📋 Tender Overview
In 2026, the budget for science, technology, innovation and digital transformation will reach about 95,000 billion VND, equivalent to 3% of total state budget expenditure. When resources have been raised, the problem is how to allocate the right focus, disburse effectively and convert capital into technology, products, platforms and models to create real value.

A basic new legal system has been promulgated, creating a corridor to promote science, technology, innovation and digital transformation. Notably, the budget for these fields in 2026 will reach about 95,000 billion VND, equivalent to 3% of total state budget expenditure. According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, this is the concretization of political determination with actual resources. However, large resources do not mean high efficiency. Through monitoring the process of planning and disbursement, the Department of Planning and Finance believes that the current bottleneck mainly lies in the implementation organization. One of the emerging problems is that in some places there is still a mentality of fear, fear of making mistakes, and avoiding responsibility when implementing new mechanisms. Besides, the quality of task preparation is not uniform. Some proposals do not clarify objectives, output products, socio-economic efficiency as well as funding needs, leading to many revisions during the appraisal process, affecting the progress of estimate delivery and disbursement. The implementation capacity of some ministries, branches and localities has also not kept up with the requirements of large-scale science, technology and digital transformation programs. This leads to a situation where some places are assigned resources but the ability to absorb capital is limited. Tighten implementation discipline, move from correct process to responsible for results To overcome the above bottlenecks, the Ministry of Science and Technology has advised the Prime Minister to issue Directive No. 29/CT-TTg on accelerating the progress of implementing science, technology, innovation and digital transformation tasks in 2026. According to the Department of Planning - Finance, the core point of the Directive is not to add more mechanisms, but to tighten enforcement discipline. The Directive requires reviewing the entire list of tasks, speeding up allocation and disbursement, and completely handling tasks that are slow to be implemented; At the same time, attach the responsibility of the leader to the implementation results, overcoming the situation of avoiding and pushing responsibility. According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, the measure of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW is not how much funding has been allocated, but how many new technologies those resources have created, how many businesses have been supported to innovate, how many digital platforms have been put into operation and how much they have contributed to economic growth. This requires a shift in thinking. correct process to a responsible for results mindset, at the same time overcoming the fear and avoidance of responsibility in the implementation organization. Focusing resources on tasks that have the ability to create spillover impacts. From now until the end of 2026, the focus of the Ministry of Science and Technology is to organize the effective implementation of existing policies, put the mechanisms of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW into practice and create measurable results. Previous First of all, the Ministry will focus on removing bottlenecks in implementation, especially the slow task proposal, slow resource allocation and slow implementation due to fear, fear of mistakes, and avoidance of responsibility. The Ministry will coordinate with ministries, branches and localities to drastically implement Directive No. 29/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister; Strengthen inspection, urge, and attach the responsibility of leaders to implementation progress and disbursement results, resolutely overcome the situation of pushing and avoiding responsibility. Along with that, resources will be focused on key programs and projects, capable of creating a large spillover impact, especially strategic technologies, key laboratories, digital infrastructure, databases, shared digital platforms and products that directly serve people and businesses. The perspective determined by the Ministry is not to spread resources, but to choose truly urgent tasks, with clear output products and the ability to create growth momentum. Investment and budget management will also continue to be innovated in the direction of taking results as a measure. The Ministry will coordinate with the Ministry of Finance, ministries, branches and localities to review the entire list of tasks, strengthen progress monitoring, and promptly transfer resources from slow-implemented tasks to tasks with better capital absorption ability. At the same time, the quality of planning will be improved to ensure that investment resources are squandered.Effective use. After a period of focusing on perfecting institutions and creating resources, Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW is entering a stage requiring more specific results. According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, the focus from now until the end of 2026 is to quickly transform the mechanisms, policies and resou
