The Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City recently launched a program called Gov.Star to search for and incubate innovative solutions aimed at improving management capacity in the public sector. The objective of the first program is to find new models and technologies that can address issues related to managing public affairs activities within government departments, People’s Committees, and other entities in the city.
The program encourages individuals, project groups, and businesses with innovative solutions applicable to managing public affairs activities at state management agencies, schools, hospitals, and more to participate. Selected models and solutions will receive financial support and incubation to further develop them for practical pilot implementation.
Through the program, the District 1 People’s Committee has already implemented an application of Geographic Information System (GIS) for tasks such as granting business licenses and regulating temporary sidewalk use. The selection process for Gov.Star involves four phases where project teams are evaluated based on criteria like applicability, capacity for practical implementation, technology application, creativity, economic efficiency, and social impact.
Participants in the program will have access to training, advice, and support from state management agencies to better understand their needs and refine their technology solutions and business models. Nguyen Viet Dung, Director of the Department of Science and Technology in Ho Chi Minh City emphasized the importance of using technology to solve specific problems faced by departments and localities while providing businesses with an opportunity to tailor their solutions according to these needs.
The ultimate goal of Gov.Star is to provide businesses with opportunities to improve their technology solutions by putting them into practical application within the public sector while fostering innovation and technological advancement in public sector management. Interested organizations or individuals can register for Gov.Star through designated focal points within the Department of Science and Technology in Ho Chi Minh City.
In conclusion, Gov.Star is an excellent opportunity for businesses with innovative solutions applicable to managing public affairs activities at state management agencies or other institutions in Ho Chi Minh City or beyond Vietnam’s borders. The program aims to enhance overall efficiency and effectiveness by promoting innovation in public sector management through technological advancements that address specific problems faced by government departments or localities while creating opportunities for growth within businesses themselves through investment into technological development that meets these specific needs.
