According to Dr. Ta Doan Trinh, Director of the Strategy and Policy for Science, the above results recognized Vietnam's efforts when the Law on Science and Technology took effect, the first step to bring new vitality to public science. technology. The law has a big effect with 3 pillars of innovation of investment modes, financial mechanisms and training of human resources.

The scientists evaluated that the Law brought many good changes, especially science and technology products developed very quickly. Vietnam's 2014 international publication surpassed 2,600 ISI journal articles. The number of inventions has also increased significantly.

3. The Prime Minister met with typical young scientists in 2015

On September 11, for the first time, the Ministry of Science held a meeting with 70 typical young scientists with the head of the Government.

Here, young scientists did not hesitate to point out problems in research, as more and more binding regulations made researchers not free, managers did not believe to be a cause. scientists leave the state out. Besides, Vietnamese products that make domestic enterprises do not believe in risk.

The dialogue between Dr. Nguyen Ba Hai, lecturer of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education and Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung caused "hot" conference hall that day. Mr. Hai is the author of many highly applicable products such as glass for the blind, robots can teach English.

After the persuasive presentation with the guide glass, the Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Science, the Central Union directly to meet Dr. Hai to discuss further, immediately embarking on the project implementation within a year for Vietnamese blind Men can use Vietnamese products.

Listening to all the questions and aspirations of the scientific community, the head of the Government directed the Ministry of Science to create conditions for experts to have access to science and technology funds. He also expects the event to meet young scientists will be held annually.

4. International technology and equipment fair (Techmart 2015)

Techmart 2015 is evaluated by experts as a quality success, not just a beautiful number, because of thinking and a way to dare to surpass, overcome the old ones of the organizers for many years. Mr. Le Xuan Dinh, Director of National Science and Technology Information, a multi-year organization organizing this event said how to do not listen to "Techmart again".

Techmart 2015 has the participation of more than 500 businesses, 110 prestigious units, 22 leading universities in technology, 32 science and technology departments, 57 non-specialized inventors and scientific and technological products from many countries in the world.

The latest point this year is "Reverse Techmart". So far this event has a one-way nature, that is, scientists, research institutes, universities introduce their products, and businesses come to learn, receive and can use technology. But this time, high-level businesses with well-known products will introduce their needs in return to improve and commercialize products with research institutes and universities.

Besides, Techmart 2015 also has an area for creative startup ecosystem with the presence of creative and passionate Startups in the field of information technology and other fields.

5. Manufacturing long-range unmanned aircraft

Recently the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology announced the successful manufacture of long-range unmanned aircraft , showing a breakthrough in technology in the field of aircraft in Vietnam. With wingspan of 22m, payload of 1,350kg, flight distance of over 4,000km, aircraft can travel 35 hours continuously. Using navigation satellites, aircraft are integrated devices for scientific research and electronic reconnaissance for security and defense.

Long-range unmanned aircraft.

The study affirmed that Vietnam has been able to manufacture long-range unmanned aircraft to serve socio-economic development and contribute to national security.

Previously, a series of unmanned aircraft of Vietnam were born such as UAV-02, Pelican VB-01.
