Proposal to promulgate the Law on Cultural Industries

Omega Book Company CEO Tran Hoai Phuong expressed his amazement at books from Middle Eastern countries at the Frankfurt Book Fair (Germany). They have transformed their development model, moving towards the "post-oil era" by investing heavily in culture, education and publishing indigenous knowledge as a strategic tool. At the same time, China's largest book import-export unit, CNPIEC, has a distribution network in more than 170 countries, bringing more than 21 million copies of books to the international market each year. They also developed China E-Book Hub - a digital platform containing more than 270,000 e-books and audiobooks from 550 publishers in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan...

The long road of intellectual property economy

The research team from the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, Nguyen Cao Duc and Phi Hong Minh, mentioned the policies that Korea has supported for the IP intellectual property economy. Accordingly, they built multi-layered protection systems using both policy and technology. The State at that time was not only an arbitrator but also a teammate, supporting businesses in building "digital fences". According to experts, "The emphasis on IP protection is not only defensive. Studies show that this is an offensive strategy to increase international competitiveness and turn IP into a key export item".

Dr. Phung Ngoc Kien (VNU-Hanoi) emphasized that Europe is leading the way in adjusting the legal corridor for AI-related innovations. While the use of AI actors in Vietnamese cinema is still a legal gray area, Europe has a general data protection regulation (GDPR), which considers images, voices, and facial recognition as biometric personal data and all processing must have clear consent. In addition, the AI Act is a law being completed that classifies the use of AI to create real people as high-risk, requiring warnings, strict control, and algorithm transparency.

Mr. Chu Tien Dat, Chairman of the Board of Members, VTC Multimedia Corporation, commented that Vietnam does not have enough tax incentives to create a competitive advantage compared to countries with a strongly developed gaming industry. Meanwhile, Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Ha (Institute of Culture, Arts, Sports and Tourism) mentioned that the Chinese government directly invests in developing a large-scale cultural infrastructure system and plays a decisive role in developing the cultural industry, such as the 798 Art Zone in Beijing, the Moganshan 50 Art Zone in Shanghai...

Recognizing the driving force of institutions, at the workshop, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Hoang Anh, founder of the creative unit Len Ngan, proposed to promulgate the Law on Cultural Industries. According to him: "This law needs to clearly stipulate the cultural industry sub-sectors, funding mechanisms, public-private investment, tax incentives, and social impact assessment indicators."
