Vietnam to launch three new tech exchanges

Speaking at a conference on developing an efficient, modern and integrated science and technology market, Dat said the exchanges will connect supply and demand, commercialize research products and support organizations and individuals to display, demonstrate, exhibit and promote transactions of scientific and technological products.

The minister said it was necessary to build a shared database and portal on the science and technology market, invest in the development and application of tools for analysis, statistics, technology transactions, data processing, management and connection of shared databases, digitization and data integration.

It was also necessary to establish a network and build a database of foreign and overseas Vietnamese talents who can contribute to the innovation and development of the Vietnamese science and technology market, Dat said.

He said businesses will be supported to assess technology needs, create capacity and exploit intellectual property resources, and analyze technology trends and promote the use of technology to increase labor productivity.

Vietnam will move towards synchronizing the science and technology market with the commodity, labor and financial markets. Enterprises will be supported to master technical standards and regulations and to protect and use intellectual property in negotiation, transaction and purchase.

The legal environment will be completed to promote international cooperation, especially technology transfer in priority sectors.

“Policies to encourage technology transfer from FDI enterprises to domestic supporting enterprises will be developed,” Dat said.
