Hanoi (VNA) - National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man has signed off Resolution No. 193/2025/QH15 on piloting several special mechanisms and policies to create breakthroughs in the development of science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation.

This resolution applies to domestic and foreign organisations and individuals; foreign organisations and individuals participating in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation activities in Vietnam; and other related organisations and individuals.

Public scientific and technological organisations, as well as public higher education institutions, are allowed to establish, participate in the establishment of businesses, and contribute capital to businesses in order to commercialise the scientific research and technological development results owned or entrusted to them for management and use.

The Resolution specifies that the central budget will be used to invest in, procure, lease, operate, and maintain digital platforms and national or regional-scale information systems for use by central and local agencies and organisations, to be shared for the purpose of serving socio-economic development, ensuring efficiency, and avoiding wastefulness.

This resolution takes effect from the date it is approved by the National Assembly on February 19, 2025.

In case of any discrepancy between it and other laws or resolutions of the legislature on the same issue, the provisions of this Resolution will be applied. If another legal document provides more favourable mechanisms, policies, or incentives than it, the beneficiaries may choose to apply the most advantageous incentives./.
