The science and
technology enterprises (S&T Enterprises) means an enterprise implementing
production and business science and technology service to make a goods or
product from results of science research and technology development. The
S&T Enterprise’s operation is based on the successful application and
exploitation of research process in itself or the results of scientific and
technological research from the scientists, organizations or research results
transferred from abroad that they have the lawful ownership use rights. The
Government issued the Decree No. 13/2019/ND-CP dated on February 01st,
2019 on science and technology enterprises.
The setting up of S&T Enterprises in Vietnam is only

With the application of scientific research results and
technological development into production and business activities, S&T
Enterprises not only bring new high quality products which are able to compete
with imported goods, but also encourage science and technology research and
application into production and business. S&T Enterprises are entitled to
enjoy preferential on enterprise income tax exemption and reduction; exemption
and reduction of land and water surface rent; credit incentives;… and

scientific and technological results supplemented by Decree No. 13/2019/ND-CP.
The
promotion of commercialization of science and technology results contributes
actively to the development of the science and technology market, facilitates
the application of research results to real life. Every year, Vietnam has
thousands of research results and inventions from universities, research
institutes, research centers, domestic research groups and foreign organizations

applied to production or commercial products on the market. In order to resolve
this situation, the Vietnamese Government supports the S&T Enterprises
through policies on enjoying import and export tax; use of research equipment
in national key laboratories, technology incubators,… of the State; investment
preferences of the Scientific and Technological Development Fund and other
funds; priority to participate in projects to support the commercialization of
