessment of the level of science, technology and innovation of each country.

To develop a national intellectual property system in a synchronous and sustainable manner, the issue of intellectual property education for the young generation, especially from the high school level, is one of the necessary tasks to form an intellectual property culture in the community.

Mr. Giang affirmed that early access to intellectual property for students - the stage of forming creative thinking - not only helps them understand and respect intellectual property rights, but also encourages creative thinking and fosters the spirit of entrepreneurship in the future. In addition, he also highlighted the policies of the Party and State of Vietnam to develop education and training, enhance digital capacity and creative thinking of students, thereby nurturing the foundation of access to intellectual property.
