The Ministry of Science and Technology held a regular October press conference chaired by Deputy Minister Bui Hoang Phuong.
Perfecting institutions, creating legal corridors for science, technology and innovation
At the press conference, the contents of the exchange and discussion focused on major issues, such as: Implementing the Decrees guiding the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation (S&I) on encouraging S&T activities in enterprises, supporting creative startups, attracting and employing S&T talents, developing national and local venture capital funds; putting the provisions of the Law and Decree into practice; implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in national S&T, I&I development; promoting commercialization and transfer of "Make in Vietnam" technology solutions... These are issues that have received attention from Party and State leaders, domestic and international communities, and the whole society.
Speaking at the press conference, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Bui Hoang Phuong said that the current policy is to assign domestic enterprises to implement the "big problems" of the State, thereby helping enterprises improve their autonomy and create output for "Make in Vietnam" technology products and services. In the coming time, the Ministry of Science and Technology will continue to complete detailed instructions, especially the "sandbox" mechanism, controlled testing in the industrial and digital technology fields. When this legal corridor is issued, enterprises will have more favorable conditions to test, apply and replicate new technology models.
New policies issued in the 2024-2025 period are expected to create a breakthrough in management, attracting talent and developing Vietnamese technology enterprises, thereby contributing to improving national competitiveness in the digital transformation era.
Notably, Resolution No. 307/NQ-CP dated October 6, 2025 officially added the Artificial Intelligence Law project to the agenda of the 10th Session of the 15th National Assembly, marking an important step forward in building a legal corridor for this field.
In October 2025, 07 Decrees were issued, providing detailed guidance on the contents of the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation, from autonomy mechanisms, finance, venture capital funds, human resources, scientific awards, to science and technology task programs and innovative startup ecosystems. In particular, Decree No. 271/2025/ND-CP regulates the establishment and capital contribution of enterprises to commercialize science and technology research results in Hanoi, opening up a new mechanism, bringing scientific knowledge into production practice.
Along with that, also in October 2025, the Prime Minister issued many important decisions to promote the development of science, technology and innovation, such as: Completing the Government Steering Committee on Science, Technology, Innovation and Digital Transformation and Project 06; issuing a plan to implement amended laws in the field of standards, technical regulations and science and technology; approving the program to encourage private enterprises to invest in telecommunications infrastructure and national digital infrastructure until 2030; issuing a national radio frequency spectrum plan; a set of criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation for socio-economic development; along with the process of selecting breakthrough initiatives and the plan to implement the Law on Science, Technology and Digital Transformation. These are documents with directional significance, helping to quantify the contributions of science and technology in each industry and each locality, while promoting the effectiveness of public investment in research and innovation.
At the ministerial level, the Ministry of Science and Technology has issued 5 specialized guidance circulars, such as: Regulations on technical audits of electronic signatures and trusted services; guidance on preliminary nuclear safety assessments for nuclear power plant sites during the investment decision phase; regulations on approval procedures for telecommunications numbering and Internet resource planning; regulations on management, connection and data sharing on the National Information System on Science, Technology and Innovation; and guidance on determining specialized job positions in digital transformation. These documents contribute to perfecting the legal framework, standardizing technical processes and improving the effectiveness of state management in the field of Science, Technology and Innovation.
Promoting professional activities, international cooperation and digital transformation
Along with the work of building and perfecting institutions, the Ministry of Science and Technology has synchronously deployed many professional activities and international cooperation. The Ministry has issued the Data Strategy to 2030, the National Digital Architecture Framework and the Plan for developing telecommunications and digital infrastructure to serve the Vietnam International Financial Center. These are strategic directions to help build a unified data platform, promote the development of digital infrastructure and support e-government operations.
