In the context of science and technology (STI), innovation (STI) and digital transformation (DTC) becoming an important driving force of the global economy, the Vietnam National Industry - Energy Group (Petrovietnam) is building a development strategy based on knowledge, technology and creativity. The Group identifies DMST as not only a trend but a pillar of development, helping to increase productivity, increase competitiveness and strengthen position in the energy sector.
Petrovietnam's leadership determined that effective innovation must start from thinking and awareness. Therefore, the action program on science, technology and technology - technology - innovation is included in the regular implementation requirements of each unit in the entire system. The spirit of " dare to think - dare to do - dare to innovate" is spread from the leadership level to the workers. Internal communication work, technology skills training and digital culture dissemination are widely deployed, contributing to promoting creativity in the entire group.
Thanks to that, many technical innovation movements, internal initiatives and startup programs in enterprises have been formed. These initiatives not only contribute to improving productivity and production efficiency but also help form a culture of sustainable innovation in the organization. This is the foundation for research activities - technology application to be widely deployed in the long term.
An important milestone in Petrovietnam's innovation strategy is the formation of the "Petrovietnam Innovation Ecosystem". This is a closed operating model, linking research, testing, application, evaluation and commercialization of technology. In particular, the Center for Science, Technology and Technology - Training plays the role of "intellectual core", gathering the capacity of the Vietnam Petroleum Institute (VPI), Vietnam Petroleum University (PVU) and Petroleum College (PV College). This will be a place for converging academic research, transferring knowledge and developing high-quality human resources for the entire system.
The Group's member units play the role of "technology ordering unit", providing practical needs in production - operation - exploitation. These requirements help research groups orient solutions with high applicableity, avoiding pure theoretical research. The next phase is commercialization and intellectual property management, helping to bring new technologies to the market, expand creative value and increase investment efficiency.
The entire system operates under the strategic coordination of the Steering Committee for Science, Technology and Environment - Petrovietnam Trade Union. The Steering Committee plays the role of "conductor", ensuring that all innovation activities are implemented synchronously, with orientation and a specific progress control mechanism - risk. Thereby, innovation is no longer a dispersed activity by unit, but becomes a resonant system on a group-wide scale.
Along with that, Petrovietnam focuses on perfecting regulations, financial mechanisms and governance methods to create a favorable environment for the environment. The development of a technology risk management framework, intellectual property management, digital platform application and effective metering index system helps optimize research and production activities. Advanced management tools, progress tracking systems and online collaboration platforms help the Group's governance model become more flexible and efficient.
Regarding technology investment, Petrovietnam aims to reserve at least 2% of annual consolidated revenue for science, technology and technology - technology - innovation. This is a high proportion in the state-owned enterprise sector, demonstrating a commitment to investment in the future. This resource will focus on transforming data infrastructure, IoT applications, smart operations, building a centralized monitoring system, as well as ensuring information security and network security.
In parallel with technology investment, Petrovietnam especially values human investment. The Group is implementing many technology expert training programs, scholarship policies, cooperating with international institutes and schools, creating a competitive working environment to attract talent. This is a key step to build a team of "technology architects" leading the innovation process.
The above solutions show that Petrovietnam is building a solid foundation for innovation - in which technology is the driving force, data is the resource, people are the focus and creative culture is the connecting thread. The ultimate goal is not only to improve the Group's production and business efficiency, but also to contribute to the overall development of the Vietnamese economy in the digital age.
