WELCOME TO IET
IET aims to create “Make in Vietnam” solutions that deliver high practical value, contributing to the national modernization and digital transformation process
Vietnam is entering a phase of robust transformation in its national digital transformation journey. With the vision of transforming the country into a regional hub for technological innovation, the Vietnamese Government has implemented a series of policies and strategies aimed at promoting innovation, developing digital talent, and enhancing scientific research capabilities.
Notably, Politburo Resolution No. 57 from early 2025 has identified science, technology, and innovation as a strategic breakthrough, playing a pivotal role in the nation’s rapid and sustainable development. The resolution also sets the goal that by 2030, Vietnam is to establish a modern science and technology ecosystem comparable to global advanced standards.
Against this backdrop, and amidst the strong global wave of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Automation (Robotics), Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain Technology, Cybersecurity, and Quantum Computing, we recognize the urgent need for a specialized research and training institution focused on emerging technologies, aimed at:
We believe that the combination of IET's in-depth technological research expertise with the market experience and practical needs of businesses will generate breakthroughs and exceptional value.
