Phase Two: Expanding the Impact of Aus4Innovation
Since July 2023, the Aus4Innovation program moved into its Phase Two, with a stronger focus on resilient agriculture and food sector. In this phase, the program also spends more effort on the “directionality” of innovation, ensuring that innovation will work toward environmental sustainability and social inclusion, whilst delivering economic outcomes.
The tripartite partnership among Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade – Australia’s national science agency (CSIRO) – Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology continues to be the strong foundation for Aus4Innovation program to operate, particularly in the context of the 50th anniversary of the Australia – Vietnam bilateral relations celebration in 2023, and the elevation to the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two countries in 2024.
Phase One: Establishing the Collaboration in Science, Technology, and Innovation
The Aus4Innovation program was announced in 2018 to support Australia and Vietnam to jointly explore emerging areas of technology and digital transformation, trial new models for partnerships among key actors in the innovation system, and strengthen Vietnamese capability in digital foresight, scenario planning, commercialisation, and innovation policy.
Aus4Innovation is funded by Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, co-funded and managed by CSIRO – Australia’s national science agency, and delivered in a strategic partnership with Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology.
