Vietnamese Businesses Transform International Cooperation into Technological Capability

Vietnamese businesses are positioning international scientific and technological cooperation not merely as a means to expand connections or acquire knowledge, but as a crucial pathway to foster domestic research and development capabilities, create products, and enhance technological mastery. This approach necessitates that each cooperative relationship translates into the development of new capabilities that can be sustained and grown within Vietnam. Particularly in the semiconductor industry, strategies are being implemented to build a comprehensive ecosystem, which is expected to strengthen the nation's science and technology diplomacy and contribute to the overall enhancement of national capacity. Recent high-level visits, such as the trip to Russia and France by General Secretary and President Tô Lâm, have reportedly opened a new phase of strategic cooperation. Furthermore, Vietnam is seizing opportunities to broaden the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology, aiming to master this technology and deepen its participation in global value chains. This form of technological diplomacy is anticipated to open up new avenues for Vietnam's continued development. The business community is expected to serve as the core driving force in transforming potential into new developmental value.
