Lawmakers to discuss draft laws on high technology, technology transfer on November 6

Hanoi (VNA) - The National Assembly is scheduled to hold group discussions on the draft amended Construction Law, and the draft laws amending and supplementing several articles of the Law on Geology and Minerals and some agriculture and environment-related laws on November 6 morning as part of its ongoing 10th session.

In the afternoon sitting, deputies will continue discussing in groups the draft Law on Digital Transformation, the draft Law on High Technology (amended), and the draft Law amending and supplementing certain provisions of the Law on Technology Transfer.

According to the Government's report, the building of the Law on Digital Transformation is necessary to complete the legal system for national digital transformation, creating an interdisciplinary legal framework for digital transformation in sectors and industries. It aims to regulate the relationships among stakeholders engaged in activities in the digital environment, promote comprehensive digital transformation, and enhance international cooperation and integration.

The amendments and supplements to the Law on Technology Transfer focus on six main policy groups. These include defining the scope of technologies regulated by the Law to encompass emerging technologies in line with global trends and practical requirements; supporting and promoting the transfer of indigenous technologies, including technology transfers among domestic enterprises, organisations, and individuals, as well as the commercialisation and development of research results; and developing a professional and transparent science and technology market.

Meanwhile, the draft Law on High Technology (revised) consists of six chapters and 27 articles, providing regulations on high technology activities, along with policies and measures to encourage and promote the development of high technology./.
