The program laid stress on technology transfer for agricultural development in rural and mountainous areas; training scientific and technological human resources for technology renovation.

It sets the targets of increasing the number of enterprises implementing technology innovation by 15% per year; involving 100% of enterprises producing key products in the creation of research and development organizations by 2025.

Besides, it aims to improve labor productivity on the basis of technological innovation, especially in the fields of high value-added products, high value exports, and high technology production.
