More efforts urged for deeper Vietnam-Japan tech collaboration
Vietnam and Japan continue to strengthen their comprehensive cooperation, with science and technology, innovation, and high-quality human resource development designated as a new strategic pillar.
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung has urged Vietnam and Japan to deepen cooperation in key technological fields, including semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, blockchain, robotics, cloud computing, low-earth orbit satellites, 5G/6G infrastructure, and advanced biotechnology.
During a recent meeting with the Vietnamese scientific community in Japan, Deputy PM Dung outlined a series of strategic priorities aimed at leveraging the intellectual potential of overseas Vietnamese, accelerating science and technology development, fostering innovation, and driving digital transformation in Vietnam.
He praised the scientific community in Japan, which includes more than 70 businesses and 5,000 IT engineers from Vietnam, emphasizing their role as a critical bridge between the two nations, generating synergies and delivering practical benefits to both sides.
The Deputy PM encouraged Vietnamese scientists in Japan to actively strengthen the Vietnam innovation network in Japan, reinforcing connections with Vietnamese partners, promoting investment by Japanese enterprises in Vietnam—particularly in high-tech fields, and fostering closer collaborations between Japanese research institutes, universities, and businesses. He also called for greater contributions toward training high-quality human resources to support Vietnam's development.
Additionally, the Deputy PM stressed the importance of developing specific cooperation programs focused on research and development, supporting startups in Japan, enhancing student exchange initiatives, increasing the number and quality of scholarships, and establishing a shared platform to connect scientists and research groups between the two countries. This initiative aims to scale successful models across the Vietnamese community globally and within Vietnam itself.
Vietnam and Japan continue to strengthen their comprehensive cooperation, with science and technology, innovation, and high-quality human resource development designated as a new strategic pillar, as stated in the joint declaration between the two Prime Ministers in April 2025.
