The deputy PM asked the Ministry of Science and Technology to adopt policies to encourage businesses to join science and technology activities, especially in allocating funds for research in a transparent manner for enterprises and individuals.

Dam also suggested the ministry link research units of private enterprises with the state’s research facilities in universities, so that together they conduct research programs on science and technology.

The ministry needs to conduct national product development programs and technological innovations. So far, there has been no policy to encourage and support Vietnamese private research outcome to reach the domestic and world markets, Dam added.
