Hanoi (VNA) - Resolution 57 has provided strong momentum for Vietnamese enterprises to engage more deeply in the development of core technologies, gradually realising the goal of technological autonomy.

Six months after the implementation of Resolution 57-NQ/TW, Vietnam’s science, technology, and innovation ecosystem has witnessed robust growth, with 858 science and technology enterprises, 45 high-tech firms, and more than 73,000 digital technology businesses in operation.

A notable highlight in the first half of the year was the active participation of major domestic technology companies. This shows that Resolution 57-NQ/TW has spread widely across society and the business community, generating social momentum and additional resources for the effective fulfilment of tasks.

The resolution has ignited the aspiration for technological mastery in Vietnam.

CT Group has been recognised as one of the pioneers in turning the resolution’s spirit into practical action. At the six-month review ceremony of Resolution 57-NQ/TW, the group unveiled the first ADC chip developed entirely by Vietnamese engineers. Remarkably, the chip was completed in only six months—a record achievement—opening opportunities for application in defence, artificial intelligence (AI), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and smart devices.

This marks a strategic step towards mastering core technologies. The group is now establishing chip design houses focusing on AI, Internet of Things (IoT), and chips for strategic sectors such as UAVs, defence, 5G/6G and sensors.

Experts believe this breakthrough not only demonstrates domestic R&D capabilities but also raises expectations of building a high-tech “Make in Vietnam” value chain, where Vietnamese enterprises act as inventors, producers, and global suppliers.

CT Group has identified six strategic technology sectors as national products, including semiconductors, 6G telecommunications, UAVs, gene and cell therapy, frontier space economy, and digital transformation. Its Digital Twin 15 project is providing Vietnam’s largest data hub for the National Data Centre, strengthening digital infrastructure and management capacity.

Viettel has also defined innovation and the application of science and technology as the foundation for sustainable development.

As a defence-security enterprise, Viettel contributes to building high-tech defence capabilities, meeting national security requirements and creating momentum for domestic industry. The company focuses resources on mastering core technologies in telecommunications, AI, big data, and next-generation mobile networks (5G/6G). Viettel also commits to building digital infrastructure and technology platforms to support the Government, enterprises and citizens in digital transformation.

VNPT, another key enterprise, has been assigned a leading role in realising the resolution’s objectives. The group has prioritised three main tasks: strengthening R&D in AI and 5G/6G technologies, developing modern digital infrastructure including data centres, VNPT Cloud, national 3D mapping and smart operation centres, and investing in high-quality human resources through training and partnerships with leading universities.

In today’s increasingly complex global tech landscape, the ability to master and develop core technologies is a direct measure of national competitiveness and economic security. For enterprises, especially in technology, technological autonomy is not just a macro-level goal but also vital for competitiveness and resilience. Dependence on foreign technology exposes firms to supply chain risks, rising costs, and reduced flexibility in product innovation and market expansion.

With its clear orientation and long-term vision, Resolution 57 has become a compass guiding Vietnamese enterprises to boldly invest in resource-intensive, high-risk but potentially groundbreaking fields.

The path to mastering core technologies remains challenging. However, the resolution has achieved the most crucial step: driving domestic businesses to change their mindset, invest confidently, and place their trust in their own capabilities.

The early achievements—such as the rapid growth of science and technology firms, the emergence of domestic R&D ecosystems, and the engagement of leading digital technology companies—have laid an important foundation for Vietnam to make significant breakthroughs in the new era./.
