Positioning Vietnam on the Global Intellectual Property Map: From Institutional Integration to Real Economic Value

29/04/2026 23:16

In the era of the knowledge economy, intellectual property (IP) has become far more than a legal mechanism for protecting inventions or creative works. It is now a strategic pillar that shapes innovation capacity, economic competitiveness, and national standing in global value chains. For Vietnam, the journey over the past two decades has been marked by rapid institutional reform and deeper international integration. Yet the country now faces a more complex challenge: moving beyond building an IP-compliant system toward creating substantial economic value from intellectual assets.

Data as the New Engine of Growth: How Vietnam’s Data Economy Is Reshaping Business, Governance, and National Competitiveness

29/04/2026 23:23

In the digital era, data is no longer merely a byproduct of economic activity—it is increasingly becoming one of the most valuable strategic assets for nations and enterprises alike. Unlike traditional resources such as land, machinery, or fossil fuels, data possesses a unique non-rivalrous characteristic: multiple parties can use the same dataset simultaneously without diminishing its value. This distinctive property allows data to generate scalable economic returns, unlock new business models, and drive innovation across nearly every sector of the economy. For Vietnam, the rise of the data economy presents not only an opportunity for modernization but also a potential pathway toward a new growth model based on productivity, intelligence, and technological sovereignty.
