📋 Tender Overview
To prepare infrastructure conditions to serve the deployment of strategic technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology is implementing the project Developing a system of research and testing centers, national laboratories, focusing on strategic technology. The National Assembly passed the Law on High Technology (amended) on December 10, 2025 - Photo: VGP/TG Implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, in 2025, the Government has focused on directing the deployment of strategic technologies and priority technology products, creating an important foundation for improving national technological autonomy. One of the breakthrough steps is the improvement of legal institutions on science and technology. technology and innovation. The Government submitted to the National Assembly the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation, which for the first time established the legal concept of strategic technology. This is considered an important legal basis for building a strategic technology list and a system of priority development policies, and clearly demonstrates the consistent viewpoint of the Party and State in considering technology as a key driving force for rapid and sustainable growth. The law also affirms the policy of devoting stable resources from the state budget to implement strategic technology development programs, ensuring long-term, continuous and focused. On that basis, implementation policies have been designed to be flexible, suitable to the specific characteristics of research and development of new technologies. According to the provisions of the Law, special tasks and special programs serving strategic technology development can be decided by the Prime Minister, with advanced management mechanisms such as ordering according to results, block spending according to output products and support according to packages. This approach helps increase the initiative of the host organization, while improving the efficiency of state budget use. Notably, the financial mechanism allows for controlled risk taking - an important step forward, in line with international practices in developing new and core technologies. The Law on Science, Technology and Innovation also clearly stipulates the mechanism for decoding and purchasing strategic technology. Accordingly, the state budget can be used to directly purchase technology and hire domestic and foreign experts at agreed costs, without being bound by public property procedures. This is considered a groundbreaking new point, removing many lingering bottlenecks in accessing and mastering advanced technology. Another important content is the establishment of the general engineer model in implementing strategic technology tasks. These are individuals with outstanding reputation and capacity, and are given full technical, human and financial authority to coordinate and organize the implementation of tasks. Along with that are mechanisms to attract and give special incentives to talented people, as well as prioritize the assignment of tasks to organizations capable of mobilizing and effectively using a team of highly qualified experts. Regarding infrastructure, the Law stipulates focused investment in key laboratories, research centers and testing areas serving strategic technology according to an open, shared model, closely linked with businesses. Strategic technology products are given priority in public procurement; Testing, inspection and quality certification costs are supported by the State. Businesses are also allowed to use the Science and Technology Development Fund to invest, buy technology or merge domestic and foreign research organizations to serve strategic technology development goals. For the first time, Vietnam has a core technology list. Along with that, the Government submitted to the National Assembly the High Technology Law (amended) and it was approved on December 10, 2025. The law has institutionalized many important policies to promote strategic industrial development. Accordingly, organizations and businesses are considered to be assigned to directly carry out science, technology and innovation tasks from special national programs on strategic technology; enjoy special mechanisms in decoding and purchasing technological know-how; receive support for the protection, exploitation and commercialization of intellectual property rights for strategic technologies. The law also stipulates support for the establishment and operation of shared laboratories for strategic technology research and development; Support human resource training, research - development and experimental production from funding sources of special national science, technology and innovation programs. Notably, strategic technology enterprises are identified as a type of enterprise that enjoys special incentives, thereby strongly encouraging the business sector to deeply participate in the core technology value chain. On the basis of institutional improvement, the Government has directed ministries and branches to focus resources to clearly shape core technology groups that need to be prioritized for development, creating synergy from the civil and economic sectors to defense and security. Specifically, the Prime Minister has issued a List 11 strategic technology groups and 35 strategic technology product groups according to Decision No. 1131/QD-TTg dated June 12, 2025, serve as a key basis foro the allocation of national investment resources. Facing the rapid development of science and technology, the Government promptly approved the addition of edge AI processing technology and smart devices (Edge AI) to the list of strategic technologies. On that basis, 6 key product groups with great spillover effects were selected for immediate deployment, including: Large language models and Vietnamese virtual assistants; AI camera processing at the edge; autonomous mobile robot (AMR); 5G network equipment system; blockchain network infrastructure; and unmanned aerial vehicles
