📋 Tender Overview
The National Assemblys preparation to simultaneously pass 5 pillar laws on digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), high technology, technology transfer and intellectual property, following the 5 previously passed laws, shows a very high political determination to be one step ahead in terms of institutions, creating a new legal foundation for science and technology development and innovation. The National Assembly discussed in the hall the Artificial Intelligence Law project on the afternoon of November 27 - Photo: VGP/TG In which, the Artificial Intelligence Law for the first time sets out a relatively comprehensive legal framework for the development, application and management of artificial intelligence (AI).

After nearly two decades of implementation, many regulations of the 2008 High Technology Law such as incentives, technology lists, models The high-tech zone model has revealed its limitations in the face of rapid technological development and global competition. The bill aims to adjust, update, and expand the scope of high technology to suit the new context; At the same time, it simplifies some procedures, attaching incentives to criteria of efficiency, innovation and the ability to spread technology. Mechanisms to encourage the formation of innovation centers, technology incubators, and high-tech parks integrating research - production - services are emphasized, thereby creating a favorable ecosystem for domestic technology enterprises to develop, attracting high-quality FDI projects, associated with the transfer of knowledge and capacity. A notable point is that the bill strengthens links between research institutes, universities and high-tech enterprises, considering this as the central triangle of the innovation ecosystem. create. The incentive and support mechanism is designed to encourage businesses to invest in R&D, order research and test new technologies right in Vietnam. Associated with high technology is the problem of technology transfer and absorption.

The bill adjusts in the direction of a strong shift from the mindset of control to promoting innovation, creating a more favorable environment for technology transactions. CRegulations on technology valuation, technology capital contribution, benefit distribution from technology exploitation, and risk sharing in research and development cooperation are clarified, in order to turn technology into an asset that can be valued and traded transparently on the market.
