By 2030, Hung Yen aims for the contribution of total factor productivity (TFP) to economic growth to reach over 50%; maintain the Provincial Innovation Index in the Top 10 nationwide; over 30% of businesses have innovation activities.
The province also strives to allocate 3% of the total local budget expenditure to science, technology, innovation and digital transformation; commercialize 60 innovative products each year; have 2 incubators and innovation centers; over 17 science and technology enterprises operating in the area by 2030, and at the same time establish at least 2 new science and technology enterprises each year.
