Dr. Vo Xuan Hoai, Deputy Director of the National Innovation Center (NIC) for Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo (December 22, 2024) to create breakthroughs in science, technology and innovation, accelerating the national digital transformation process; Decision No. 1131/QD-TTg (June 12, 2025) identifies 11 strategic technology groups and 35 strategic technology product groups as national development priorities.

"This is a policy of strategic significance, a guideline for the country's strong development towards enhancing national competitiveness. In particular, innovation and digital transformation are key driving forces, helping Vietnam escape the middle-income trap and affirm its position as a reliable and visionary partner in the global value chain," said Mr. Hoai.
