| Summary: | The science, technology, and innovation
(STI) report provide analytical support for Vietnam’s
upcoming ten-year STI strategy 2021-2030 and the
socio-economic development strategy (SEDS) 2021-2030. The
STI report has been prepared in response to a request from
the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST). The new STI
strategy is expected to contribute to a strengthened
national innovation system (NIS) that will promote a more
innovation-driven enterprise sector, and in turn lead to
sustained high-growth in Vietnam. As the Coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) triggered economic shock continues to spread
globally and its impact deepens in Vietnam, the importance
of innovation and technology adoption for business
resilience as well as for productive growth has been
amplified. This report will highlight specific changes in
policies and present institutional options to strengthen
technology adoption and innovation in enterprises to inform
the new STI strategy 2021-2030 and the SEDS 2021-2030 in
section one. Towards this end, section two presents the
conceptual framework for the study. A brief overview of the
current STI policy institutional framework is presented in
section three. Section four reviews the state of Vietnam’s
developing NIS and identifies the recurring gaps that hinder
Vietnamese enterprises from adopting and applying
technology. The coherence and quality of STI policies - the
last pillar of the NIS - is examined in section five.
Section six reviews the implication of the emerging domestic
and global shifts and how they inform the new STI strategy.
Section seven provides a roadmap of priority reform actions
that are needed to reset the new STI strategy towards
business innovation and technology adoption. |
