The minister of Science and technology Nguyen Manh Hung said that technology is the way to Vietnam AI – infrastructure national intellectual.
The point is he shared at the forum technology open 2025, the Ministry of Science and technology organisation-dimensional 3/11. According to The minister, the pursuit of open technology is a way to turn digital technology “as cheap as air,” by the people “the same contribution to technology development, to share the use of technology, technology price on each user will be cheaper to go”.
Open technology also plays a role in building the confidence of the country, in “the moving great,” from the real world into the digital world. Instead of drift for a different country, many countries declared only buy open technology. “The country can only have faith number when the technology they use is open technologies, master the technology you're using,” he said.
The minister also said that the opening of the technology will be the creative abilities of each individual, fosters creativity entire population, to each individual business can solve the problem by yourself, because no one understands the problems of themselves than they themselves. Therefore, Vietnam choose to develop open technology, open source software, using open data to create new value. With this orientation, “Vietnam will grow into national technology, based on the inherited human knowledge but also contribute to the knowledge of humanity”.
According to The minister, “WHO with open technology and open source” is the strategy for Vietnam to break themselves up, is a way to let users of who created the technology. “SOMEONE as strong as need community supervision. Open condition is to protect people and promote creativity. Open to accelerate innovation, shorten the distance technology. Open to autonomy, to build ONE sovereign,” he said.
He also stressed, open to nurturing ecosystem, industry, businesses, especially small business, startup, help for WHO popularized wide, but open also to secure, open, disciplined, standards, testing and accountability.
“Open then the state must lead, through use open source for the government of the central building super-computing AI national, shared, open data center AI national, ordering the AI to open,” The minister share.
In that context, forums open technology is committed to the strategy and action program of Vietnam on the development and mastery of digital technology based on open standards, open source, open technology.
He called every agency, business, get a job and commitment to action. State agency action to build strategic policy development-open technology. Business action to develop open platform. The training facility action to nurture and develop the community open.
What to do to grow WHO open Vietnam?
The spirit of “open” is seen as the path inevitability of Vietnam. Institute of digital technology and the transformation of Lake country, Duc Thang for that “philosophy open perfectly compatible with the desire to Make in Viet Nam”.
Open technology help Vietnam “standing on the shoulders of giants”, leveraging global knowledge to solve peculiarities in the country. “This is the way to go most wise,” he stated, at the same time said this helps Vietnam-saving resources to use in the generated difference value as native data, the application associated with cultural identity.
Share on status, PGS.DR. Nguyen Hong Son, chairman of the club of software freedom and open source Vietnam (VFOSSA) or ecosystem open source world has developed from long time. In Vietnam, the community has established 13 years, but the “ecosystem also discrete, has not really developed.” He recommends that policies supporting business, hospital, school, and parties related to Vietnam soon have eco-systems open source big.
From the enterprise perspective, according to Dao Hoang Giang, director of Red Hat Vietnam, the barrier with Vietnam on open technology can be summed up with “3P”, including platform (Platform), people (People) and process (Process).
With the platform, the investment costs for infrastructure and the clean data, which many businesses still afraid. Vietnam is manpower shortage, and about ONE in particular WHO is open-source, both in terms of quantity and quality, along with that is the inherent weaknesses of the ability to communicate in foreign languages and the approach with technology.
About the process, she said that this is also the barrier by international set out the strict requirements in the share and contribute the source code. About legal issues, many engineers do not know what data can share the data should not, to safety, they often choose not to share. “We used to rather than contributions, while want to go further to learn how to share and collaborate,” she says Giang.
According to DR. Dang Minh Tuan, Institute of Research and technology Applications, CMC, when pursuing open technologies, businesses need to think about the five pillars – open standards, open architecture, open protocols, open source and open data.
Open standard to deploy different systems. Open architecture allows the integration of other components into the system. Open protocol to connect to other systems. Open source code allows for “standing on the shoulders of giants”, customizable, master, and from that creative technology. Open data is knowledge, when is “distilled” form of the model WHO. “The more elements, the community also plays a very important role,” DR. Dang Minh Tuan said.
Of the same opinion, mr. Nguyen Truong Thang Academy of Science and technology of Vietnam, said that the greatest strength of open technology is located in the community. According to him, open source is not free, those who rely on it to advance to need to know how to share back to the community.
Open technology need the spirit of sharing, to promote the most important is to change the thinking, moving from closed to open. “Only when the formation of the shared culture, culture, ecosystem open new link to be together, no longer discrete,” said Thang.
WHO open the motivation to Vietnam spurt
Close-ups forum, The minister Nguyen Manh Hung assert, open source is the “path” to the developers WHO Make in Viet Nam. According to him, “want to have ONE, Vietnam must have infrastructure computing, data infrastructure must be safe and sovereign”.
Emphasize messages of the forum, The minister again referring to ANYONE as “infrastructure national intellectual”. Open technology is the way to Vietnam infrastructure there.
The pillars of infrastructure intellectual property of Vietnam's infrastructure calculate and national data model foundation and core technology, human resources and intellectual community, app ecosystem and innovation, institutional, standard, and secure AI.
The minister said the Ministry of Science and technology are urgent action to promote the pillars mentioned above, focus on finishing Law artificial intelligence, emphasizing the path AI in Vietnam as the center for computational data WHO open technology, open frame test.
On infrastructure, the Ministry will build and operate infrastructure, super-computing AI national, shared and open data, AI. About building database serve for ONE, The state will cooperate with the business sector budget support to clean, assign labels to form an open database serve English. This is system data that is collected, cleaned, standardized and open access by the regulations to serve the training, testing, and deployment of AI systems in Vietnam. “The government, businesses and schools will work together to finish in 2026,” he said.
About market development, The government will innovation public procurement in the spirit of “AI first” priority products WHO open the domestic public, the national and ordering the use of AI to solve the national level, voucher for SME businesses trial products ANYONE in the country.
According to The minister, head 2026, Vietnam will build and issued the national strategy on open technology. The state will lead the technology development, Vietnam open, “see this is the way to master technology”.
The minister urged the community to “put together ONE at each hospital, school, enterprise”, to open technology the intellectual property of Vietnam. “WHO's open will be a force to Vietnam spurt become national development,” he noted.
