This information was announced by the Minister of Information and Communications (MIC) at the 6th National Forum on Vietnamese Digital Technology Enterprises, which took place on January 15. The forum had the theme "Mastering digital technology, mastering the digital transformation process of Vietnam with Vietnamese digital technology enterprises".

Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW is a guideline for all professions.
On December 22, 2024, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation, including the viewpoint of mastering technology and strategic technology mastering tasks.
The birth of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW is a guideline and enlightenment for all industries, not only promoting and changing the nature of operations but also having a profound impact on the Vietnamese digital technology business community.
At the Forum, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung said that the digital revolution, especially the revolutionary new developments and outstanding progress of the 4th industrial revolution, has created new opportunities and unique opportunities for Vietnam. Technology can effectively solve Vietnam's problems. And Vietnam is also the cradle for technology enterprises from Vietnam to go global, solving global problems.
According to the Minister, Make in Vietnam will not only help Vietnam prosper but also help Vietnam have lasting peace, because it contributes to the development of a strong defense and security industry. "The magic crossbow that protects Vietnam can only be made by Vietnamese people."
The Minister also said that in the past 5 years, Vietnam's value in the digital technology industry has increased from 20% to 32%. In 2024, Vietnam's value in the 158 billion USD digital technology industry will be 32%. We aim for Vietnam's value to be over 50% by 2030. This is a very high goal to help Vietnam escape the outsourcing trap, thereby escaping the middle-income trap.
Also in the past 5 years, the number of digital technology enterprises in Vietnam has increased by 50%, with 74,000 digital technology enterprises. Vietnam is one of the countries with the highest rate of digital technology enterprises per capita among developing countries.
Goal of autonomy and competitiveness in technology, especially strategic technology
"Resolution 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation has conveyed the message of self-reliance, self-confidence, self-reliance, self-reliance and national pride to promote Vietnamese intelligence. Vietnam is no longer a small country, it must stand shoulder to shoulder with the world's powers, and must contribute to the development of humanity," the Minister emphasized.
Resolution 57-NQ/TW also sets the goal of self-reliance and competitiveness in technology, especially strategic technology. Previously, we focused a lot on application and processing, but now we must focus more on mastering technology, on design, on creating Vietnamese products, and on higher value stages. Each year, the State will allocate 15% of the budget for science and technology, innovation and digital transformation to spend on mastering strategic technologies.
Resolution 57-NQ/TW also directs the assignment of core enterprises to undertake large, national key projects on digital transformation, and assign core enterprises to master strategic technologies. This is a two-pronged arrow: mastering the digital transformation process, mastering digital transformation technology, and forming large national technology enterprises with international competitiveness.
From now on, Vietnamese technology enterprises, especially large enterprises, must accept the Vietnamese mission.
Digital technology companies' overseas revenue increases 30% annually
By 2024, revenue from foreign markets of Vietnamese digital technology enterprises will reach 11.5 billion USD, more importantly, this number is increasing at a rate of over 30% per year.
"By 2035, the revenue from foreign markets of Vietnamese digital technology enterprises will reach 100 billion USD and exceed agricultural exports. That means Vietnam's digital technology exports must be higher than Vietnam's agricultural exports. This is a very high and challenging goal for Vietnamese digital technology enterprises. Technology exports are a test of Vietnamese technology," the Minister emphasized the goal by 2035.
Regarding talent, the Minister said that we will create conditions for global talent to converge here, allowing testing of new technologies and new business models, with a Sandbox approach, accepting risks. That is, anything that is not yet known how to manage will not be banned but will be allowed for controlled testing.
Resolution 57-NQ/TW identifies science and technology, innovation and digital transformation as the three main pillars for national development in the new era. In particular, science and technology are the foundation, creating new knowledge and new technology. Innovation is the driving force, transforming new knowledge and new technology into new ideas and new solutions. "This is the magic wand to turn research results into new products, new services, new processes, creating practical values ??for socio-economic development".
Digital transformation is the digitization of the real world to create a new space - digital space, providing digital platforms, digital technology, digital data and digital connectivity to accelerate and scale up the application of science and technology and innovation.
