📋 Tender Overview
Many National Assembly delegates emphasized the urgent need to put science and technology, innovation and digital transformation in a central position, considering this a key driving force to achieve the goal of rapid and sustainable growth. At the same time, it also requires public investment not only to be faster but also to be smarter, avoiding waste and technological lag. Download Delegate Tran Van Khai (Ninh Binh delegation) raised discussion opinions. On the afternoon of April 20, the National Assembly discussed in the hall on additional assessment of the results of implementing the socio-economic development plan and the state budget in 2025; implementation situation in the first months of 2026; At the same time, consider the 5-year socio-economic development plan for the period 2026-2030. Commenting on the discussion, delegate Tran Van Khai (Ninh Binh) said that in the context of trade and geopolitical risks that are difficult to predict, our core problem is: Public investment must be faster, but more importantly smarter, prioritizing digital infrastructure, energy infrastructure, innovation infrastructure, creating a foundation for sustainable growth. and improve peoples lives. In addition to traditional bottlenecks such as investment procedures or site clearance, delegate Tran Van Khai identified 5 challenges when placing public investment plans in the axis of Resolution 57-NQ/TW on scientific and technological breakthroughs, innovation and digital transformation. First of all, there is the risk of technological obsolescence and waste of digital projects: Short technology life cycle but long investment process; If you miss a beat, you will lose your advantage. Second is the institutional gap for investment in intangible assets (data, core software, algorithms, intellectual property): Lack of ordering, payment, and result-based procurement mechanisms will cause digital transformation to be pulled back, making it difficult to create productivity. Third is cybersecurity risk and data sovereignty: The deeper the digitization, the larger the attack surface; Network incidents can disrupt public services and production and business activities. Fourth, there is a lack of high-quality human resources and digital/science and technology project management capacity at both the central and local levels, especially at the provincial level; Investing money without people will break operations. Finally, there is the energy - environmental bottleneck of digital transformation (data centers, artificial intelligence - AI, large electricity consumption): If not closely tied to energy security and green standards, digital growth can be held back by electricity infrastructure and emissions pressure. Download Discussion session at the conference hall on the afternoon of April 20Institutional innovation, infrastructure development, human resources and results-based supervision. From there, delegate Tran Van Khai proposed a group of key solutions including: Institutional innovation, infrastructure development, human resource development and strengthening results-based supervision. Accordingly, it is necessary to innovate the way of implementing digital projects, build a list of key projects according to the overall national architecture, deploy according to modules, open standards and experiences. Revenue is based on output indicators such as data connectivity level or sharing rate. Applying results-based procurement will help shorten the investment cycle and reduce the risk of obsolescence. Along with that, it is necessary to improve institutions for intangible assets and innovation activities, allowing the application of ordering, block-pay and controlled testing (sandbox) mechanisms for scientific and technological tasks, data and digital platforms. At the same time, it is necessary to clearly define accountability and protection mechanisms for officials who dare to innovate. Delegates also emphasized the need to consider cybersecurity as a mandatory component in all digital projects using the budget, with the principle of safety from design, ensuring enough resources for monitoring, backup and data recovery. Regarding human resources, it is necessary to increase investment in STEM training, digital project management, attract experts, and mobilize the private sector to participate in the form of public partnerships. - private investment (PPP) so that public investment really plays the role of bait capital. In particular, large-scale digital projects need to be subject to mandatory appraisal of electricity demand, energy efficiency and environmental impact; publicize progress, disbursements, performance indicators and attach the responsibility of leaders to long-term results. According to delegate Tran Van Khai, if solutions are implemented synchronously, the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2026-2030 will become an important lever to help Vietnam achieve the double-digit growth target, improve self-reliance and resilience to global fluctuations. Flexible management, taking innovation as the driving force for growth Lets see Regarding the challenges of the economy, delegate Nguyen Dai Thang (Hung Yen) said that the pressure to stabilize the macroeconomy is still very large, affected by many adverse external factors, while production and business activities in some areas are still difficult. In particular, science, technology and digital transformation have not really become the main growth drivers. From that reality, delegates recommended that the Government and ministries and branches need to proactively update developments in domestic and international situations to build flexible operating scenarios, promptly respond to emerging situations, and at the same time steadfastly maintain the goal of controlling inflation, stabilizing the macroeconomy and ensuring major balances. Delegates also emphasized the need to strongly transform the growth model from the afternoon.expanding to de
