The Prime Minister issued Decision 21/2026/QD-TTg dated 30 April 2026 (effective 1 July 2026) promulgating the List of Strategic Technologies and the List of Strategic Technology Products, replacing Decision 1131/QD-TTg dated 12 June 2025. The list covers 10 strategic technology domains: digital technology (AI, big data, cloud computing, blockchain, IoT), next-generation mobile networks, robotics and automation, biotechnology and biomedical sciences, advanced energy and materials, semiconductor chips, cybersecurity and quantum technology, ocean and underground technology, aviation and space, and high-speed rail. The list of strategic technology products includes 30 products in two groups: those with existing markets (such as AI, chips, robots, clean energy) and future foundational technologies (such as quantum computing, rare earths, small modular nuclear reactors). This list may influence tax incentives for businesses investing in high-tech sectors.
