Handling the information reported on bottlenecks affecting sustainable smart manufacturing in Vietnam

(Chinhphu.vn) - The Government Office issued Document No. 6990/VPCP-CN dated July 28, 2025 conveying the opinion of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh assigning the Minister of Industry and Trade to direct the overcoming of bottlenecks affecting sustainable smart manufacturing in Vietnam.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh assigned the Minister of Industry and Trade to direct the overcoming of bottlenecks affecting sustainable smart manufacturing in Vietnam.

Previously, the Government Electronic Information Portal reported on information, press and public opinion related to the direction and management work, including information from Vneconomy newspaper on July 23, 2025 reflecting barriers and shortcomings affecting sustainable smart production in Vietnam.

Specifically, the article quoted Mr. Nguyen Quan, former Minister of Science and Technology , saying that Vietnam needs to prioritize automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and big data to achieve the goal of smart and green production. However, there are three main barriers hindering this process. First, the lack of a quality data platform. AI is only effective when there is complete and accurate data. Second, small and micro enterprises are limited in capital and human resources, most of them import machinery but cannot master the technology, improve or create smart systems themselves. Third, policies are not synchronous and support is not strong enough, many procedures related to tax, land, and credit are still complicated; enterprises lack preferential mechanisms to control and develop core technologies that they own. Therefore, the leading role of the State is very important, especially in areas where the private sector is not allowed to do or cannot do.

Regarding the above issue, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh assigned the Minister of Industry and Trade to direct the overcoming of these bottlenecks and report to the Prime Minister before August 5, 2025 on major directions to overcome them.
