policy framework on investment incentives with outstanding and competitive
incentives, creating favorable business conditions to attract strategic
investors, corporations. multinational investment to locate and establish
research and development (R&D) centers and innovation centers in Vietnam.
Actively monitoring and assessing the trend of FDI and technology flows into

point to pay attention to in the coming time. For businesses, there should be
solutions for FDI enterprises to implement social responsibility for employees
when participating in new generation FTAs in Vietnam through capacity

strengthen international cooperation to attract foreign direct investment
capital in the main fields of green growth such as clean energy, agriculture,
industry, consumption... Especially In particular, it is necessary to attach
importance to financial resources as leverage. For businesses, in order to go
green, businesses need to clearly identify challenges and opportunities, ensure
compliance with environmental regulations, innovate technology and improve
production efficiency, arrange restructuring, limiting the development of
economic sectors that generate large waste, cause pollution, degrade the
environment, use resources economically and efficiently, and form a team of
"green" entrepreneurs of the country.
Third, Vietnam needs to move towards
digitization of the economy. To move towards digitization, the Government needs
to develop and perfect institutions, laws and policies to create a framework
for the development of the digital economy. Establish a specialized, competent
and highly responsible institutional agency in the development of the digital
economy, usually under the Government with the participation and coordination

development opportunities, the development of e-commerce is essential.
For the Government, the Government needs
to make efforts to perfect the legal framework and effectively implement tax
policies for e-commerce activities. Increased investment in science and
technology is needed to modernize and synchronize digital technology. Human
resources to serve in this field need to be properly invested and trained,
improved skills in using technology, and at the same time able to improvise to
any situation occurring in cyberspace. Along with the expansion and application
of technology, the Government needs to take measures to create software to
protect the privacy and information of users, as well as policies for handling
when there are any components. infringing and abusing technology to gain profit
and endanger the development of commercial and business activities on digital
platforms.
For enterprises, businesses need to act

in maintaining production, ensuring the supply chain to be proactive in all
situations. It is necessary to research and apply new business models such as
sharing economy model, affiliate business model... with the help of technology
to help businesses refine business plans and capture market needs.
Fifth, need the application technology

Vietnam needs to develop a clear framework of digital facilitation measures in
trade to ensure their effectiveness and feasibility in the process of
application and implementation. These measures need the coordination and participation
of all parties involved in international trade activities, from import-export
enterprises to state management agencies of exporting and importing countries,
the Linkages between governments are also essential. The issue of digital
security also needs to be carefully considered and should be considered an
important issue when applying digital facilitation measures for trade. It is
necessary to have plans and roadmaps in the process of applying digital
technology and have educational activities to improve knowledge and awareness
of safety and security.
