This has laid the foundation for science and technology to become the driving force behind national development. Many effective models and creative approaches have taken shape; and various localities have begun to find paths suited to their conditions through concrete actions. 

Hanoi has introduced the shared "HanoiWork" platform to serve levels down to the commune. Ca Mau has applied biotechnology and automation to shrimp farming. Vinh Long has deployed drones to the rice fields. Dong Thap has utilized digital data to monitor pests, saving costs for farmers. 

Meanwhile, Ninh Binh and Tuyen Quang have leveraged AI for heritage management and tourism development. Quang Tri mastered biotechnological processes to create OCOP (One Commune One Product) products. 

Thai Nguyen, Can Tho, Lao Cai, Khanh Hoa, Lam Dong, and Gia Lai have applied science and technology to build supply chains and trace the origins of their flagship local products.

Following the issuance of Resolution 57, ministries and government agencies have launched a wide range of programs to translate the resolution's digital transformation goals into reality.

One notable milestone is the launch of the Civil Judgment Enforcement digital platform by the Ministry of Justice. 

Developed as digital transformation became a requirement for the sector, the platform marks a shift from experience-based administration to real-time data-driven governance, replacing fragmented procedures with an integrated, transparent and end-to-end operating model.

FPT Chair Truong Gia Binh described it as "a miracle in Resolution 57 implementation." He said the project would have taken around four years to complete previously, but has now been successfully deployed in just one year and six months.

Pham Thi Ngoc Quyen, deputy director of the Da Nang Department of Science and Technology, said the spirit of Resolution 57 is being translated into bold actions aimed at turning Da Nang into a regional innovation and startup hub with international aspirations. The department is currently drafting 21 resolutions to establish special mechanisms that will create a more favorable legal framework for research, innovation, technology testing, investment attraction and the development of technology enterprises.

Shortly after Resolution 57 was issued, the Quang Ninh People's Committee partnered with FPT Corporation and FPT University to launch a program sending technology students to nearly 30 communes and wards, including the special zone of Co To, to help local governments and residents implement the objectives of the resolution.

From the perspective of professional organizations, Nguyen Quan, chair of the Vietnam Automation Association, said implementing Resolution 57 requires bringing together scientists, research institutes, universities and businesses to jointly carry out breakthrough initiatives in science, technology, innovation and digital transformation.

While the task is highly challenging, the resolution has created the necessary tools and conditions to achieve these ambitious goals.

New momentum for businesses

Resolution 57 has accelerated change in the public sector and created a new sense of confidence within the business community.

To prepare the workforce needed for implementing the resolution, several organizations have established the Strategic Human Resources Alliance for Resolution 57, aiming to develop a pool of highly qualified experts to support development, national digital transformation and international integration.

The alliance also seeks to promote training programs in public administration, leadership and state governance while strengthening research capabilities, innovation and the application of artificial intelligence in education, governance and policymaking.

The alliance's first five members are the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, the Academy of Cryptography Techniques, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, the VNU University of Engineering and Technology and FPT University.

According to FPT Chair Truong Gia Binh, today's competition is no longer fought with military weapons but through knowledge, technology and, above all, artificial intelligence talent.

Senior Lieutenant General Tao Duc Thang, chair and genrral director of Viettel Group, described Resolution 57 as a groundbreaking policy covering institutions, regulatory mechanisms and concrete development goals.

He said the resolution introduces a series of new mechanisms, including allowing pilot evaluations of new business models, accepting risks in research and development, supporting venture capital investment, and exempting liability in cases of economic losses caused by objective factors. 

It requires at least 3 percent of annual state budget expenditure to be allocated to science and technology, innovation and national digital transformation, and encourages public procurement of research products developed by domestic enterprises.
