Australia has committed to providing AUD 10 million to help Viet Nam strengthen the national innovation system.

Under the project, Vietnamese and Australian researchers will collaborate to identify scenarios of the impacts of technological, environmental, social and economic trends on Vietnamese economy over the next decades.here will be two case studies which are expected to provide insight into the future of agriculture and manufacturing, as priority sectors critical for sustained economic growth and at risk from digital transformation./.
