Over a year, Resolution 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science and technology (S&T), innovation (innovation) and national digital transformation has truly entered life through the application of digital technology in education, health, public administration and production and business. People can access convenient online public services, learn through digital platforms, or use technology to improve labor productivity.
To implement Resolution 57 in a substantive way, for the first time, the Central Steering Committee for S&T, Innovation and Digital Transformation was established, directly under the Politburo.
More than 20 issues and inter-sectoral and inter-field bottlenecks have been removed, from institutions, finance; digital infrastructure, data; public services; strategic technology, to the "3 Houses: State - School - Enterprise" model, network security and digital human resources.
With Resolution 57, we are carrying out a revolution - a scientific and technical revolution. As a revolution, it involves all issues from health, education, institutions, businesses, industrial development, international integration. Here, S&T and innovation are at the center," Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Ai Viet - former Director of the Institute of Information Technology, Vietnam National University, Hanoi assessed.
The guiding viewpoints, goals and solutions set out in Resolution 57 have been concretized into 1,298 key tasks of 2025, assigned to each ministry, sector, and locality to implement.
All tasks have timelines, track progress, count results and assign responsibility to the head, with the requirement of "clear work - clear responsibility - clear deadline - clear results".
To do this, the Information System for monitoring and evaluating the implementation of Resolution 57 was born. The goal is to comprehensively and objectively measure the progress and results of implementing the goals and tasks of Resolution 57.
The Steering Committee can monitor the progress and level of completion of each specific task in real time from the central level to each commune and ward.
Mr. Do Cong Anh - Deputy Director of the Department of Digital Transformation - Cipher, Office of the Party Central Committee, said that for the first time, a Resolution of the Politburo has applied digital technology to monitor and evaluate the implementation situation. From the Central level, it is possible to monitor in real time and grasp bottlenecks immediately at the local level.
From there, allocate resources, adjust the way of doing things, almost no waiting time, no delay time.
Thanks to that, the implementation of Resolution 57 has recorded clear results right in the first year of implementation.
Digital transformation is a key condition for deploying the 2-level local government model. To successfully implement this model, digital transformation is likened to a "central nervous system", a vital bridge between the province and the commune.
100% of Vietnamese citizens have identification codes; more than 87 million chip-based ID cards have been issued; 67 million VNeID accounts have been activated; 50 utilities and 12 essential papers such as citizen ID cards, driver's licenses, vehicle registration, health insurance... have been integrated into the VNeID application.
In particular, from October 1st, people will receive 25 essential public services without having to submit papers, thanks to data already integrated on VNeID. The deployment of online public services on the National Population Database platform is expected to save about 2,500 billion VND per year.
The private economy is strongly promoted, private enterprises become the pioneering force of innovation. Private capital flow increased sharply when 2.3 billion USD was poured into 141 deals in the year.
It can be seen that after the "start-up, warm-up" phase, Resolution 57 enters the "acceleration" stage from 2026, with a focus on innovating thinking, drastically organizing implementation and developing based on S&T, innovation and digital transformation, creating a foundation for a new growth model and a powerful Vietnam.
