Realizing that competitive advantage will belong to enterprises knowing to apply sci-tech advancements in production and business, but the province has still found it difficult to enhance their capacity of technological innovation. This is because the State’s policies in sci-tech development are not yet attractive. Besides, procedures asking for granting support from the State in this field are still complicated.

Hua Thi Huan, Director of CAXE Heat Industry and Environment Co.Ltd. said that proper measures to apply the State’s policies regarding sci-tech development support  together with reforming relevant procedures are needed to allow enterprises to get access to preferential loans and other incentives for sci-tech application in production and business.

According to Mr.Dinh, provincial DoST will team up with the local functional agencies to organize activities on connecting demand-supply in technology, helping enterprises approach domestic and foreign sci-tech advancements; create advantageous conditions for them to get access to loans to serve their sci-tech application in production and businesses for better results; support them in ameliorating their products….All aim to raise the effectiveness of sci-tech development among enterprises.

Over the past five years, the province also assisted enterprises to realize 13 sci-tech tasks with a total cost of more than VND5.2bln, according to provincial DoST.
