On the morning of February 19, the National Assembly passed a resolution that allows the pilot to control the investment in satellite telecommunications network using low -end orbit satellite technology.
This is one of the breakthrough points prescribed in the resolution of a number of special mechanisms and policies to create a breakthrough to develop science and technology, innovate innovation and transformation of national numbers. The pilot is based on the principle of national defense and security, which is not limited to the ratio of shares, capital contribution or contribution rate of foreign investors.
The Standing Committee of the National Assembly said that at present, low -level satellite technology is mainly owned and deployed by a small number of foreign enterprises, such as the Starlink system of SpaceX Group (USA), the Kupier system of the episode. Amazon delegation (USA), Oneweb’s Oneweb system (UK).
In particular, the largest is SpaceX supplied in more than 110 countries and territories. With technological advantages, foreign enterprises such as SpaceX when deploying satellite services in countries all propose to implement a 100% foreign capital investment model. In ASEAN, some countries such as Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia have also allowed businesses to 100% foreign capital to invest in low -range satellite services.

This policy is also consistent with the requirements in Resolution 57/2024 of the Politburo, which is the development of telecommunications infrastructure, the Internet meets the requirements of backup, connection, safety and sustainability of data transmission system via Satellite, high -speed bandwidth cable network cover nationwide, mobile information network 5G, 6G and next generations.
According to the National Assembly Standing Committee, in order to attract foreign businesses to invest in implementing low -end satellite services in Vietnam in accordance with the policy of the Party and the State, it is necessary to have policies to loosen access conditions. The market for the ownership of foreign investors. Foreign corporations investing in low -level satellite services in Vietnam will contribute to expanding the broadband Internet coverage, especially in remote areas, islands, where ground telecommunication infrastructure is still limited. .
This policy “ensures that all people have access to Internet services; at the same time, contributing to improving the image of Vietnam, attracting more investment from major technology corporations in the world and creating more jobs “.

The scientist is determined to use the research project
The resolution stipulates that the result of the implementation of science and technology tasks using the state budget, the agency and research organization is separately monitored with property, not accounting for the assets of the group. function, not determining the remaining price, the remaining value, depreciation, and property wear.
The research agency is autonomous, self -decided and self -responsible for using assets without pricing in leasing, transferring the right to use, business, joint venture, linkage not forming legal entities new. When implementing this content, the research facility does not need to prepare a project or report to the competent authority according to the regulations on the management and use of public property.
In addition, they are sold and transfer assets; Contributing capital with assets to joint ventures and links forming new legal entities comply with the provisions of the law on the management and use of public assets.
According to the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, this provision is to promptly remove obstacles in the provisions on assets formed from scientific and technological tasks. In essence and according to international practices, assets formed from research tasks are considered as a funding, not a direct investment and the State shall divide profits immediately.
All assets when commercialized and profitable, the State will gain benefits through tax collection. This policy solves the delay of the implementation of administrative procedures and especially difficulties in asset valuation.
Contracting, taking risks in scientific development
According to the resolution, scientific and technological tasks are carried out in the form of contract to the final product when the organization shall assume the prime responsibility for performing scientific and technological tasks that are committed to the product of the task with the target. The quality is mainly needed.
Organize the presiding over the tasks of autonomy and self -responsibility to decide on the use of contracts; be adjusted to the spending content; decide the use of funds from labor to hire domestic and foreign experts at the agreed funding level.
Organizations and individuals studying scientific and technological development are exempted from civil liability when causing damage to the State in the process of performing tasks – when fulfilling the processes and regulations. .
The researcher using the state budget during the implementation process has fully implemented the regulations on management of science and technology tasks, the process and the research content have been explained but does not come to the results. As expected, it is not required to return the use.
In addition to the above policies, the Resolution also added many regulations to remove problems for scientific development and innovation such as tax exemption and reduction with income from scientific research activities; The state prioritizes investment in science; rapid development of 5G infrastructure and sea fiber cable; Building semiconductor chip laboratory …
The resolution piloted a number of special mechanisms and policies to create a breakthrough to develop science and technology, innovate innovation and convert the national numbers to be effective from the National Assembly’s day.
