(Chinhphu.vn) - With the implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation, along with the Government's Action Program, our country is facing great opportunities and challenges in promoting the development of modern productive forces and strong transformation in the digital age.
On December 22, 2024, General Secretary To Lam signed and issued Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation. After only 20 days, the Government promptly issued Resolution No. 03/NQ-CP on the Government's Action Program to implement Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW.
In particular, the National Conference on Breakthroughs in Science, Technology, Innovation and National Digital Transformation on January 13, 2025 was held and connected more than 15,000 points nationwide with more than 978,500 delegates attending.
The above events not only affirm the strategic vision of the Party and State but also strongly inspire and arouse the spirit of innovation and determination of the entire political system, the scientific community and the people. Resolution 57-NQ/TW is considered a new breath of life, a "contract 10" for the development of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation in Vietnam, bringing strong momentum to the country's development.
On the occasion of the Spring of At Ty 2025, Minister of Science and Technology Huynh Thanh Dat shared with the Government E-newspaper about the outstanding achievements of the science and technology sector in 40 years of innovation as well as important orientations to effectively implement Resolution 57-NQ/TW and the Government's Action Program to bring Vietnam firmly into the new era.
Dear Minister, Resolution 57-NQ/TW is considered an important breakthrough, like "contract 10" in science, technology and innovation. Could you share the outstanding achievements of science and technology in 40 years of innovation?
Minister of Science and Technology Huynh Thanh Dat : Since 1986, when our Party initiated and led the comprehensive renovation of the country, science and technology has become one of the most important factors, contributing to the rapid and sustainable development of Vietnam.
From 2000 to present, science and technology have been strongly promoted through the institutionalization of the Party's policies and guidelines into a complete legal system. In 2000, the Law on Science and Technology was issued, opening the way for the construction of specialized legal documents such as the Law on Intellectual Property, the Law on Technology Transfer, the Law on High Technology, etc.
In particular, the 2013 Constitution affirmed that the development of science and technology is the top national policy. The 12th National Congress document (2016) included science and technology in a separate section, emphasizing the role of science and technology and innovation in the development of modern productive forces and knowledge-based economy.
From 2021, the Party continues to add the content of "innovation" as a strategic breakthrough factor. The 13th National Congress document (2021) emphasizes sustainable development based on the foundation of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation.
Recently, on December 22, 2024, General Secretary To Lam signed and issued Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation.
Thus, since the Party proposed the policy of comprehensive national renovation (1986) until now, the role and position of science and technology have made many great strides, breakthroughs and are all aimed at developing the country quickly and sustainably.
In fact, in 40 years of innovation, science and technology have made practical contributions to all socio-economic fields. We can mention major projects bearing the mark of science and technology, changing the face of the country such as: Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, Son La Hydropower Plant, 500 kV North-South transmission line, oil and gas projects and modern infrastructure such as bridges, roads, airports, etc.
Along with that, total factor productivity (TFP) has grown strongly, contributing significantly to GDP. If in the 2001-2010 period, TFP only reached 4.3%, then in the 2016-2020 period, this figure increased to 45.2%. This is a clear demonstration of the contribution of science, technology and innovation to economic development.
Vietnam's Global Innovation Index (GII) has also been continuously improved. According to the Global Innovation Index 2024 (GII) Report in 2024, Vietnam is ranked 44/133 countries and economies, up 2 places compared to 2023. In the ASEAN region, Vietnam ranks 4th (after Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand).
For 14 consecutive years, Vietnam has consistently had higher innovation results than its development level, demonstrating its effectiveness in converting input resources into innovation outputs.
Notably, in the outstanding results of industries and fields, we can see the important contribution of science and technology. Typically, in the field of health, we have mastered many modern technologies such as organ transplantation, stem cells, vaccine production, contributing to improving the quality of public health care.
Science and technology also contribute to the modernization of agriculture. Many high-quality plant and animal varieties have been researched and applied, increasing export value and improving farmers' lives.
In national defense and security, we have developed many high technologies, built a modern network security system, contributing to protecting national sovereignty...
The achievements in science and technology in 40 years of implementing the country's renovation have affirmed the correctness of the Party and State's guidelines and policies in developing science and technology and are the joint efforts of the entire
