According to major corporations, Resolution 57 on science and technology and Resolution 68 on the development of the private economy are considered a “pair” of policies that pave the way, create confidence, and provide motivation for businesses in their production and business activities.
Establishment of the 57 Task Force
Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo, issued on 22 December 2024, aims to create breakthroughs in the development of science and technology, innovation, and national digital transformation.
Just ten days later, on 2 January 2025, CT Group established Task Force 57 (also known as the Acceleration Task Force). The task force is organized under an interdisciplinary model and comprises six committees (Connectivity; Universities & Talent; Legal Affairs; Communications; Finance; and the Innovation Center Alliance) corresponding to the key task groups set out in Resolution 57, with the aim of ensuring rapid, substantive implementation and the delivery of tangible outcomes.
After nearly one year since the establishment of the Acceleration Task Force, CT Group has successfully positioned six technology sectors within the national strategic technology product portfolio, while simultaneously developing concrete technology products.
According to Mr. Tran Kim Chung, Chairman of CT Group, the company’s achievements in science and technology stem from the pioneering spirit of Resolution 57.
According to Mr. Chung, the country is standing at the threshold of a historic transformation. Resolution 57 on breakthroughs in the development of science and technology, innovation, and national digital transformation represents a strategic institutional turning point.
“It can be said that never before have science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation been placed so clearly, consistently, and decisively at the center of the national development strategy as they are today,” he said.
The 2025 Report on the Implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW and the projected key tasks for 2026 of the unit also indicates that, in the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, the CT UAV division has achieved a high level of technological autonomy, with an average localization rate of 87.5% across six core technology domains.
In August, the company secured an export order for 5,000 heavy-lift transport UAVs to South Korea. The company projects that revenue from the UAV segment alone will reach USD 100 million in 2025. In 2026, revenue is expected to rise to USD 500 million – five times higher – alongside plans for an international IPO.

In addition, in the field of gene and cell therapy technologies, CT Group is proactively accelerating administrative procedures with the Ministry of Health to introduce porcine corneal transplantation technology for 500,000 people suffering from permanent blindness in Vietnam. Subsequently, the company aims to expand the project and roll it out to six million people with permanent blindness across ASEAN.
According to company estimates, the project could mobilize nearly 900,000 additional workers for Vietnam’s economy and is projected to contribute around 0.5% to national GDP.
Mr. Chung stated: “No country can be truly independent without technological mastery. Investing in advanced technologies is therefore the way businesses contribute to enabling Vietnam to progress in step with the global community.”
The Chairman further committed that the Group views ensuring national technological self-reliance as a core responsibility, to be fulfilled through the development of a “Make in Vietnam” science and technology ecosystem. Instead of chasing short-term returns, the Group will prioritize long-term investment in R&D, foster global intellectual networks, and mobilize overseas Vietnamese talent to contribute to national development.
Proposing Three Key Priorities for the Implementation of Resolution 68
While Resolution 57 outlines the need to focus on the development of science and technology, innovation, and national digital transformation to drive economic revitalization, Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW on private sector economic development, issued in May 2025, identifies private enterprises as a core force in translating the tasks and objectives set out in Resolution 57 into reality.
Mr. Pham Minh Duc, Deputy CEO of Tan A Dai Thanh Group, noted that following the issuance of Resolution 68, businesses have clearly felt the Government’s strong sense of partnership and support. The Resolution has sent positive signals, helping enterprises strengthen confidence and gain clearer direction in their production and business operations.
As a result, in 2025, the Group’s industrial manufacturing segment is projected to generate nearly VND 8 trillion in revenue, with a target of increasing total revenue to VND 20 trillion by 2028.
According to Mr. Duc, for the supportive intent toward the private sector under Resolution 68 to be fully realized, state authorities must operationalize it through simple, transparent, predictable, and highly implementable mechanisms.
At the same time, regular dialogue channels between regulatory authorities and the business community should be strengthened, enabling enterprises to promptly raise obstacles while allowing authorities to swiftly address emerging bottlenecks.
Regarding the country’s economic development trajectory in the coming period, a representative of Tan A Dai Thanh Group recommended that the Government and relevant ministries and agencies focus on three key priorities:
First, ensuring institutional stability and a sound legal environment.
A stable legal environment serves as a protective shield and a source of long-term confidence, enabling businesses to invest and grow with peace of mind.
Accordingly, enterprises are in strong need of a legal system that is stable, coherent, and highly predictable. Specifically, state authorities should review, simplify, and harmonize legal regulations; clearly communicate policy adjustment roadmaps to allow businesses adequate preparation; and further accelerate administrative procedure reform.
Second, supporting businesses’ access to capital and credit.
If credit policies are designed with clear priorities and focus, they can become a critical lever for promoting innovation and enhancing productivity within the private sector.
At present, the most significant challenge facing the private sector – particularly small and medium-sized enterprises – is limited access to capital. Therefore, more effective credit guarantee funds should be developed; preferential credit mechanisms should be introduced with a focus on technological innovation, green transition, and the digital economy; and capital mobilization channels should be diversified through the development of transparent bond markets, venture capital funds, and well-regulated crowdfunding models.
Third, investing in infrastructure and human resources.
With respect to infrastructure, the State should prioritize logistics, seaports, railways, warehousing, and supply chain facilities, alongside digital infrastructure such as data centers, high-speed internet, and secure electronic payment systems. These investments would significantly reduce transaction costs and enhance the competitiveness of Vietnamese goods.
With regard to human resources, Vietnam benefits from a young population but continues to face a shortage of highly skilled labor. Accordingly, the State should intensify vocational training aligned with practical market needs, promote public–private partnerships in vocational education, and attract international experts as well as overseas Vietnamese talent to facilitate technology transfer and the adoption of advanced management practices.
