LEMUS DELGADO, Daniel Ricardo. Science, technology and innovation policies of Vietnam. Estud. Asia Áfr. [online]. 2020, vol.55, n.2, pp.263-294.  Epub Aug 14, 2020. ISSN 2448-654X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eaa.v55i2.2454.

This article analyzes Vietnam’s science, technology and innovation policies. The introduction focuses on the country’s economic transformation since the Dổi mới reforms and I discuss how these developments have introduced a structural change. The argument is that Vietnam’s economic transformation has framed scientific and technological activities. In addition, I examine the scientific and technological sector’s evolution and its connection to the creation of a National Innovation System. I also evaluate the performance of the scientific and technological sector within the international context. Finally, I introduce some reflections about the importance of strengthening science, technology and innovation as a key for the development of Vietnamese society.

Keywords : Vietnam; Dổi mới reforms; science, technology and innovation policies.
