  • First Online:
Knowledge Transformation and Innovation in Global Society

Abstract

The goal of this article is to learn about Vietnam’s innovation capability by utilizing data from the Global Innovation Index (GII). The authors attempt to obtain an overview of Vietnam’s innovation capacity from 2011 to 2022. A comparative analysis of the Global Innovative Index among Vietnam and other Asia–Pacific nations was conducted in order to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses through descriptive data and then analyze the growth of Vietnam’s innovation capabilities. Following that, the authors propose various strategies to enhance Vietnam’s ranking and score in the future. Some of the strategies will be mentioned in the article such as strengthening public governance for innovation systems (institutions), building human resources for innovation (human capital and research), and enhancing the contributions of state universities and research institutes (infrastructure).
