He called on participants to review achievements, identify shortcomings and their underlying causes, and propose solutions focusing on the review of 2026 tasks and orientations for 2027; assessment of progress in addressing the major challenges already announced; development of a list of major challenges for the 2026–2030 period; finalization of the 2027 Information Technology Application and Digital Transformation Plan; and resolution of difficulties and obstacles encountered during implementation.At the meeting, the Department of Science and Technology reported on the results achieved during the first ten months of the year, along with key tasks for the final two months of 2026 and for 2027. Of the 17 assigned socio-economic targets, eight had been achieved or exceeded, while the remaining nine were still being implemented. The city allocated VND 866.254 billion from the state budget for science and technology development, innovation and digital transformation, equivalent to 1.52% of its total local budget expenditure in 2026.<figure class="image"><img src="https://bacninh.gov.vn/documents/37632/0/1+%2819%29.gif/6f3c4cb6-b50b-e6a1-57d4-1533a66a0f7c?t=1792745627299"></figure>Director of the Department of Science and Technology Than Trung Kien speaks at the meeting.In digital transformation, efforts continued to improve institutional and policy frameworks, develop digital infrastructure and shared platforms, and build digital data resources. As of October 21, 2026, the Department of Science and Technology offered 271 administrative procedures, of which 238 were available as fully online public services. The department received 2,244 applications, all submitted online. Of these, 2,204 were processed on time, 34 were being processed within the prescribed time limit, and six were overdue.Despite these achievements, implementation continued to face challenges, including shortages of human resources, inadequate information technology infrastructure at some agencies, difficulties in connecting and sharing sector-specific data, and obstacles relating to mechanisms for implementing certain science and technology and innovation tasks.Regarding the major challenges identified for 2026, 21 tasks had been announced, comprising 16 city-level tasks and five commune-level tasks. Of these, two had been completed, six remained under implementation, and eight were proposed for removal from the list because shared systems were already available, the tasks had been incorporated into other projects or programmes, or they were no longer aligned with practical needs. The review aims to concentrate resources on urgent priorities and avoid duplicated, fragmented or inefficient investment.For the 2026–2030 period, the Department of Science and Technology had invited departments, agencies, local authorities, associations and businesses to propose major challenges, providing a basis for developing a list that reflects practical needs.<figure class="image"><img src="https://bacninh.gov.vn/documents/37632/0/2+%2813%29.gif/882adc2a-24dd-a3a2-c15e-092607fa94f7?t=1792745644212"></figure>Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology Le Xuan Tam presents a report at the meeting.The draft 2027 Information Technology Application and Digital Transformation Plan sets out orientations for further strengthening digital infrastructure, improving connectivity and interoperability, enhancing data utilization, developing digital platforms, adopting emerging technologies, ensuring information security, and improving service quality for citizens and businesses.Proposed tasks and projects must stem from actual needs, clearly define deliverables and expected outcomes, demonstrate investment effectiveness, and be supported by feasible resource allocations. They must also avoid duplication, fragmented implementation and wasteful spending.Representatives of departments, agencies and local authorities discussed difficulties in connecting and sharing sector-specific data, upgrading information technology infrastructure, ensuring cybersecurity and network security, implementing online public services, disbursing science and technology funding, improving workforce quality, and establishing mechanisms to attract talent.Participants also focused on criteria for reviewing, selecting and proposing major challenges for the 2026–2030 period. They stressed that proposed tasks must address genuine practical needs, be urgent, and be feasible for the relevant agencies, units and local authorities.<figure class="image"><img src="https://bacninh.gov.vn/documents/37632/0/6+%286%29.gif/e18e5741-a3cb-bc19-8a62-5c73f81aa677?t=1792745666112"></figure>Senior Colonel Than Van Duy, Deputy Director of the Bac Ninh City Public Security speaks at the meeting.In his concluding remarks, Vice Chairman Dao Thanh Truong acknowledged and commended the efforts and results achieved by the Department of Science and Technology and other departments and agencies.Digital transformation initiatives had been implemented in a relatively coordinated manner, while the shared data repository and the Intelligent Operations Center (IOC) had begun to demonstrate their value in supporting leadership, management and operational decision-making. Notably, the city's Provincial Innovation Index (PII) score reached 50.96 points, placing Bac Ninh fifth nationwide.However, given that science and technology, innovation and digital transformation are designated as key breakthrough priorities, the Vice Chairman stressed that future efforts must deliver substantive, measurable results that citizens and businesses can clearly experience. He emphasized that implementation must not become a box-ticking exercise focused merely on producing reports.Regarding the approach to implementation, he called on agencies to shift decisively from merely “implementing documents” to “designing policies”. Agencies were required to proactively review the effectiveness of the 25 legal normative documents already issued before proposing new regulations.He also urged departments to draw lessons from the recent proposal to remove eight major challenges from the list, ensuring that actual bottlenecks are accurately identified before technological solutions are sought. This approach is intended to prevent scattered priorities and initiatives pursued merely as a trend.<figure class="image"><img src="https://bacninh.gov.vn/documents/37632/0/8+%284%29.gif/6fc14cfd-6f67-82f6-7d92-2530b5bcb26c?t=1792745692473"></figure>Deputy Director of the Department of Finance Nguyen Thuy Linh speaks at the meeting.The Department of Science and Technology was tasked with strengthening its capacity to anticipate strategic technology trends, including artificial intelligence, the semiconductor industry and the data economy, so that the city could act proactively. The Vice Chairman stressed that agencies must not shy away from difficult tasks or seek extensions or exemptions from assigned targets. As a case in point, the department was instructed to proactively commission research into methodologies for measuring the contribution of science and technology to gross regional domestic product (GRDP).At the same time, the city will assess performance based on applied products with clearly identified end users. It will pursue greater flexibility in commissioning research and procuring services, while allowing for risks inherent in research activities. The city will also leverage its status as a centrally governed municipality to propose special policy mechanisms, link science and technology with key industrial sectors, and strengthen its workforce by building a team of dedicated personnel with the practical capacity to deliver results.Regarding immediate priorities, Dao Thanh Truong requested that the Department of Science and Technology urgently complete a comprehensive review of all tasks assigned for 2026, ensuring that the 2027 work plan could be implemented from the beginning of the year.<figure class="image"><img src="https://bacninh.gov.vn/documents/37632/0/4+%2811%29.gif/c0484bc2-ed63-1191-bed7-432e8639b242?t=1792746165549"></figure>Vice Chairman Dao Thanh Truong delivers his concluding remarks.For the list of major challenges for the 2026–2030 period, departments and agencies must submit their proposals before November 10, 2026, with the finalized list scheduled for completion and announcement before December 15, 2026. Relevant sectors are responsible for accurately identifying operational and professional bottlenecks, while the Department of Science and Technology will work alongside them to translate these challenges into technology-related problems that can be addressed through research and innovation.Regarding the 2027 digital transformation plan, agencies must carefully assess the feasibility of proposed initiatives and the resources required for their operation and maintenance to avoid fragmented investment.For the IOC system in particular, the city called for a decisive shift towards API-based connectivity to enable automatic data updates. Artificial intelligence should also be applied to proactively analyze information, generate alerts and deliver them directly to city leaders, rather than requiring them to access the system manually.The Vice Chairman also instructed the Department of Science and Technology and the Office of the Bac Ninh City People’s Committee to compile all outstanding issues relating to financial mechanisms and science and technology development funds, clarify the authority responsible for addressing each issue, and promptly translate the meeting’s conclusions into a detailed action plan for strict implementation by all relevant agencies and units./.P.H

Along previously narrow roads, many households have voluntarily donated land and dismantled fences and gates to widen roadways, improving local travel and trade while gradually upgrading residential infrastructure.In recent years, Trung Chinh Commune has reviewed and identified roads requiring upgrading and expansion, with main roads planned to be at least 7 meters wide and secondary roads at least 4 meters wide. With an emphasis on promoting the role of residents as key participants, local authorities have stepped up public communication and mobilization efforts to build consensus throughout implementation. To date, 250 households across the commune have voluntarily donated nearly 4,000 square meters of residential land to widen five main roads in local villages.<figure class="image"><img src="https://bacninh.gov.vn/documents/37632/167920202/1792645717404_341575817981082915_7010270364376706263_4f2e944f5903b733c69416112d59cd8b.jpg/0a51ff3d-9b2d-58d8-754f-9c759768f28f?t=1792651639675"></figure>Deputy Secretary Tran Huy Phuong and Chairwoman the City Fatherland Front Committee Nguyen Thi Ha inspect rural road expansion works in Trung Chinh Commune.Thanks to the collective efforts and close collaboration of local residents, many roads have been progressively widened and paved, enhancing the overall appearance of residential areas and contributing to a more modern, well-maintained living environment. In recognition of these positive developments, Tran Huy Phuong urged the local Party committee and authorities to sustain the land-donation campaign and further encourage community participation in upgrading and expanding local transport infrastructure.The delegation subsequently inspected the progress of the resettlement area in Trung Chinh Commune, which is being developed to serve the Gia Binh International Airport Construction Investment Project. Covering a planned area of more than 173 hectares, the resettlement site is currently undergoing the development of technical and social infrastructure, housing for residents, public facilities and religious structures in accordance with the approved plan.<figure class="image"><img src="https://bacninh.gov.vn/documents/37632/167920202/1792645717344_341575817981082915_7010270364376706263_85a002bc67c92d3a1afcc0e1293c140d.jpg/e8146bf0-d824-707e-5d51-f048a77d282f?t=1792651977807"></figure>Deputy Secretary Tran Huy Phuong and Chairwoman of the City Fatherland Front Committee Nguyen Thi Ha inspect infrastructure development at the resettlement area in Trung Chinh Commune.The project is an important undertaking to ensure adequate resettlement conditions for households subject to relocation, while helping address difficulties in site clearance and meet the implementation schedule of this key project. Given its substantial scale, the development of the resettlement area requires close coordination among relevant agencies, units and local authorities, particularly in completing infrastructure, allocating and handing over land, and assisting residents with home construction.Following the site inspection, Deputy Secretary Tran Huy Phuong instructed relevant specialized agencies and local authorities to review outstanding issues and promptly resolve emerging difficulties and obstacles. He called for accelerated completion of technical infrastructure, ensuring an integrated system of roads, sidewalks, electricity supply, water supply and drainage, and other essential facilities so that residents can begin building their homes and stabilize their lives as soon as possible.<figure class="image"><img src="https://bacninh.gov.vn/documents/37632/167920202/1792645717393_341575817981082915_7010270364376706263_cf4607eda34adbe11f389316c8b741a8.jpg/508c119a-0adf-0a84-df81-c69a3f050528?t=1792651904919"></figure>Deputy Secretary Tran Huy Phuong and Chairwoman of the City Fatherland Front Committee Nguyen Thi Ha inspect rural road expansion works in Trung Chinh Commune.The Deputy Secretary also stressed that, alongside accelerating construction, the local Party committee and authorities must proactively understand residents' circumstances, concerns and aspirations, while strengthening public communication and engagement to build consensus throughout the implementation process. Flexible solutions and support policies should be applied in accordance with regulations to help households complete the necessary procedures, receive their allocated land promptly and begin constructing homes in the resettlement area.He emphasized that project implementation must go hand in hand with safeguarding residents' living conditions. Particular attention must be paid to the timely and comprehensive completion of essential infrastructure, enabling relocated households to settle into their new homes and rebuild their lives as soon as possible.P.H

The city’s gross regional domestic product (GRDP) was estimated to grow by 11.81% in the first nine months of the year, ranking fourth among 34 provinces and cities nationwide. The growing scale of investment has driven rising demand for quality housing and living environments among international experts, engineers, managers and workers.<figure class="image"><img src="https://bacninh.gov.vn/documents/37632/167920202/12-6.png/58f47344-cf7a-e259-0c97-da1f61bcd68d?t=1791795894131"></figure>Vice Chairman Pham Van Thinh delivers the opening remarks.Vice Chairman Pham Van Thinh said that, since March 2026, the city People’s Committee had directed relevant agencies to review and publicly disclose the list of housing projects in which foreign organizations and individuals are permitted to own property, together with the applicable ownership limits. To date, the city has issued 498 certificates to foreign organizations and individuals, with 100% of applications processed on time. These results provide a basis for developing a data system and an information guide on housing for foreign residents.He called on delegates to assess actual demand, the ability of existing housing supply to meet that demand, and difficulties in accessing information, conducting transactions and completing administrative procedures. They were also asked to propose solutions to improve the public disclosure and connectivity of information on housing projects, ownership conditions and procedures, while clearly distinguishing issues within the city’s authority from those requiring recommendations to central-level authorities.Emphasizing the goal of building a city with a high quality of life for both residents and the international community, Vice Chairman Pham Van Thinh expressed his hope that the seminar’s discussions would be translated into practical and feasible solutions, enabling businesses to invest with confidence and experts to settle in the city for the long term, thereby improving the investment environment and enhancing Bac Ninh’s competitiveness.<figure class="image"><img src="https://bacninh.gov.vn/documents/37632/84594972/12-17.png/c39600aa-dacd-3b67-5541-734eadc29558?t=1791801850793"></figure>Delegates take a photo at the seminar.At the seminar, presentations examined the current housing supply, the management of housing and residence for foreigners, housing demand among experts and international workers in industrial parks, and the real estate market’s capacity to meet these needs.A panel discussion featuring representatives of relevant departments and agencies, the Bac Ninh City Industrial Parks Authority, the Vietnam Association of Realtors, lawyers and businesses clarified regulations on housing types, ownership eligibility and limits, home purchase and rental procedures, and the issuance of ownership certificates. Participants also discussed the actual needs of FDI enterprises and the potential for developing long-term rental apartments, serviced apartments and integrated residential areas with comprehensive amenities.Delegates highlighted the need to improve data on housing demand, allocate appropriate land, develop transport infrastructure, enhance service quality and strengthen coordination between regulatory agencies and businesses. These measures are expected to help build a transparent housing market that meets the needs of foreigners living and working in Bac Ninh.P.H

On the afternoon of October 12, the Bac Ninh City People’s Committee, in coordination with Vietnam Economic Times, held a seminar entitled “Housing for Foreigners Living and Working in Bac Ninh City” at the city’s Conference Center.

However, site clearance has fallen approximately six months behind the schedule set in the contracts.In Sub-area 112.1, the project covers approximately 299 hectares with a total implementation cost of more than VND 19.714 trillion. Compensation and support plans have been approved for 1,096 households, covering more than 50% of the project area, of which 543 households have received payments.In Sub-area 112.3, the project covers approximately 199 hectares with a total implementation cost of more than VND 11.171 trillion. Compensation plans have been approved for 2,506 out of 2,526 households, equivalent to 92.4% of the project area, but only 1,124 households have received compensation payments.The delay is mainly attributed to a lack of consensus among some residents, who have raised concerns and recommendations regarding compensation and support policies. Difficulties have also arisen in allocating new land and relocating a cemetery in Sub-area 112.3.Concluding the meeting, Chairman Pham Hoang Son asked Tam Son and Tien Du wards to identify site clearance as a key task, mobilize the entire political system, strengthen communications, dialogue and public mobilization to build consensus among residents, and promptly make compensation payments for approved plans.Relevant departments and agencies were tasked with reviewing documents and procedures and promptly resolving difficulties and obstacles. The city's Land Fund Development Center was requested to prioritize personnel for inventorying, preparing compensation plans and making compensation payments.Agencies and units were also asked to regularly update project progress, promptly address legitimate recommendations from residents, and strive to accelerate site clearance, creating favorable conditions for the projects to be implemented on schedule.P.H

On the afternoon of October 7, Chairman of the Bac Ninh city People's Committee Pham Hoang Son chaired a meeting to review progress and accelerate the implementation of investment and construction of new urban, eco-tourism, cultural, resort and entertainment projects in Tam Son and Tien Du wards, Bac Ninh city.

He agreed to continue the pilot on a controlled basis, with service quality, residents' satisfaction and practical effectiveness serving as the key evaluation criteria, rather than focusing solely on implementation speed or achievements.He assigned the Office of the Bac Ninh City People's Committee and the city's Public Administration Service Center to coordinate with relevant departments and agencies to comprehensively review infrastructure, equipment, human resources and the feasibility of deploying the model on a broader scale. Training and guidance for officials should be concise, practical and focused on hands-on practice directly on the system.<figure class="image"><img src="https://bacninh.gov.vn/documents/37632/146724063/6-3.png/f279907f-ade5-a0ef-ac54-f89157bd9ae7?t=1791266891323"></figure>Vice Chairman Dao Thanh Truong experiences the "People's Assistant" model at the Nam Son Ward Public Administrative Service Center.Relevant agencies were asked to urgently finalize the cooperation agreement, clearly defining the responsibilities of each party, mechanisms for data management and use, data protection and incident response.
