Reporting at the meeting, Permanent Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Vu Hai Quan said that the Ministry has submitted to the Prime Minister 4 groups of strategic technology products to be prioritized for immediate deployment in 2025, including: Vietnamese Large Language Model (LLM), Virtual Assistant, AI Camera and Autonomous Mobile Robot; 5G Mobile Network Systems and Equipment; Blockchain Network Infrastructure and Traceability Applications, Crypto Assets; Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).

The Ministry of Science and Technology divides the above 4 groups of strategic technology products into 6 strategic technology products: Large Language Model (LLM) and Vietnamese Virtual Assistant; AI camera processing at the edge; Autonomous mobile robots; 5G mobile network systems and equipment; Blockchain network infrastructure and application layers for traceability and encrypted assets; Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).

The general goal is to develop the capacity to master and be autonomous in technology; form strategic industries with international competitiveness and promote localization, ensuring technological sovereignty.

In particular, aiming to master core technology, innovation and industrial-scale production; building an innovation ecosystem connecting institutes, schools and businesses; focusing on developing infrastructure, human resources and specific policies; aiming to export technology products and making Vietnam become the leading R&D center in the region by 2030.

After listening to opinions from a number of ministries, schools and research institutes, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung acknowledged and welcomed the Ministry of Science and Technology's efforts and proactiveness in building the Program for developing priority strategic technology sectors and highly appreciated relevant agencies for their frank and focused contributions.

Affirming that research and development of strategic technologies and strategic technology products is a major policy and orientation of the Party and State, the Deputy Prime Minister requested the drafting agency to change its thinking and innovate its approach in line with the spirit of Resolution 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation and "7 clear" (clear people, clear work, clear responsibility, clear time, clear authority, clear products, clear resources).

Ministries and agencies continue to seriously organize, support, and create all favorable conditions for research and development activities of strategic technologies and strategic technology products within the assigned scope of state management.

The Deputy Prime Minister especially noted: “Specify the list of work to be done, including the unit, focal point for implementation, time, and progress. As soon as possible, the assigned unit must submit the Program and project with specific goals, solutions, policy mechanisms, resources, progress, and output products”; at the same time, it is recommended that there should be a “chief engineer” to chair the research team to develop the list and project.

The Ministry of Science and Technology has added specific contents and regulations on the formation and development of strong research groups for strategic technology product groups. This is an important condition to ensure that research, development, technology transfer and mastery of core technologies achieve the expected results.

Along with that is the regulation of responsibilities and tasks of ministries and agencies, to prevent the situation where research and testing activities of strategic technologies and strategic technology products under the Program are affected or delayed due to lack of funding.

The Deputy Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Science and Technology to study and absorb opinions at the meeting and urgently review and complete the draft Program for developing priority strategic technology products for immediate implementation.
