According to experts and businesses, through Decree No. 205, the Government has expanded incentives on capital, technology, human resources and markets, creating a strategic "push" for Vietnam's supporting industry to accelerate in the coming time.

Policy advocacy

One of the new policies stipulated in Decree No. 205 is that the decree emphasizes research activities, product development, technology transfer and human resource quality improvement, which are considered the foundation of the processing and manufacturing industry. When enterprises cooperate with research institutes and universities to develop supporting industrial products, they will be supported with up to 50% of the costs for items such as: purchasing machinery, designing models, specialized software, hiring consultants, paying patent fees or product inspection.

Also according to Decree No. 205, capital from the National Technology Innovation Fund, the National Science and Technology Development Fund and current high-tech development programs are effective channels for enterprises participating in the innovation process to access. Enterprises will be supported in the fields of environment, law and quality control... Projects producing supporting industrial products on the priority list are exempted from or have reduced land and water surface rents and enjoy tax incentives and investment policies according to the law.

The above new policies are expected to help enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, access advanced technology, thereby improving product quality and increasing competitiveness in the international market. However, to take advantage of them effectively, enterprises need to improve their technical and financial capacity. In addition, the State continues to have a transparent resource allocation mechanism, avoiding the situation of supporting the wrong subjects, ensuring a real impact on the supporting industry.

Director of Quyet Thang Production Service Trading Company Limited (Tran Bien Ward, specializing in providing automatic vibrating funnels) Ngo Thanh Binh shared that the difficulties of small and medium enterprises are numerous. Among them, factors such as: access to land, preferential credit loans, investment in machinery and technology... are always problems. Small and medium enterprises are enthusiastic but sometimes slow down the pace of development due to barriers. Therefore, the policies put forth need to be ensured to be implemented effectively and practically so that enterprises can benefit.

The shift in global supply chains is an opportunity for Vietnam and businesses to seize to cooperate and bring their products to the big sea. That requires businesses to proactively innovate and upgrade their own capacity; along with that are support policies from the State.
