Resolution 57 to unleash creativity
On January 15, the 6th National Forum on Vietnamese Digital Technology Enterprises took place in Hanoi with the theme "Mastering digital technology, mastering Vietnam's digital transformation process with Vietnamese digital technology enterprises".
Speaking at the opening of the forum, Party Central Committee member and Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized that Resolution 57 dated December 22, 2024 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation has conveyed the message of "self-reliance, self-confidence, self-reliance, self-strengthening and national pride" to promote Vietnamese intelligence.
Resolution 57 also sets the goal of self-reliance and competitiveness in technology, especially strategic technology. Previously, we focused a lot on application and processing, but now we must focus more on mastering technology, on design, on creating Vietnamese products, and on higher value stages. Each year, the State will allocate 15% of the budget for science and technology, innovation and digital transformation to spend on mastering strategic technologies.
Resolution 57 directs the assignment of core enterprises to undertake large, national key projects on digital transformation, and assigns core enterprises to master strategic technologies. This is a two-pronged arrow: mastering the digital transformation process, mastering digital transformation technology, and forming large national technology enterprises with international competitiveness.
"Resolution 10 is to escape poverty, Resolution 57 is to escape the middle-income trap. Resolution 10 is to liberate labor, Resolution 57 is to liberate creativity. The common spirit of both Resolution 10 and Resolution 57 is to manage by objectives, regardless of how things are done, to give autonomy and responsibility to workers, to accept risks and evaluate based on overall efficiency, and for workers to benefit from the fruits of labor and creativity" - Minister Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized.
