The delegation, comprised of representatives from the Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance’s Institute for Innovation and Digital Transformation, the Vietnam Institute for Technology Strategy and Innovation, legal firms, technology companies, and investment firms, attended the National Science, Technology, Industry and Finance Enterprises Overseas Roadshow in Wuhan. They engaged in in-depth communication and exchanges with Li Guobin, former Director of the Policy and Regulation Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China; Ni Xiaolong, Executive Deputy Secretary-General of the China Sensor and Internet of Things Industry Alliance (the conference organizer); Qu Dongsheng, Executive Director of the Technology Transfer Professional Committee; and numerous high-end Chinese technology companies. He emphasized that Vietnam should selectively attract foreign investment, prioritizing high-tech and environmentally friendly projects that can disseminate knowledge and add value. Future cooperation should shift from a buying and selling model to collaborative research, production, and market development; and from focusing on the quantity of projects to improving technological quality and long-term benefits.

In his address, Yuan Ke, Chief Representative of the SinoBridge Vietnam Economic and Technical Cooperation Center in China, emphasized the importance of production integration: China and Vietnam are brotherly neighbors connected by mountains and rivers, and also closely linked partners in the industrial supply chain. Against the backdrop of slowing global economic growth, strengthening supply chain ties between the two countries is crucial for maintaining production stability and expanding markets, presenting both new opportunities and higher demands for both sides. Key areas of cooperation in the future include: Artificial Intelligence (AI), green energy, smart manufacturing, smart agriculture, and high-tech industrial infrastructure. The application of AI and digital technologies in production is expected to help improve productivity, shorten technology transfer processes, and promote the formation of new production models.

The meeting brought together 15 leading Chinese companies from various sectors, including China State Construction Engineering Corporation Second Engineering Bureau, China National Salt Industry Corporation, China Sensor Industry and Internet of Things Alliance, Beijing High-Tech Innovation Technology Evaluation Center, Jilin Iron & Steel Group, Shandong Shunkailong Agricultural Group, Fujian Sanming Shengda Chemical, and Jilin Wuheyuan Biotechnology, along with over 45 representative Vietnamese institutions and enterprises, such as the Duk Lak Durian Association, Pacific Bridge Capital, MISA Group, Saigon Construction Investment, Phu Tho Construction, San Gioc Group, and VietMRO Group. The meeting focused on bilateral cooperation directions in high-tech fields, innovation and value chain integration, and aimed for pragmatic and long-term cooperation models.
