Participating in the contest is not only an opportunity to express the creative power of the organization and the individual, but also the opportunity to promote technical solutions and connect business opportunities with potential investors, said Director General Dinh Huu Phi.
The contest aims to encourage creative and innovative activities in order to create new technologies and solutions that are widely applied to meet practical needs, contributing to the country’s socio-economic development. Useful solutions will be widely promoted in the country and abroad as well as many other supports to push the application into reality, Phi stressed.
According to the organizing board, all Vietnamese citizens living and working in the territory of Vietnam can take part in the competition. The participants need to create technical solutions that are subject to patent protection in all technical fields in production and business, socio-economic life, security and national defense.
