According to Chairman of the City People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh, in order to realize the aspiration of developing Hanoi Capital into a leading center of science, technology and innovation in the region, actively contributing to the cause of industrialization and modernization of the country, Hanoi sets the following goals:

To achieve the above goals, the city needs the support and participation of experts, scientists, research organizations and the business community to continue perfecting mechanisms and policies, creating breakthroughs in the development of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation.
Commenting on the city's Action Program, Dr. Nguyen Quan, former Minister of Science and Technology, highly appreciated the city's initiative and promptness in taking action. However, the city needs to specify its goals and identify breakthroughs. In particular, it is necessary to select key products in science and technology, and select a few key science and technology products in which the city has strengths. For example, microchips, AI chips, etc. It is possible to select a number of units to pilot all pilot mechanisms. If successful, the model will be expanded to other units. In particular, Hanoi needs to take advantage of the Capital Law (amended) to conduct controlled pilot testing.
Sharing this view, Professor, Doctor Tran Tho Dat, Chairman of the Science and Training Council, National Economics University, said that Hanoi's goals need to demonstrate strategic vision, leadership, feasibility and long-term vision.
Highlighting the role of high-quality human resources, Associate Professor, Doctor Huynh Quyet Thang, Director of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, said that in order to achieve sustainable double-digit growth, creativity and entrepreneurship are very important and it starts with students with creative products.

Therefore, Hanoi must be a pioneer in the field of venture capital, investment in creative startups.

From a business perspective, FPT Corporation General Director Nguyen Van Khoa said that Resolution 57 is truly a revolution in science and technology. Therefore, the capital must truly be a pioneer. "Pioneering a revolution will be very difficult and risky, but the results will be great. This requires Hanoi to maintain its spirit," Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa expressed.
On that basis, FPT representative suggested that the City should focus on private enterprises, especially science and technology enterprises; assign enterprises big problems, strategic problems based on the actual requirements of the City. To do this, the city needs to have policies on capital mobilization and tax incentives.
Have a mechanism to connect with scientists
Speaking at the meeting, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Nguyen Van Phong said that the Resolution of the 17th Congress of the City Party Committee identified promoting the development of science, technology and innovation as one of the three strategic breakthroughs for sustainable development of the capital in the 2020-2025 period, with a vision to 2030 and a vision to 2045.
In that spirit, after the Politburo issued Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW and the Government issued Resolution No. 03/NQ-CP on the Action Program to implement Resolution 57-NQ/TW, the City has proactively and synchronously deployed tasks and solutions to promote the development of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation in the area. The City Steering Committee on Science, Technology, Innovation and Digital Transformation was established, with the Secretary of the City Party Committee as its Head.
According to Mr. Nguyen Van Phong, the city is always aware of the potential and advantages that no other locality has, which is the team of scientists, research institutes, and universities in the area. This is an invaluable resource. In particular, with the birth of Resolution 57-NQ/TW, it is not only an opportunity, but also a necessary condition for Hanoi to realize its aspiration of developing the capital into a leading center of science, technology and innovation in the region.
