promulgated Plan No.104/KH-UBND implementing the Prime Minister’s Directive

Industry 4.0. As a State management agency on science and technology, the
provincial Department of Science and Technology is tasked to actively carry
out this plan by building database on science-technology and promoting
information-technology infrastructure. Simultaneously is maintaining the Local
Area Network (LAN) system, investing in equipment, and upgrading server system,
and anti-virus software in addition to updating and digitalising database and
developing the Vietnam Research and Education Network (VINAREN) to serve
network connection and share data on science-technology. It is also important
to ensure information safety and security.
Since the promulgation of the plan, the
Department of Science and Technology has actively implemented some key tasks
entrusted by the provincial People’s Committee ahead of schedule. For example,
the department has consulted the committee to cooperate with the Ministry of
Science and Technology and the Hanoi-based
Vietnam
National
University in the field.
The conduction of science-technology research at the provincial level is
carried out effectively. The department has completed 13 research projects from
2015 to 2017 and signed 15 new research contracts in 2017 alone. It will
conduct 10 new research projects in 2018. The department has also organised a
policy dialogue supporting businesses with science-technology development. It
has worked with the Department of Intellectual Property to complete a
collective brand name dossier for Tan Lac red-flesh grapefruits, Da river fish
and shrimp products, and geographic indication certification for Cam Phong
oranges. This will help localities to promote their products. Furthermore, the
department has coordinated with relevant departments to realise the project
implementing the national programme "One Commune, One Product” in the 2017-2020
period, with a vision to 2030./.

Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age. It is home to 6,000 businesses and production facilities, providing employment for over 100,000 workers.

The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 2767/QD-UBND announcing the rankings of departments, agencies, districts and Hoa Binh city in the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR) and the Satisfaction Index of Public Administration Services (SIPAS) in 2024.
The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
In 2024, the total state budget revenue of Hoa Binh Province is estimated at approximately VND 6,930 billion, achieving 183% of the Government’s target, 126% of the target assigned by the Provincial People's Council, and 145% compared to the same period last year.
