"The contents of this discussion are both urgent and have long-term value, contributing to providing important scientific and practical arguments for the leadership, direction and policy making of the Party and State in the new period," Mr. Huynh Thanh Dat emphasized.

Associate Professor, Dr. Do Van Hung, Hanoi National University:
Over the past 10 years, Vietnam has gradually built a legal corridor and information infrastructure for science and technology with important laws such as the Data Law (2024), the Law on Electronic Transactions, the Law on Personal Data Protection, etc.
However, the ecosystem is still fragmented, lacking connectivity, and has not yet formed a clear culture of data sharing. Vietnam needs to continue promoting open data platforms, applying AI in information analysis and sharing, developing specialized human resources, and raising awareness of the research community with the goal of turning scientific and technological data into a "knowledge energy source" serving innovation and sustainable development.
Prof. Dr. Vo Xuan Vinh, Director of the Institute of Business Research, Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics:
Science and technology information is the driving force for growth, enhancing competitiveness, promoting digital transformation and international integration. Vietnam has invested in developing a science and technology data system, but the level of application and exploitation is still limited compared to international standards.
Therefore, it is necessary to promote investment in data infrastructure, apply AI in information exploitation, effectively connect the state, businesses, institutes and expand links with international databases.
