Instead, this technology industry has become a strategic pillar of many modern economies, with practical applications in life such as weather forecasting, natural disaster prevention, telecommunications, smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, urban planning, logistics, as well as in the field of security and defense.
Emphasizing the role of space technology, Mr. Suong quoted the latest report from the Space Foundation, the global space economy in 2024 has reached nearly 613 billion USD and is forecast to surpass the 1,000 billion USD mark by 2030. This result shows impressive growth rate and great potential. And in Vietnam, although space technology is still in its early stages of development, we have made important steps.
We believe that, with the attention of the Party and the State, with the efforts of agencies, businesses and science and technology teams, Vietnam can completely gradually master space technology. Thereby, making practical contributions to the cause of socio-economic development, ensuring national defense and security and enhancing the country's position in the international arena," said journalist Phung Cong Suong.
