After a year of groundwork under Resolution 57, Hà Nội is rolling out a second-phase plan that replaces intuition-based administration with data-driven decision-making, quantified targets and real-time oversight.

State management can no longer rely on the traditional administration model that is heavily reliant on paperwork and linear processing, which is fragmented across sectors and levels.

Nguyễn Xuân Thắng, chairman of the Central Theoretical Council and director of the Hồ Chí Minh National Academy of Politics, stated that Việt Nam can enhance productivity, quality and competitiveness by making science, technology, innovation and digital transformation central to its growth.

Climate change is becoming increasingly complex, with natural disasters causing severe and unpredictable consequences. Reality demands an urgent shift from awareness to action, from commitments to concrete results, with faster and more decisive efforts in combating climate change.

Việt Namm's digital technology industry solidified its role as a major economic driver in 2025, delivering strong financial and export performance that far surpassed targets, according to the latest report by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Initial results in the implementation of the key Resolution 57 have helped raise the contribution of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation to the national GDP to over 16.4 per cent.

Party General Secretary Tô Lâm stressed the need to ensure that 100 per cent of eligible fully online public services are implemented, maximising convenience for citizens and businesses.

Independent research and mastery of core technologies is seen as essential if the country is to escape the middle-income trap and achieve long-term development goals.

Over the past five years, a new development conceptual framework has been established for the Ministry of Science and Technology through new concepts, approaches, and roles.
