📋 Tender Overview
After basically completing the institutional system for science, technology, innovation and digital transformation, the current focus is on removing bottlenecks in the implementation process, bringing mechanisms and policies quickly into life, creating motivation for development. Download Minister of Science and Technology Vu Hai Quan gave the opening speech of the Conference - Photo: VGP/Thu Giang On the afternoon of July 15, the Ministry of Science and Technology organized the Conference Science, technology, innovation and digital transformation institutions - Removing bottlenecks and creating development. The conference took place in the context that many major policies of the Party have been institutionalized through new laws, decrees and mechanisms and policies, creating an increasingly complete legal foundation for scientific development, technology, innovation and digital transformation. However, the current requirement is not only to perfect institutions but also to quickly bring policies into life and promote effectiveness in practice. Speaking at the opening of the Conference, Minister of Science and Technology Vu Hai Quan said that since Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthrough development of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation was issued, the Ministry of Science and Technology has advised the Government to submit to the National Assembly for approval 10 laws, submitted to the Government to promulgate 33 decrees, 1 resolution; At the same time, we are continuing to complete more decisions and guiding circulars. This is a huge amount of work, unprecedented in the history of the Ministry in a short period of time. The institutions are in place, the biggest challenge is implementation. Minister Vu Hai Quan said that the promulgation of laws, decrees and circulars is just the beginning. The big challenge today is how to make the regulations correctly understood, consistently applied and deployed effectively in ministries, branches, localities and the business community. You can work day and night to develop laws, decrees, and circulars, but getting those regulations into the hands of implementers and properly applied is not simple, the Minister emphasized. Therefore, the Conference was organized to share new points in the policy system, and at the same time work with agencies and units to remove difficulties and obstacles that arise during the implementation process. According to the Minister, many new mechanisms and policies have been built in the direction of innovative thinking, approaching international practices. For example, regulations on strategic technologies are not only mentioned in the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation but are also specified in the revised Law on High Technology and guiding decrees and circulars to form a legal corridor to serve the development of the countrys strategic technologies. One of the notable new points is the reference to international practices when developing norms and compensation mechanisms for science and technology human resources. The Ministry of Science and Technology has researched the income levels and policies of a number of countries in the region such as Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia to serve as a basis for developing regulations suitable to Vietnams conditions.

Accordingly, the National Science and Technology Development Fund has been researched to innovate the operating model in accordance with its principles. nature of a financial fund, instead of operating according to the budget estimation mechanism as before. This change is intended to increase proactiveness in the use of resources, meeting the requirements of scientific and technological development in the new period. In addition, the Funds functions are also expanded. If in the past the Fund mainly supported basic research, now it can participate in supporting stages from research and development to creating sample products. For the stage of bringing products to market, the National Technology Innovation Fund (NATIF) will continue to play the role of supporting businesses in technological innovation, promoting innovative start-up activities and commercializing research results. According to Minister Vu Hai Quan, innovations in financial mechanisms and policies cannot be implemented overnight. one-way because the legal system is interconnected, affecting many current regulations. Creating breakthroughs needs to be implemented step by step, ensuring consistency and feasibility during the implementation process. Shifting focus from institution building to implementation. The Minister of Science and Technology commented that up to now, the institutional system of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation has basically been covered. Some contents in the implementation process need to continue to be technically adjusted to suit reality, such as regulations on budgeting for strategic technologies or operating mechanisms of funds in ministries, branches and localities. In the coming time, the focus will be shifted from institution building to implementation. The Ministry of Science and Technology wishes to join other ministries, branches and localities in entering a new phase - a phase of drastic implementation and implementation to the end to create real effectiveness from individual efforts.c issued policies. At the Conference, delegates focused on discussing 4 major topics including: Institutions for strategic technology; investment, procurement and testing mechanisms in digital transformation; innovate the role of science, technology a
