Additionally, there were in-depth presentations on the application of foundational technologies such as AI, Big Data, IoT, and Blockchain; discussions by winners of the 2025 Viet Nam Science and Technology Innovation Award; and contributions from exemplary localities sharing successful application models and spreading the spirit of innovation.
According to Le Ngoc Chau, Chairman of the Hai Phong City People’s Committee, this forum provides an important space for intellectuals, scientists, and the business community to share ideas, experiences, research cooperation, and application efforts, unlocking their creative potential and transforming knowledge into practical strength. “More importantly, it fosters trust, aspirations, and the determination to make science-technology, innovation, and digital transformation powerful driving forces for breakthroughs in development, thereby helping Hai Phong and the nation achieve rapid and sustainable growth in the era of global integration,” he stressed.
