The "Vietnam-Austria High-Tech Cooperation and Innovation" Forum will open in Vienna, Austria on May 16, marking an important step forward in the strategic cooperation between the two countries.
The forum is organized by the Vietnamese Embassy in Austria in collaboration with the National Innovation Center (NIC), the Ministry of Finance and the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO). Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung will attend and deliver a speech online.
According to the Organizing Committee, the forum is a platform for the two countries to share experiences and strengths in technology, innovation and digital transformation, towards the goal of making Vietnam a high-income developed country by 2045. In particular, this is also an activity to concretize Resolution 57 and Resolution 68 of the Politburo on private economic development.
The event is expected to bring together many leading Austrian and Vietnamese corporations in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), health technology, semiconductors and cybersecurity. The guest list includes big names such as UNIDO, TTTech, Infineon, Technologies Austria, Siconnnex, Dynatrace, FPT , VNPT, Sovico and Genetica.
This will be an opportunity for businesses to connect and discuss potential cooperation in high-tech fields, while exploring development opportunities in pioneering fields such as biotechnology, quantum technology, IoT, edge computing and robotics.
Mr. Vu Le Thai Hoang, Vietnamese Ambassador to Austria, emphasized the importance of the forum in implementing technology diplomacy and innovation policies in the spirit of Resolution 57 and the Government's Action Program.
"Each locality, depending on its strengths and specific conditions, will have appropriate initiatives and forms of promoting cooperation and connection. The event received strong support from WKO, NIC, relevant ministries, technology corporations, universities and research institutes of the two countries," said Ambassador Hoang.
According to Mr. Hoang, this is the first forum held in Europe to promote information exchange, update policies and the science, technology and innovation ecosystem of the two countries, create a space for promotion and connection for the Vietnamese and Austrian technology business communities to pave the way for signing and specific cooperation.
Austria is known as a global leader in research, development and application of core and source technologies and in promoting innovation. The country has also achieved many achievements in the fields of semiconductors, AI and electronics, contributing to shaping the foundation for the 4.0 industrial revolution.
Mr. Vo Xuan Hoai, Deputy Director of NIC, shared that the coordination of the organization of the Vietnam-Austria High-Tech Cooperation and Innovation Forum 2025 is one of the important activities in the strategy to promote international cooperation on innovation, aiming to support the Vietnamese business community in accessing advanced technology, expanding markets and attracting high-quality investment. Mr. Hoai also emphasized the role of NIC in creating a bridge between the innovation ecosystems of the two countries, contributing to promoting the development of core technology, knowledge transfer and enhancing the competitiveness of Vietnamese enterprises in the context of digital transformation and international integration.
"Vietnam, with its orientation to become a regional innovation center, is promoting the development and application of pioneering technologies (such as semiconductors, AI, IoT, etc.) to serve green transformation and digital transformation. The potential for Vietnam-Austria cooperation in these areas is huge, especially in technology transfer and development of high-quality human resources, creating added value for both economies," said Mr. Hoai.
The Vietnam-Austria High-Tech Cooperation and Innovation Forum 2025 is both a bilateral bridge and a strategic dialogue channel with the business community and leading European technology partners, contributing to diversifying trade-investment relations and increasing the depth of cooperation in science, technology, innovation and digital transformation of Vietnam.
The event will create conditions for businesses of both sides to effectively exploit opportunities in technology transfer, develop high-quality human resources, and gradually bring Vietnamese businesses deeper into the global value chain in the field of semiconductors and strategic technology industries.
The forum is also an opportunity for Vietnam to affirm its position as a strategic destination for Austrian and European technology "eagles", contributing to shaping a new step for high-tech development and making Vietnam an important link in the global innovation map./.
