The conference aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation and discussion on several key areas including the analysis of the international and domestic context to provide strategic forecasts and orientations for Vietnam’s future leading up to 2045.

A national scientific conference themed “Innovating the
National Development Model Based on Science, Technology, Innovation, and
Digital Transformation”  is scheduled to take place on May 26 in northern Hai Phong City.

The event is part of the implementation of the Action
Program of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee following the 14th National Party
Congress. Under the direction of the Politburo, the Central Commission for Policy and Strategy is currently leading the drafting of a major Project titled “Innovating
the National Development Model Based on Science, Technology, Innovation, and
Digital Transformation,” which will be submitted to the 3rd plenum of
the 14th Party Central Committee.

To provide scientific grounds and evidence-based arguments
for the Project, the Commission is collaborating with the Ho Chi Minh National
Academy of Politics, the Central Theory Council, the Hai Phong Municipal Party
Committee, the Communist Review, the National Political Publishing House Truth,
the Vietnam Economic Association, and the Vietnam Economic Times / Vneconomy to
organize this symposium.

The conference aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation

global lessons regarding national development models, specifically those driven
by science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation.

national development model throughout 40 years of Doi Moi ( Economic Renewal) policy,
and the specific orientations set forth in the 14th National Party Congress documents
across all sectors, including the economy, culture, society, national defense,
security, and foreign affairs.

– Clarifying the status of Vietnam’s development
model over the past 40 years, highlighting achievements, limitations, root
causes, and lessons learned.

– Highlighting the experiences of exemplary provinces
and cities nationwide, with a particular focus on Hai Phong’s development model
innovation.

–  Analyzing the international and domestic context
to provide strategic forecasts and orientations for Vietnam’s future leading up
to 2045.

–  Establishing the core components of the national
development model for the 2026-2045 period, including its philosophy,
foundations, pillars, driving forces, and operational mechanisms.

The conference will consist of two main segments: a keynote
