Speaking at the opening of the workshop, Deputy Foreign Minister Le Anh Tuan said that this is a time of special significance. The entire Vietnamese political system is making efforts to resolutely, urgently and comprehensively implement Resolution 57 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation.
“As General Secretary To Lam emphasized, science , technology and innovation are strategic breakthroughs and the main driving force for industrialization and modernization of the country in the new era, and the shortest path to realizing the aspiration of building a strong and prosperous Vietnam. To do this, cooperation, support and sharing of experience, knowledge and technology from international friends are of special importance,” the Deputy Minister emphasized.
According to Deputy Minister Le Anh Tuan, the purpose of organizing today's international conference is to exchange and listen to opinions from scientists, technology corporations, universities, research institutes, and representatives of government agencies from the world's leading science and technology development centers.

Deputy Minister Le Anh Tuan proposed that the Workshop focus on exchanging and discussing in depth on 4 core issues:
Firstly, regarding institutions and policies – the decisive factors in the ability to attract investment and develop technology. Vietnam wishes to listen to experiences and propose solutions from other countries to create breakthroughs in the coming period.
Second, on shortening the gap from research to market. It is necessary to find ways to effectively connect research and application, building an innovative ecosystem connecting universities, research institutes, businesses and management agencies.
Third, on developing high-quality human resources – the foundation of any technology strategy. Vietnam has the advantage of a young, dynamic workforce, but there are still challenges in training, attracting and retaining talent, as well as connecting with global intellectual resources.
Fourth, on prioritizing investment. In the context of limited resources, it is necessary to choose the right key areas. Success does not come from large resources, but from focusing in the right direction at the right time.
