Vietnam Innovation Network in Europe contributes to homeland
Berlin (VNA) – Vice President of the Vietnam
Innovation Network in Europe (VINEU) Dr. Cao The Anh has said the VINEU expects to contribute
to the homeland's development via B2B matching, technological transfer and launch
of projects for the country’s sustainable growth.
In an interview recently
granted to a Vietnam News Agency correspondent, Anh said founded on November 4,
2011, the VINEU gathers experts and intellectuals not only in Europe but also
around the world to contribute to Vietnam’s development.
They offered reports at
events related to circular economy, digital transformation and support for
start-ups that were held by the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee and Hue
Innovation Hub. The VINEU also held trips to Vietnam for European
businesspeople to connect with their Vietnamese partners.
In the near future, the
network will partner with the Vietnamese
Youth and Student Federation and the Union of Vietnamese People Associations in
Europe, and the network of Vietnamese intellectuals and innovative
start-ups globally to develop membership and hold thematic discussions to share
experience and expertise, as well as propel technological transfer to Vietnam,
he said.
According to him, with its
important role in ASEAN, Vietnam will play an instrumental part in lifting
ASEAN-EU ties to a greater height.
He also hailed Prime
Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s visits to Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Belgium as
an opportunity to strengthen Vietnam's trust and relations with the three nations and Europe in general.
In order to take advantage
of the shifting of global supply chains to Southeast Asian nations following
the pandemic, he called on the Vietnamese firms to improve their
competitiveness by adopting technological advances, digital transformation and
diversifying supply chains.
The Vietnamese Government should ensure energy safety and environment protection to achieve sustainable economic
development, he said./.
