The localities in the leading group are those with favorable natural and geographical conditions, concentrated in the Southeast and Red River Delta regions.
These regions also have a high proportion of industry, construction and services in the economic structure, many industrial parks, developed infrastructure and strong scientific, technological and innovation activities.
Localities in the bottom group are still limited in socio-economic development, not favorable for the development and application of science, technology and innovation in socio-economic development, concentrated in the Central Highlands and the Northern Midlands and Mountains.
Direct comparison of rankings between localities is only relative and is not the main purpose of PII. The reason is that each locality has different conditions, characteristics and development orientations.
The PII index will provide a basis for Government leaders and local leaders to develop policies and decisions to implement the Politburo's Resolution on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation to bring the country to strong development in the new era.
The 2024 PII framework has 52 components, divided into 7 pillars:
- The five input pillars reflect factors that facilitate socio-economic development based on science, technology and innovation, including: Institutions; human capital, research and development; infrastructure; market development level; business development level.
- 2 output pillars reflect the impact of science, technology and innovation on socio-economic development, including: Knowledge, innovation and technology products; impact.
