On May 11, 2022, the Prime Minister issued the Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation Development to 2030. This strategy has special significance not only for the science and technology industry but also for the entire political system because the role of science, technology and innovation in the next 10 years is a strategic breakthrough, which is decisive to create a breakthrough to improve productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness of the economy.

The contents of the Strategy are built on a scientific basis, have a practical basis and are in sync with relevant contents in the documents of the Party and State, especially the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of Party, the 10-year socio-economic development strategy 2021-2030.

Second, passed the Law on amendment and supplementation of some articles of Law on Intellectual Property

At the meeting on June 16, 2022, the third session of the XV National Assembly approved the Law on amendment and supplementation of some articles of Law on Intellectual Property, officially taking effect from January 1, 2023.

The Law on amendment and supplementation of some articles of Law on Intellectual Property is a difficult law project with in-depth specialized content, requiring knowledge related to the field of intellectual property, practical application and understanding on international commitments related to intellectual property; ensure that after issue, bring the Law closer to international practices, meet practical requirements, and meet requirements of ensuring rights and interests of the people and enterprises.

Third, pilot implementation of the local innovation index

The pilot implementation of the local innovation index (PII) is the mission assigned by the Government to the Ministry of Science and Technology. 2022 is the first year that the Ministry of Science and Technology has implemented and piloted 20 localities, from which to learn from and perfect the methods and methods of implementation and assessment of the impact of the index on localities.

The PII index frame includes 51 indicators, of which 15 will take data from localities; 36 indexes take data from ministries, sectors and other organizations at the central. The Departments of Science and Technology are the focal point for collecting and synthesizing local data. The PII index provided by the locality includes institutional indicators; education; the infrastructure; credit; joint innovation; science and technology enterprises, innovative start-ups; knowledge, innovation and technology products; impact of innovation on socio-economic development.

Fourth, National Workshop “National value system, cultural value system, family value system and Vietnamese human standards in the new period”

On November 29, in Hanoi, the Central Committee’s Publicity and Education Commission, in collaboration with the Central Council of Theoretical Studies, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, organized the National Workshop “National value system, cultural value system, family value system and Vietnamese human standards in the new period”.

The workshop aimed to concretize the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of Party and the direction of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong at the National Cultural Conference in 2021, in association with the implementation of the mission of cultural construction and development, Vietnamese people meet the requirements of sustainable development of the country.

Fifth, master the gene editing technology CRISPR/cas9

One of the most harmful diseases on papaya is being solved by scientists at the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology with gene editing technology through the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

The Plant Cell Technology Research Group at the Institute of Biotechnology under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology said that it has conducted the first research on editing the PRSV-resistant eIF4E gene on papaya using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The preliminary results of papaya gene editing have just been published in the Plant Cell Tissue and Organ Cultures Magazine (Spring Nature Publishing House). Previously, to test the effectiveness of the gene editing system, the group worked on editing the eIF4E gene in a tobacco model plant to assess resistance to PYV virus. The research was also published in the Scientific Reports Magazine (under Nature Publishing House) in August 2022. Currently, the group continues to develop CRISPR/Cas9 technology to improve the resistance to powdery mildew disease in soybean and cucumber; enhance salt tolerance or nutritional deficiencies of rice; and improve the nutritional value of tomatoes…

Sixth, successfully researching and manufacturing clean rooms of the highest level in the world

INTECH Group successfully researched and manufactured clean rooms of the highest level in the world according to US NEBB standards. A cleanroom is an enclosed space in which the micrometer-sized dust particle environment will be controlled below the permissible threshold. This is an application environment in research and production for high-tech fields such as aerospace, semiconductor, electronics, optics, biotechnology, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals. The creation of a super clean environment by INTECH Group contributes to affirming and enhancing Vietnam’s scientific and technical position in the world.

Seventh, launched the line of microchips applied in Internet of Things products for the medical field
