1- In the process of construction and development, Hai Phong city always attaches importance to the position and role of science and technology, aiming for modern, smart and sustainable development. Resolution No. 08-NQ/TU, dated October 7, 2013, of the Executive Committee of the Hai Phong City Party Committee "On the development of science and technology to serve the cause of industrialization, modernization and international integration of Hai Phong city to 2020, vision to 2030" identifies: Development of science and technology is the top national policy, one of the most important driving forces for socio -economic development and national defense; is the foundation and driving force for growth model innovation; is the criterion for enhancing the overall strength, improving productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness of the economy; is one of the breakthroughs for the rapid and sustainable development of the city. On that basis, in recent years, Hai Phong city has focused on promoting the application and development of science and technology, promoting innovation, digital transformation and achieving outstanding results, maintaining double-digit economic growth for 10 consecutive years, creating new developments in industries and fields.
Regarding industry : The city continues to consolidate its position as a large, highly competitive industrial center of the country; maintain the development of a number of traditional industries with advantages and potential. At the same time, pay attention to developing high-tech industries that use little energy and are environmentally friendly, have a spreading role, and promote economic restructuring, such as the production of electrical appliances, electronics, information technology; pharmaceuticals... Through that, the proportion of high-tech industrial products in the processing and manufacturing industry gradually increases. Industries in the high-tech and high-tech application fields develop rapidly, with an increasing proportion in the value of industrial production.
Regarding agriculture and aquaculture : The city has strongly shifted to commodity production; developed agriculture and rural areas towards industrialization and modernization; formed many large-scale, effective high-tech agricultural zones. Hai Phong City continues to demonstrate its role as a center for aquaculture development; is the leading locality in the North in the production of brackish and saltwater aquatic breeds.
The maritime economy, logistics, shipbuilding, and seaport sectors have also constantly innovated and modernized equipment and technology, effectively applied information technology in management and operation of production and business activities, creating strong development steps, making Hai Phong a major maritime service, logistics, and maritime transport center of the country, increasingly affirming its role as an important traffic hub and main gateway to the sea of the northern provinces and cities, connecting the Red River Delta with the region and internationally. Along with that, the city's traffic infrastructure has made a breakthrough in the direction of synchronization and modernization. The application of scientific and technological advances in the design, construction, operation, and exploitation of transport works has contributed to reducing traffic congestion and changing the appearance of the city.
The work of protecting resources, the environment , and responding to climate change and rising sea levels is increasingly focused on. The city is interested in attracting and selecting investors with economic potential, applying modern science and technology, especially applying environmentally friendly production technology to minimize environmental impacts.
Promoting research and application of science and technology to serve the development of industries and fields has achieved many important results. The proportion of total factor productivity (TFP) contributing to the city's GRDP in 2024 will reach 45.5%; the proportion of value of high-tech and technology products and products applying high technology and technology in GRDP will reach 69.5%; the speed of equipment and technology innovation will reach 15.08%. Hai Phong City ranked third nationwide in the Local Innovation Index (after Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City), rising to eighth place nationwide in the provincial digital transformation index rankings.
However, besides the achieved results, the scientific, technological and innovation activities of Hai Phong city still have some limitations. Applied research activities, transfer of scientific and technological advances into production and life have not created breakthroughs; some areas have not received adequate and proper attention, such as urban management and development, transportation, environmental resources, high-tech agriculture. Research and development activities in the business sector are still limited. The linkage between sectors, localities and units is not high. The speed of technological innovation is still slow. Total social investment in science and technology is still low, investment from the budget for scientific and technological activities has not ensured at least 2% of the total annual city budget expenditure. The team of scientific and technological staff still lacks leading experts and a team of young, highly qualified successors. Lack of linkage between scientific research, education and training in production and business, lack of close cooperation between research organizations, universities and enterprises. Research and implementation capacity of staff working in science and technology is still limited. Mechanisms and policies in using, rewarding and attracting high-level scientific and technological human resources are still in the research process, with many barriers...
The reason for the above limitations is that some Party committees and authorities at all levels have not yet deeply recognized the role of science and technology; many goals, tasks and solutions have been set out, but there is a lack of attention, leadership, direction and initiative in organizing implementation. The State's mechanisms, policies and laws on science and technology development are not strong and consistent; they do not really encourage or require technological innovation for enterprises; there are no specific regulations on the obligations of enterprises regarding the establishment and operation of the Science and Technology Development Fund of enterprises. Planning, training and fostering; policies and regimes for cadres working in science and technology have not received due attention. Training is not linked to the requirements of the human resource market, there is a lack of incentive mechanisms in training and attracting and using talents as well as mechanisms linking science and technology with production and business. Many businesses still have the mindset of waiting and relying on the State, and are not interested in applying scientific and technological research results to production and business.
2- In response to the strong development requirements of the country in the era of national development, in order to successfully achieve the goals set by the whole country and the city by 2030, with a vision to 2045, it is necessary to set out strong, strategic policies and decisions to create new momentum and breakthroughs for the development of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation.
