📋 Tender Overview
For each technology and strategic technology product, it is necessary to clearly define: Objectives; output targets; Big problem that needs to be solved; application address; target market; opportunities and challenges when compared with competitors in the world... Download Officials of the Vietnam Space Center participating in satellite manufacturing Identify the right focus, avoid spreading out The Ministry of Science and Technology has just issued a document requesting ministries, branches, localities and related organizations to review and propose amendments and supplements to strategic technologies and strategic technology products promulgated by the Prime Minister in Decision No. 1131/QD-TTg dated June 12, 2025. This activity is to implement the direction of General Secretary To Lam, Head of the Central Steering Committee on the development of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation, at the thematic session on strategic technology of the Standing Committee of the Steering Committee. According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, the review and adjustment of the strategic technology list needs to closely follow the criteria specified in the Law on High Technology No. 133/2025/QH15, and at the same time guide to the goal of improving productivity, competitiveness, forming new industries and ensuring autonomy in key areas. One of the important requirements is that the determination of strategic technology must be based on three core factors: The need to develop and improve the competitiveness of the economy; advantages and potentials of domestic industries; and the ability to form value chains and markets for technology products. Notably, the Ministry emphasized the need to concentrate resources on a number of truly key areas, resolutely overcoming the situation of scattered and wasteful investment. Approach according to two technology groups According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, the strategic technology portfolio is oriented according to two main groups. The first group is technologies that already have a market and can create a large, direct impact in the short term on the economy, such as agriculture - forestry - fisheries, processing industry, textiles, garments, footwear, construction, steel, energy... The second group is technologies that create new growth drivers, are fundamental for the future or ensure autonomy in the fields of security and defense. These are fields with high scientific content, requiring long-term investment such as high-speed railway technology, quantum technology, rocket technology, small-scale nuclear reactors or low-range space technology (small satellites, UAVs...). For each technology or strategic technology product, the Ministry of Science and Technology requires clearly defining key contents such as: Development goals; output targets; problem to be solved; application address; target market; opportunities and challenges when competing internationally. In particular, proposals need to clarify the potential for import substitution, export capabilities, as well as forecast impacts on related fields, especially the ability to create dual-use products. In addition, preliminary accounting of socio-economic efficiency is also set as a mandatory requirement, as a basis for determining priorities, support mechanisms and implementation methods. Another important content is the requirement. clearly identify the subjects participating in implementation, including the lead agency, coordinating agency, leading enterprise, end user, as well as the need for testing infrastructure, data, standards and intellectual property. At the same time, the Ministry also requires the development of a mechanism to monitor, supervise and evaluate implementation nationwide, ensuring the continuity and effectiveness of strategic technology programs. The Ministry of Science and Technology requests ministries, branches, localities and organizations relevant authorities urgently review, adjust, supplement and register the list of strategic technologies and strategic technology products according to the attached guidance forms. Proposals need to be sent to the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Party Central Committee Office before April 5, 2026 for synthesis and reporting to the Standing Steering Committee before submitting to competent authorities for consideration and decision.*Previously, on March 18, at the Party Central Committee Headquarters, the Standing Central Steering Committee for Development Science, technology, innovation and digital transformation organized a thematic meeting to evaluate the implementation situation and discuss solutions to promote strategic technologies. General Secretary To Lam, Head of the Steering Committee, assessed that although up to now, a list of 11 groups and 35 strategic technology products has been issued, and 6 priority products have been selected for immediate implementation, the organization and implementation stage is still confused, has not created substantive changes, and has no strategic technology products. Which strategy is methodically implemented, closely linked to the requirements of each industry, field, locality, and enterprise to create existing value and make a clear contribution to economic development. The Standing Steering Committee frankly recognizes the three biggest bottlenecks today, which are: The identification of a number of strategic technologies that are not really linked to the industrial structure and development needs of the economy, as well as Vietnams potential and advantages; The implementation mechanism has no clear focal point responsible throughout, and lacks strong enough inter-sectoral coordination; The role of businesses and markets in strategic technology development has not yet been developedFull command. General Secretary To Lam has stated 6 major directions and 6 things that need to be done immediately to develop strategic technology. One of the things
