One of the key solutions is to accelerate the implementation of strategic breakthroughs in institutional reform. Simultaneously, it is crucial to promote the training of high-quality human resources; prioritizing key sectors in science, technology, smart governance, basic science, and other priority and emerging fields.

Focus on building a synchronized and modern strategic infrastructure system; thereby creating favorable conditions for digital transformation and green transformation.

Simultaneously, it is necessary to renew traditional growth drivers and strongly promote new growth drivers; to promote and create breakthroughs for new growth drivers through perfecting the pilot mechanism to support the development of the digital economy, green economy, and circular economy.

Furthermore, it is necessary to effectively utilize new development spaces through inter-regional infrastructure projects and promote the role of new economic models in attracting investment capital and technology.
