The mission of VKIST is to become a leading multi-disciplinary institution in research on applied sciences and the development of advanced technologies focused on industrial sectors and the sustainable economic development of Vietnam. On that basis, the Government of Vietnam and the Government of Korea aim to turn VKIST into a hub connecting science and technology communities of both sides; and become the leader of technology solution provider for market winners in Vietnam.

VKIST’s logo embraces a distinct identity with the symbol of ‘a crane bird outstretching its wings to reach out the world’. This logo was inspired by the image of ‘Chim Lac’ elaborated on the Dong Son bronze drum, which is closely associated with Vietnamese culture and people. The image of a crane with outstretched wings depicts a strong desire to conquer all difficult challenges as what VKIST must go through as a latecomer in the science and technology sphere. The symbol of the flying crane with the red color symbolizes strength, youth and enthusiasm as those VKIST humans with strong wills and desire to conquer the world and become the leaders.

Besides, the red color represents a strong determination and commitment of both VKIST Leaders and staff to providing high-quality technological products to satisfy the needs of domestic and foreign market. The success of VKIST is expected to become a role model for other public research institutions in Vietnam to benchmark and innovate themselves, thereby creating a strong motivation to promote the transformation of the national innovation system as well as the science and technology industry of Vietnam. As a small river always strives to enter the vast ocean, VKIST does long for affirm its position in the international arena.
