Throughout the nation’s development journey, intellectuals and science have consistently played a pioneering role in lighting the way toward the future. “Light of Knowledge” was created as a special forum to honor the outstanding scientific works and award-winning research achievements of Vietnamese scientists across different periods. At the same time, the program portrays the persistent creative journey that connects science to the country's destiny and prosperity.
According to the production team, each featured project is not only a professional achievement but also a milestone of knowledge that contributes to solving practical challenges, improving quality of life, and affirming Vietnam’s intellectual standing on the international stage. Through these stories, the program conveys a clear message: investing in science means investing in the nation’s sustainable future.

The program also embodies the vision of General Secretary To Lam, who has emphasized that science, technology, and innovation are foundational pillars for national development. After nearly 40 years of Renewal, Vietnam’s community of intellectuals and scientists has made significant contributions to industrialization and modernization. They have become a core force in advancing science and technology and developing high-quality human resources.
Beyond mere recognition, “Light of Knowledge” contextualizes scientific works within the broader trajectory of national development. It clarifies the role of science in policymaking, production and business, education and training, and improving people’s living standards. By doing so, the program helps bring the Party’s policies on science and technology development into practice in a vivid and persuasive way.

Spreading Development Aspirations in a New Era
This spirit is reaffirmed in the documents of the 13th and 14th National Party Congresses, which highlight science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation as strategic breakthroughs and primary drivers for enhancing productivity, competitiveness, and sustainable growth. The 14th Congress further emphasizes transitioning toward a growth model based on knowledge, technology, and high-value-added industries, building a national innovation ecosystem, and strengthening collaboration among the State, scientists, and enterprises.
Resolution No. 71 of the Politburo, in parallel, lays the foundation for high-quality human resource development, aiming to transform Vietnam into a developed, high-income country by 2045. As these significant policies and resolutions continue to take effect, Light of Knowledge spreads a spirit of action, inspiring dedication and transforming intellectual potential into developmental strength.
