According to the secretary General To Lam, weaknesses about the technology of Vietnam is heavily dependent on foreign countries, so the need for self-improvement, self-developed core technology.

At the national forum on business and technology of Vietnam, bright 15/1 in Hanoi, secretary General To Lam technology assessment of Viet Nam's past time that has strong development, as revenue estimated at 152 billion in the year 2024, more than 74,000 businesses operate with nearly 1,900 business reaching out to international revenues of more than $ 11 billion.

Recorded efforts of the business as well as the Ministry of information and Communications in the role of bodies of state management of industrial digital technology, however, the General secretary also said that this field is still limited, must be addressed to ensure sustainable development.

He mentioned three groups of major problems, including research capacity and technology development depends foreign countries; the ability to attract talent, high-tech yet strong enough to lead to deficiency of resources; the level of technology of business in the country “modest” in the global supply chain.

“I reported the Monday world's largest exporters of smartphones; stands 5th in the world on the export of computer components; no. 6 in the world on the export of computer equipment; ranks 7th in the world of outsourcing, equipment, electronic components,” the General secretary said. “Here are the numbers seem impressive, majestic and proud, but try to ask we've ever looked deep into the essence of these figures yet? Our contribution is how much % of the value in that? Or are you in the lowest segment of the value chain, mainly for foreign. A coat sale out which designs, fabric, dyeing, only, daisies are all of the others would be how much? It is the labor and the environmental pollution? I wonder is that supposed to be “misperception,” is “illusory self or,” is “lull yourself” no”.

He also take, for example industry, production of phones and components, 100% export value comes from FDI, in which 89% of the value from imported components. Samsung at Thai Nguyen has 60 partners offer but 55 units of which is abroad, also domestic business mainly provides security services, industrial catering, garbage disposal.

Some shortcomings are also raised, such as the development of digital technology has been uneven across regions.
