The conference aims to give policy recommendations to help Vietnam take advantage of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, apply science, technology and innovation in socio-economic development.

At the conference, experts from the World Bank, Data61 from Australia and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) will present experiences of the contribution of science, technology and innovation to the socio-economic development of world countries and Vietnam.
 
The conference is part of the national sci-tech and innovation week that is taking place between May 13 and 17, held by the Ministry of Science and Technology in collaboration with the Australian embassy in Vietnam and the International Development Innovation Alliance (IDIA).

According to Dr. Lucy Cameron, senior research consultant of Data61 under the Australian National Science Foundation, Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and one of the most dynamic countries in East Asia.

Dr. Cameron said that the next wave of digital technology such as artificial intelligence, block chain, Internet of Things, platform-based services and cloud computing has the potential to transform Vietnam into the next developed economy of Asia.

In recent years, the Vietnamese government has had policies to strengthen cooperation with scientific and technological advanced countries in consulting and developing policies for Vietnam.
