Cross-Border Cooperation Model in Vietnam's Technology Strategy
Vietnam is bringing together the government, research institutions, and businesses in a transnational loop to develop technological capabilities and ensure strategic autonomy.
Vietnam is adopting the Tech Connect and Cross-Border Triple cooperation models to enhance its technological capabilities and achieve strategic autonomy. This model unites the government, the research community, and businesses in a transnational loop focusing on joint research.
Strategic Dialogue and Decisions
Following the first Vietnam-Singapore Strategic Dialogue between the Communist Party of Vietnam and the People's Action Party of Singapore, the Three Cross-Border Stakeholders cooperation model is taking shape.
Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW centers science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation as the key elements to propel the country into a new era of development.
Tech Connect Approach
In today's world where technology chains are fragmented and interdependent, technological self-sufficiency does not mean isolation.
The Tech Connect approach transforms operations and sales into co-creation, and passive acquisition into active collaborative design.
International Partnership Declarations
This mindset is embedded in the Joint Declaration on Strengthening the Vietnam-Australia Science, Technology, and Innovation Link.
Additionally, the same strategic vision is shared in the Vietnam-Singapore Technology Connection Strategy Joint Declaration.
Common Development Vision
At the Vietnam-Australia Technology Connection Forum in August 2026, General Secretary and President To Lam made evaluations.
To Lam emphasized the transition from attracting investment to joint development, and from acquiring technology to co-creation.
Future-Oriented Areas
A Triple Helix model has been proposed between Singapore and the two countries, and strategic cooperation steps have been taken.
These efforts focus on critical areas such as advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, and quantum technology.
The Role of Foreign Policy
The pioneering role of foreign policy includes various functions such as creating opportunities and ensuring the interconnection of resources.
Technology Connection aims to translate the power of international relations into national capabilities.
