The Conference is held in the context that science and technology, innovation and digital transformation are not only the driving force, but have become the foundation for development in the 21st century.
According to a report by the World Bank (WB), by 2024, the digital economy will account for 15% of the global GDP, equivalent to 16,000 billion USD. Many countries have identified the digital economy as a core component of their national strategies.
According to the Deputy Governor, in the context of the world facing unpredictable fluctuations such as trade wars, the rise of protectionism, epidemics, economic crises, energy security and climate change, science and technology development, innovation and digital transformation are no longer options, but vital requirements for adaptation, survival and development.
Based on a serious and comprehensive analysis and assessment of the country's opportunities, difficulties and challenges, the Central Government has issued 04 Resolutions, including: Resolution 57 on promoting science and technology and innovation; Resolution 59 on proactively integrating deeply into the international community; Resolution 68 on strongly developing the private economic sector; Resolution 66 on comprehensive innovation in law-making and enforcement.
According to General Secretary To Lam, "the above 4 Resolutions can now be called the "Quad Pillars" to help us take off", in which "developing science, technology, innovation and digital transformation are strategic breakthroughs, the main driving force to promote national modernization, innovate national governance methods, and develop the economy and society quickly and sustainably".
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh also emphasized that Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW is a document of strategic significance, marking an important turning point for the country in the fields of science and technology, innovation and digital transformation. The Resolution is of special significance, a guideline for development in the new era of strong, civilized and prosperous development, and a strong call for the entire Party, people and army to join efforts to turn Vietnam into a developed, high-income country with global competitiveness.
