Behind Việt Nam’s impressive semiconductor industry lies a critical bottleneck: the ability to translate chip designs into commercially manufactured semiconductor products.
Data-sharing mechanisms between the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Bank of Vietnam have significantly improved the monitoring of financial flows, particularly in e-commerce and the digital economy.
Technology and high-quality human resources are the two essential catalysts for Việt Nam to achieve a digital breakthrough, attendees heard at the Việt Nam Global Innovation Forum (VGIC) 2026 opened in HCM City on July 29.
Alongside Artificial Intelligence, semiconductor technology, and Big Data, quantum technology is emerging as a strategic pillar, creating new competitive advantages for nations worldwide.
In addition to exploring 100 years of quantum history and the groundbreaking discoveries of scientists, visitors to the centre will uncover the strange laws of light and matter through intuitive models, interactive experiments and quantum photonic technology.
As quantum technologies move rapidly from laboratory research toward real-world applications, Southeast Asian nations face both a shared opportunity and a shared challenge: how to coordinate talent development, research infrastructure, industrial partnerships, and policy frameworks so that the region can participate meaningfully in and benefit from the global quantum revolution.
Authorities expect the policies to encourage more scientists, enterprises and investors to participate in developing technologies that will underpin Việt Nam's future economic growth.
The symposium aims to popularise quantum computing knowledge among students in natural sciences and technology, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, and Information Technology, and is being held rotationally across various regions nationwide.
This marks the first time Việt Nam has hosted an international hackathon specialised in quantum computing, and it is only the second event of its kind in Southeast Asia.
Việt Nam has integrated rapidly and proactively implemented its international IP obligations under multilateral and bilateral treaties, contributing to a modern and effective global IP system that promotes innovation and development.
Việt Nam must master its data, computing infrastructure, technology, and workforce to build sovereign artificial intelligence (AI), an imperative for the country's sustainable digital economy, experts said at a seminar in HCM City on July 22.
Located in Cầu Giấy Ward, Hà Nội, it's where cybersecurity officials work 24/7 to ensure national security in the digital space.
As a leading centre for science, technology, and innovation, HCM City is taking proactive steps to build capacity for the quantum computing era, with a strong focus on developing talent to seize arising technological opportunities.
Due to their ability to generate stable and non-classical quantum states, topological materials are expected to play a pivotal role in the technological breakthroughs of the 21st century.
Việt Nam will require tens of thousands of workers across the nuclear sector by 2035 as the country resumes its atomic energy programme, with experts warning that early and coordinated investment in training will be crucial to the success of future nuclear power projects.
AI should not be developed in isolation by individual agencies or organisations but through an interconnected ecosystem linking the State, universities and research institutes, and businesses.
Between 2018 and 2023, the IAEA directly supported 17 national projects in Việt Nam, while the country also joined 67 regional and interregional projects under the Regional Cooperative Agreement (RCA) and other cooperation frameworks.
The State may cover up to 100 per cent of funding for strategic technology projects commissioned by the Government or financed through the National Foundation for Science and Technology Development (NAFOSTED) and ministerial and local funds.
