Permanent Deputy Minister Vu Hai Quan spoke at the Conference.
At the conference, Director of the Department of Innovation Nguyen Mai Duong presented guidelines for building Innovation Centers (ICCs) at ministries, branches and localities.
According to Mr. Nguyen Mai Duong, the legal framework for the formation and operation of current innovation centers has been basically completed, with the promulgation of the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation 2025, along with detailed regulations including Decree No. 268/2025/ND-CP, Decree No. 265/2025/ND-CP and Circular No. 10/2025/TT-BKHCN.
The TDMTs can be organized in the form of public service units or enterprises, and are recognized when they meet the prescribed criteria. The center has the function of connecting and mobilizing domestic and foreign resources, providing infrastructure services, supporting startups, transferring technology, commercializing intellectual property, and improving productivity and quality. The recognition of the center is carried out at three levels: National, Ministry and local.
The representative of the Department of Innovation also proposed to organize a workshop to guide the implementation of Decree No. 268, in order to promote the establishment of a national network of innovation centers. The goal is for each ministry, branch and locality to have at least one innovation center, moving towards building 100 innovation centers nationwide, contributing to the formation of a synchronous innovation ecosystem, connecting the public sector, businesses and the research - startup community.
