This is the biggest non-refundable aid project of KOICA implemented in Vietnam so far.
VKIST was established under the Decree No. 50/ND-CP of the Vietnamese Government dated May 18, 2015 benchmarking the model of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). VKIST is expected to become a leading technology provider for the Vietnamese industry.
VKIST is increasingly improving its research capacity to occupy a leading position, directly contributing to the development of key industries with the goal of shortening the technology gap with developed countries.
