At the conference, many presentations suggested that, in recent years, scientific and technological activities in the southern provinces have made significant and practical contributions. However, research, transfer, and application of science and technology also face difficulties and limitations such as: the local workforce has low research and development and application capabilities; there are no groundbreaking projects; commercialization of research results is still difficult; the models for applying scientific and technological advancements have not kept pace with the ongoing Fourth Industrial Revolution; and the southern provinces lack core units in research and technology transfer activities.

In order to help overcome difficulties and limitations, the science and technology sector in the South wishes to strengthen cooperation and connection with research centers, institutes, and universities in the region to enhance scientific and technological potential (especially high-quality human resources); to link, share, and exchange experiences with neighboring localities to create close ties, maximize the exploitation of available resources and conditions to help localities develop high-tech agriculture .
According to Nguyen Thi Kim Quyen, Director of the Department of Science and Technology of Tay Ninh province, Tay Ninh has strengths in agricultural development and significant potential for agricultural production, especially in developing high-value crops and livestock. In recent years, the Department has focused on researching, implementing, and applying projects to help the locality acquire, master, and develop techniques and technologies to address issues such as: improving the productivity and quality of the province's key crops like rice, sugarcane, and cassava; developing high-yield and high-quality crop and livestock varieties; applying biotechnology in production; and using biological products to produce safe agricultural products. For example, projects on sugarcane have been effectively implemented through the transfer of new sugarcane varieties with superior yields, intensive sugarcane cultivation techniques, and the breeding of parasitic wasps to control pink mealybug pests…
At the workshop, delegates heard presentations from representatives of science and technology management units on specific solutions for the entire sector, as well as unique and innovative solutions tailored to local characteristics. In addition, delegates proposed many practical and concrete solutions to ensure that science and technology tasks are put into practice and contribute to the socio-economic development of the Southern region.
According to Nguyen Manh Cuong, Deputy Chief of the Office of the Ministry of Science and Technology and Director of the Southern Office: The presentations and discussions frankly acknowledged the "barriers" and difficulties in socio-economic development in the region, requiring the active participation of science and technology in research, forecasting, and proposing solutions to overcome them. The workshop will gather many opinions from experts, scientists, managers, businesses, and local leaders to contribute solutions regarding mechanisms and policies to make the task of science and technology serving sustainable socio-economic development in each locality in particular and the Southern region in general increasingly effective.
