The Effectiveness of the Science, State, and Business Cooperation Model in Vietnam Discussed

It is stated that the cooperation model between the state, scientists, and businesses aimed at commercializing scientific research results in Vietnam has not achieved the expected effectiveness despite the Politburo Resolution dated 2024.

Dr. Le Xuan Sang from the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences stated that the current cooperation model remains inadequate in translating research results into production. While the activities of many institutions remain limited to education and networking, support for businesses' technology development and capital access processes remains at a restricted level.

The commercialization potential of technology varies by sector. While information technology and high-tech agriculture provide advantages in market access, fields such as materials science, energy, and robotics require high capital investment and long-term testing processes. The mismatch between research results and the actual needs of businesses stands out as one of the main obstacles to the process.

Assessment: Prof. Dr. Tran Tho Dat from the National Economics University stated that in the traditional model, parties operate disconnected from one another, and proposes the 'co-creation ecosystem' model as a solution. In this model, the goal is not only for parties to provide coordination, but also to share risks and solve problems together.
