Vietnam Offers Special Incentives for Experts and Young Talents in Innovation and Data Mining

In line with its digital transformation and national innovation goals, the Vietnamese government has implemented Decree No. 386/2026/ND-CP aimed at attracting highly qualified human resources in data mining, artificial intelligence, and data security.

The new regulation defines professionals specialized in strategic fields such as data technologies and artificial intelligence, as well as young talents aged 16–35, providing them with tailored working conditions. Under the decree, individuals selected according to standards set by the Ministry of Public Security may be employed in state institutions or assigned to various projects and contracts.

The state offers these talented individuals a flexible and transparent agreement mechanism regarding matters such as salaries, bonuses, and intellectual property rights. By allowing experts to receive a share of the added value generated from research results and innovative products developed, this system aims to encourage the participation of skilled individuals from both inside and outside the country in the national digital transformation process.
