In the context of globalization and rapid technological change, Vietnam clearly understands that only innovation can make a difference and bring the country to remarkable development. This is not only an option but also the only way to ensure sustainable development and improve the quality of life for the people.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that Vietnam always considers science, technology and innovation as "an objective requirement, a strategic choice, a top priority and a national policy". This is the driving force to promote rapid and sustainable development, helping the country rise up in the new era.

The Prime Minister said that Vietnam has been focusing resources on areas such as digital transformation, green transformation, artificial intelligence, semiconductor chips, and the Internet of Things. In particular, the completion of institutions and policy mechanisms is considered a "breakthrough of breakthroughs", creating a solid foundation for the development of science, technology and innovation.

The scientific works honored at VinFuture 2024 are clear evidence of the connection between science and life, with a wide scope ranging from computer science, regenerative medicine to global health. These initiatives not only solve global challenges but also contribute to shaping the future, helping humanity go further on the path of development.

Not only stopping at high-tech solutions, Vietnam is also promoting international cooperation, expanding opportunities for businesses and scientists to connect, share experiences and promote innovation. Strong investment in research infrastructure and training of high-quality human resources is a long-term strategy to ensure sustainability and efficiency in innovation activities.

The Prime Minister also expressed his hope that scientists, businesses and the international community will continue to accompany Vietnam in its efforts to build an innovation ecosystem. In particular, investing in high-quality human resources and developing venture capital funds are key to realizing innovative ideas, making Vietnam one of the leading destinations for science and technology.

“Vietnam is committed to creating the most favorable conditions for science, technology and innovation to develop strongly. With the spirit of “harmonious benefits and shared risks”, the country is always ready to welcome scientists, investors and businesses to realize projects in Vietnam,” the Prime Minister affirmed.

The government will continue to improve the investment environment, promote the development of the innovative startup ecosystem, and strengthen international cooperation. These efforts are not only aimed at achieving the goal of making Vietnam a high-income country by 2045, but also actively contributing to solving global challenges.
