4. Ordering mechanism and public-private partnership; promoting the development of the science and technology market associated with the urgent promulgation of a system of national technical standards and regulations

a ) Existence and limitations

- The law on intellectual property and credit institutions does not have clear regulations on: (i) Ownership, exploitation and transfer of Intellectual Property (IP) arising from R&D projects with state capital combined with private capital; (ii) lack of guarantee mechanism and inability to use Intellectual Property (IP) as collateral according to current regulations.

- The financial mechanism for science and technology tasks is still rigid, management is based on input instead of output, and payment procedures are complicated.

- State Science and Technology Development Funds operate under the public investment model instead of the venture capital fund model, reducing flexibility and risk tolerance.

- The approval, review and settlement process for scientific and technological tasks is still cumbersome, lengthy and unattractive to private enterprises.

- The fear of risk in state agencies leads to a tendency to choose safe, non-innovative solutions.

- Mechanisms and policies to promote technology transfer, develop science and technology markets, innovation and digital transformation have been prescribed. It takes time for policies to continue to be perfected and implemented in practice.

- The relationship between technology supply and demand is not effective. Most businesses lack technology information and are limited in both technology acquisition and transfer capacity and finance.

- Intermediary organizations of the science and technology market have not effectively promoted the function of connecting supply and demand, consulting on technology transfer, and are not professional in providing services; lack a team of professional consultants and brokers; there is no typical intermediary organization capable of leading the network of intermediary organizations; technology exchanges have not demonstrated their leading role in the system of intermediary organizations.

- Science and technology trading floors do not have information and data connections; businesses still have difficulty accessing information about technology to be able to choose suitable technology.

- The innovation capacity and financial resources of enterprises are still weak, the ratio of spending on research and development (R&D) is still low, and there is a lack of technical human resources.

b) Solution

* Financial mechanism for developing the market for science, technology, innovation and digital transformation

- Implement the Strategic Technology Program; identify strategic technologies as core technologies, as a basis for the Ministry of Science and Technology, ministries, branches and localities to order core technologies.

Orientate research budget spending for businesses in the total budget for science, technology, innovation and digital transformation, thereby creating conditions for the formation of a co-funding mechanism.

- Review legal regulations on intellectual property and credit institutions to handle problems related to ownership and mortgage of intellectual property (IP) when implementing public-private partnership activities in the fields of digital infrastructure, R&D centers and technology incubation.

- Pilot implementation of Pre-Commercial Ordering (PCP) mechanism: Select 3 priority sectors (e.g. healthcare, education, smart cities) to apply PCP, allowing state agencies to order R&D services to seek pioneering technology solutions, creating incentives for innovative businesses.

- Convert the management mechanism of current Funds into a Venture Capital Fund model, allowing professional fund managers to have greater autonomy in evaluating, investing and accepting risks (researching operating options according to the business model).

- Review and research to prioritize disbursement of capital sources for science, technology, innovation and digital transformation for projects with public-private partnership commitments, with the proportion of counterpart capital from the private sector reaching at least 70% of total investment capital.

- The most important solution to develop science, technology, innovation and digital transformation in the country is to create and expand the market through increasing budget spending, prioritizing the use of Vietnamese products, and supporting businesses to participate. The State will allocate a larger proportion of the budget for purchasing new technology, assign key businesses to carry out large projects, and at the same time issue vouchers to small and medium-sized enterprises to encourage the use of digital transformation products and services.

- Review and fully promulgate documents guiding the implementation of issued laws.

- Enhance the effectiveness of the three-way connection, promote technology supply and demand: Build a mechanism for ordering R&D from businesses; Encourage the model of co-funding research and application between institutes, schools and businesses.

5. On strategic technology development

a) Existence and limitations

- Although the Strategic Technology Catalogue has been identified, to date its implementation has not received specific guidance from the competent authorities.

- Lack of high quality human resources;

- The connection between institutes, schools and businesses is still weak, leading to difficulty in commercializing research products.

- Lack of investment capital for the early stages and commercialization support funds.

b) Solution

- Issue a Program for implementation and evaluation standards; invest in national key laboratories from 2026. The budget for strategic technology needs to be prioritized and arranged appropriately in the total science and technology expenditure, with a budget mechanism for purchasing strategic technology products (first batch) or issuing vouchers for businesses to use.

- Select large enterprises to be the target for ordering strategic technology deployment. Enterprises will act as general contractors, directly receiving orders, and proactively coordinating and placing orders back to research institutes and universities to deploy research, develop and master strategic technology.

- Timely promulgate national standards to directly serve research and development activities of strategic and core technologies, ensuring consistency and uniformity and creating a legal-technical foundation for the implementation process.

It is necessary to clearly define the goals of strategic technology development, which are: Technological autonomy, serving localization, increasing competitiveness and creating a foundation for future development.

It is necessary to establish a model of 3 pillars: the State is the creator, the Enterprise is the center, and the School is the place of creativity.

Each strategic technology needs a specific implementation program, in which component programs (for each specific strategic technology product) can be identified, key enterprises and participating research institutes and universities can be selected;

Determine the allowable localization rate for each strategic technology product. May allow for the purchase of components and equipment available from multiple suppliers.

It is necessary to expand and attract a network of experts and scientists to participate in developing strategic technologies.

Example of implementation:

For technologies that businesses are not ready for (for example, technologies that businesses have limited potential for) or that do not have a market but the State has a current need for (for example, technologies related to security and defense): The State can invest in a "promotion" direction through funding for schools and businesses up to 80%, schools and especially businesses can match 20%.

For technologies that have been and are forming a market: Enterprises invest in the direction of creating "traction" of at least 50%, the State shares risks with enterprises in R&D activities, through funding for schools to research topics proposed by enterprises.

Develop data on the network of Vietnamese experts and intellectuals in each field and mobilize them to participate in projects, programs and tasks to develop strategic technology industries.

Method of constructing the topic:

Method 1 (Top-Down) - The State builds the project and orders the implementation organizations. Projects come from the following sources:

+ For Technology Group 1: The State issues detailed requirements for a strategic technology that needs to be mastered and localized. The Council for issuing the requirements includes representatives of domestic and foreign enterprises and scientists, based on the technology development situation in the world (can be based on available foreign prototypes) to issue the requirements: specific requirements, clear roadmap, the created products must comply with international standards/regulations (or if there are no standards/regulations, it must be accompanied by the task of developing standards/regulations for the products). Then, the State calls for selection with a commitment of sufficient resources to complete the task. For example: satellite technology, dual-use unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, quantum technology...

+ For Technology Group 2: For each strategic technology, identify one or a group of core enterprises, which are enterprises that are strongly developing related products. These enterprises will support the development of necessary science and technology development topics to master and localize each part with clear criteria, roadmap and goals. The State and enterprises jointly invest in the form of public-private partnership. State funding is mainly invested in the school sector to research with enterprises, as well as support enterprises in technological innovation. For example: technology related to electric vehicles, high-speed railways, etc.

- Method 2 (Bottom-Up) - Call for proposals (traditional method): The State calls on businesses and schools to propose strategic technology development research projects/topics (with special priority given to proposals involving cooperation between businesses and schools with clear output orientations). The State (Ministry of Science and Technology) organizes the selection and funding.

- Method 3 (Open Innovation): Create a network and openly share and coordinate the participation of members: Recently, the Ministry of Finance has directed the National Innovation Center to initiate and sponsor the establishment of the Vietnam Innovation Network, developed in 22 countries and territories with more than 2,000 members who are experts, scientists, intellectuals, and Vietnamese businessmen abroad, with extensive experience working at large technology corporations, research institutes, and universities around the world. In particular, there are specialized Networks to develop strategic technology fields that have been formed such as the Network on semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum, cyber security, and aviation, space, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Expanding the model and developing the Vietnam Innovation Network is necessary. Ministries, agencies and localities are requested to coordinate with the National Innovation Center and the Ministry of Finance to implement joint research cooperation projects, share knowledge and resources, and focus on solving major problems of strategic technology sectors.

c) Responsibility

The Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance, according to their functions and tasks, shall preside over and coordinate with relevant ministries, branches and localities to promptly deploy the above solutions; report to the Standing Steering Committee on the implementation results in December 2025.
