Sydney (VNA) – The Politburo’s Resolution 57 on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation carries a strategic vision, encompassing conditions to become a major driving force for Vietnam's socio-economic development in the coming time, said Nguyen Hong Hai, Director of SKM Group- an edtech in Australia.

Hai, who is also a member of the Vietnam-Australia Scholars & Experts Association (VASEA), said global development practices show that the fastest-growing companies that have risen to become world leaders are all operating in the fields of digital technology and innovation. With Resolution 57, Vietnam has been on the right track by placing science, technology, and digital transformation at the centre of its national development strategy. Hai said the resolution would be a success if businesses and scientists, including overseas experts, receive support from all-level authorities as outlined in the document. He also highlighted the determination of the Party and Government to transform Vietnam into a leading nation in technology and innovation.

Vietnam has set ambitious milestones, aiming to rank among the top three ASEAN countries in artificial intelligence (AI) research and development, digital competitiveness, and the e-government development index by 2030. By 2045, its digital economy is expected to account for at least 50% of GDP. The country also aims to be among the world’s top 30 nations in innovation and digital transformation.

With a transparent, stable legal framework that creates optimal conditions for businesses and scientists to develop, Vietnam can certainly achieve the goals, Hai believed.

He noted that Vietnam needs a strong innovation ecosystem where technology businesses can thrive, and scientists can have necessary conditions to research and apply technology in practice.

Vietnam has a young, tech-savvy workforce, especially in AI, Big Data, automation, fintech, edtech, and healthtech. With appropriate supportive policies, these fields could enable the country to achieve breakthroughs on the international stage.

Sharing Australia's experience, Hai noted that the country has a highly developed innovation ecosystem, particularly in edtech, suggesting Vietnam learn from Australia's models to modernise its education system, improve training quality, and prepare a high-quality workforce for the digital economy./.
