Using UAVs to monitor coastal ecosystems

Under increasing pressure from climate change and economic development activities, many coastal and island ecosystems are facing the risk of degradation. The application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) enables rapid, accurate, and cost-effective data collection, thus contributing to ecosystem monitoring, biodiversity conservation, and the sustainable development of the marine economy.

Removing bottlenecks to bring strategic technologies into practice

After a year and a half of implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, science and technology, innovation and digital transformation have been placed at the centre of the new growth model. The next stage requires a sharper focus on delivering results, with a decisive shift from building mechanisms to creating products; from completing tasks to generating value; and from preparing conditions to making direct contributions to national development.

Building a culture of respect for creativity

Watching films on free websites, downloading e-books or using unlicensed software were once common practices. As science-technology, innovation and the digital economy become drivers of national development, awareness of the value of intellectual property is also changing.

Refining the support ecosystem, strengthening connectivity

At present, most enterprises in the field of science and technology remain small in scale, have limited resources, and face many difficulties in research and innovation activities. Experts say it is necessary to refine the support ecosystem and strengthen connectivity among the State, scientists, and enterprises to generate developmental momentum for this sector.

AI shapes a new generation of workers

Viet Nam is entering a period of very strong transformation in the labour market as the population is beginning to age, cheap labour is no longer an advantage, and artificial intelligence (AI) has entered every sector and profession. Urgently restructuring the labour market and strengthening adaptability are key solutions to ensure workers have opportunities for sustainable development.

Seizing the “window of opportunity” in the quantum race

After artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors, quantum technology is emerging as a new technological battleground among major powers. This new development mindset is clearly reflected in Party General Secretary and State President To Lam’s request to complete a strategic-level project on quantum technology development.
