Overseas Vietnamese encouraged to take part in sci-tech researchOverseas Vietnamese play an important role in developing Vietnam’s economy by contributing their talent and intelligence in the science and technology field, a deputy minister of Science and Technology said recently in HCM City. At the conference, many young overseas Vietnamese spoke about the encouraging results of their start-up businesses in the country. Nguyen Trong Nhan, an overseas Vietnamese from France who is director of FABLAB Sai Gon, now has seven FABLAB around the country and 1,500 worldwide. David Ngo also said the Government should create a transparent legal framework to attract overseas Vietnamese to work in the country. “If the Government does not release a breakthrough policy, it will be hard to invite overseas Vietnamese to take part in scientific and technology research,” Nguyen Phu Binh, chairman of the Liaison Committee for Overseas Vietnamese, said.
