In particular, after the merger, Thai Nguyen allocated more than 233 billion VND in funding for science, technology, innovation and digital transformation. The province strives to have research and development expenditure reach more than 1.0% of GRDP by the end of 2025, of which social funding accounts for over 60%...

According to Mr. Nguyen Dang Binh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Deputy Head of the Steering Committee for Science, Technology, Innovation and Digital Transformation Development of Thai Nguyen Province, by the end of the third quarter of 2025, out of 80 tasks assigned by the Central Government to implement Resolution No. 57, the province has completed 42 tasks and is implementing 38 tasks on time.

Strengthening international cooperation

Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW was issued to encourage the development of science and technology, innovation and digital transformation in Vietnam. In that context, intellectual property is the invisible engine that promotes innovation, protects intellectual achievements, supports technology transfer and consolidates and develops a strong knowledge-based economy.

To help Vietnamese students and startups better understand intellectual property rights, the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology has collaborated with Qualcomm - the world's leading technology corporation in the United States - to launch the L2Pro (Learn to Protect) platform. This is a free online training platform developed by Qualcomm, launched for the first time in Vietnam.

L2Pro is designed as a course, equipping students, researchers, innovators and technology startups with knowledge of creative property protection through patents, copyright application, optimization and trademark management. Thereby protecting and maximizing creative value, turning ideas into strategic assets.

Not only a learning tool, L2Pro is also a bridge to support Vietnamese students, researchers, startups and businesses to have a deeper understanding of the importance of intellectual property in sustainable development and international integration.

In particular, the course focuses on integrating intellectual property with practical business strategy.

“Vietnam has great potential and to turn that potential into reality, it needs an innovative economy. L2Pro was born to help students and young entrepreneurs understand how to protect and exploit intellectual property, promoting business development,” emphasized Mr. Ram Krishnan, Senior Director of Technology Copyright at Qualcomm.

Can Tho City identifies strengthening international cooperation in science and technology, digital transformation and innovation in the spirit of Resolution No. 57/NQ-TW as an important driving force for rapid and sustainable development.

The City and the Institute for Research and Development of Digital Content Integrated Software, Kyonggi University (Korea) promote cooperation in perfecting digital infrastructure, especially data center infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), ensuring safety, network security and personal data protection; developing shared platforms and data warehouses, promoting the construction of digital government, digital economy and digital society.

Through bilateral cooperation, the two sides will deploy smart urban services in the fields of agriculture, environment, urban planning, transportation, tourism, healthcare, education, security and fire prevention and fighting; cooperate in training high-quality human resources, serving the operation of the Smart Urban Operations Center and urban data analysis./.
