Against the backdrop of rapid global economic development and continuous technological progress, high-tech enterprises have become the core force driving national innovation and development. The Vietnamese government has a deep understanding of this and has listed the cultivation and development of high-tech enterprises as an important part of the national strategy. The recognition of high-tech enterprises is not only an honor, but also an important way for enterprises to obtain government support and preferential policies.
For enterprises, obtaining high-tech enterprise qualification means many strategic advantages:
First, tax incentives are the most direct economic benefit. High-tech enterprises can enjoy significantly lower corporate income tax rates, which greatly reduces the tax burden of enterprises and provides more financial support for their R&D investment and business expansion.
Secondly, preferential policies in land use and talent introduction have created favorable conditions for the long-term development of enterprises. These policies support enterprises to better attract high-end talents and obtain key resources.
Furthermore, the recognition of high-tech enterprises brings brand effect and market recognition to enterprises, which helps enterprises stand out in market competition and attract more business cooperation opportunities and investments.
Finally, as the objects of key government support, high-tech enterprises are often more likely to obtain support from various government projects and the favor of industrial funds, which provides strong backing for the continuous innovation of enterprises.
Vietnam’s strategy to promote the development of high-tech is based on its deep insight into the country’s long-term development. In recent years, Vietnam’s economy has maintained rapid growth, but it is also facing the challenges of industrial structure optimization and economic transformation. In this context, the development of high-tech industries has become a key choice for Vietnam to achieve sustainable development.
First, Vietnam is trying to get rid of its dependence on labor-intensive industries. By developing high-tech industries, Vietnam aims to improve its position in the industrial chain, increase economic added value, and thus occupy a more advantageous position in the global value chain.
Secondly, facing increasingly fierce international competition, Vietnam realizes that only by mastering core technologies can it maintain competitiveness in the future economic landscape. The cultivation of high-tech enterprises is an important way to enhance the country’s overall innovation capabilities.
Furthermore, Vietnam is actively responding to the challenge of the gradual disappearance of the demographic dividend. The development of high-tech industries will help improve labor productivity and ease the pressure brought by rising labor costs.
In addition, the Vietnamese government recognizes that the development of high-tech plays an important role in attracting foreign investment and promoting international cooperation. By providing preferential policies, Vietnam hopes to attract more multinational companies to set up R&D centers and high-tech production bases in Vietnam.
Finally, the development of high-tech industries is also an important measure for Vietnam to cope with climate change and promote sustainable development. Many high-tech technologies, such as new energy and new materials, are closely related to environmental protection and sustainable development.
In this context, the Vietnamese government has formulated a series of policies, including the “2021-2030 Economic and Social Development Strategy under the Vision 2030” and the “Science and Technology Innovation Development Strategy to 2030”, which clearly propose to vigorously develop high-tech industries and build Vietnam into a regional innovation center. The high-tech enterprise certification system is an important part of this series of policies, which aims to identify and support enterprises with real innovation capabilities and development potential.
By implementing the recognition of high-tech enterprises, the Vietnamese government hopes to create a good innovation ecosystem, encourage more companies to increase R&D investment, promote technological innovation, and ultimately achieve the goals of industrial upgrading and high-quality economic development.
For companies that intend to invest in Vietnam or are already operating in Vietnam, a deep understanding of the importance and background of high-tech enterprise recognition will not only help them seize policy dividends, but also better integrate corporate development strategies with Vietnam’s national development strategies to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

Secondly, enterprises can enjoy a 4-year tax exemption period, followed by a 50% reduction in tax for the next 9 years. In addition, qualified R&D expenses incurred by enterprises can be deducted by 50% when calculating taxable income. For fixed assets used for R&D, enterprises can also use accelerated depreciation.
In terms of land use, high-tech enterprises can also enjoy significant benefits. Enterprises can enjoy land rent exemption for up to 15 years, and can enjoy a 50% reduction in land rent for a period of time thereafter. In high-tech parks, high-tech enterprises can also enjoy priority site selection rights. For enterprises investing in designated high-tech parks, the government may provide infrastructure construction subsidies.
To support the international development of high-tech enterprises, Vietnam provides a series of import and export tax incentives. Raw materials, parts and equipment used for the research and development and production of high-tech products that cannot be produced in Vietnam are exempt from import tax. High-tech products can enjoy export tax exemptions. Certain high-tech products and services can also enjoy VAT exemptions or zero tax rates.
In addition to the above major benefits, high-tech enterprises can also receive a number of financial supports. Enterprises can apply for low-interest or interest-free loans from the National Science and Technology Development Fund, and certain key projects can receive direct government funding. Enterprises can receive partial subsidies for the cost of training highly skilled personnel. In terms of intellectual property rights, enterprises can receive application fee subsidies and fast-track services for protection. Partial subsidies can also be received for the cost of participating in international exhibitions, and priority can be given to participating in trade promotion activities organized by the government. In terms of financing, high-tech enterprises can receive priority for commercial loans guaranteed by the government, and certain high-tech fields can also receive special venture capital support.
It should be noted that these preferential policies may change according to Vietnam’s economic development and industrial policy adjustments. When applying for high-tech enterprise certification, enterprises should understand the latest policy regulations in detail and continue to pay attention to policy updates after obtaining certification to maximize the use of these preferential policies.
At the same time, enterprises should also realize that the purpose of these preferential policies is to encourage continuous innovation and technological progress. Therefore, enterprises should not only regard obtaining high-tech enterprise certification as a means to enjoy tax incentives, but should use it as a driving force to improve their own technological strength and enhance market competitiveness. Only by organically combining policy incentives with the company’s own innovation and development strategy can long-term success be achieved in Vietnam’s high-tech industry.
