Addressing the 18th Congress of Hanoi Party Committee for the 2025-2030 term, General Secretary To Lam emphasized VNU’s role as the nucleus of a “knowledge innovation pole”, leading the creative capacity of the entire Capital. Throughout Hanoi’s development, VNU has consistently served as a central knowledge hub, bringing together advanced scientific and technological values and a high-quality expert workforce, making important contributions to the goal of building a civilized, modern, smart, and sustainable Capital.
In recent years, VNU has signed and implemented numerous comprehensive cooperation programs with Hanoi in such areas as smart urban planning, public governance, education, healthcare, environment, social security, digital transformation, and high-quality human resource development. VNU’s experts regularly participate in policy advisory and social critique activities, and lead strategic studies on urban development, heritage conservation, climate change adaptation, and urban space management.
To enhance the transfer of research outcomes for socio-economic development, VNU has proactively invested in modern infrastructure, implemented advanced training programs, and developed key research projects linked to applied products. Notably, VNU is currently developing the National Integrated Circuit Design–Fabrication–Testing Center, along with a system of shared-use laboratories in Hoa Lac. By October 2025, VNU had established 48 VNU-level strong research groups, including those oriented toward basic research, applied research, and pilot production.
