The V-KIST is a joint project between the governments of Vietnam and the Republic of Korea, aiming to boost sci-tech research and application in Vietnam.

Kum Donghwa, a representative from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) shared experience in the operation of KIST and affirmed that the institute will support Vietnam in building the Vietnam-Korea Institute of Science and Technology.
 
Nguyen Dinh Hau, Director of the Department of Science and Technology for Economic-Technical Branches, said the V-KIST is expected to address technological issues facing Vietnamese firms.
 
Director Hau said there is a large gap in technology development between Vietnamese enterprises and their international peers, adding that most advanced technologies available in the country are concentrated in the foreign-funded sector.
 
According to Nguyen Anh Dung, deputy head of the MoST’s support centre for technology transfers, the sectors that have the highest demand for technological improvement include agricultural produce processing and mechanics.
