Many research results have been successfully applied in practical production, forming products with high economic value, contributing to enhancing the competitiveness of female-owned businesses.

Right from the initial phase of implementing Project 939, the Department of Science and Technology proactively advised the Provincial People's Committee to issue specific plans, especially Plan No. 89/KH-UBND, to concretize the central government's policy. This helps to form a synchronous policy system, creating a favorable legal environment and encouraging women to confidently start businesses in many fields. This not only helps women easily access support resources but also creates a premise for developing a creative startup ecosystem in Thai Nguyen.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy, Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology, said: "In the 2017-2025 period, Thai Nguyen province approved 57 science and technology tasks led by women, with a total funding of over 109 billion VND. Of which, the provincial science and technology budget is over 63 billion VND, the rest is counterpart capital from participating businesses and organizations. Many research results have been successfully applied in practical production, forming products with high economic value, contributing to enhancing the competitiveness of female-owned businesses.”

Recently, the Department of Science and Technology has organized many events and activities for innovation and entrepreneurship, held training courses on smart startups and digital transformation, etc., to create a creative space and support the development of many potential ideas led by women. The Department of Science and Technology has also coordinated with the Provincial Women's Union to promote communication programs and training to improve digital awareness and IT application skills in production and business for female members. Women are equipped with knowledge of using digital platforms such as C-Thai Nguyen, the electronic administrative procedure system, cashless payment, putting products on e-commerce platforms, and online marketing...

To continue promoting the achieved results, in the coming period, the Thai Nguyen Department of Science and Technology will advise the Provincial People's Committee to develop and implement a project to support women's innovative startups in the 2026-2030 period. The project's objectives are to provide comprehensive support, focusing on strengthening preferential credit support and establishing a Women's Startup Support Fund; promoting training in digital skills, e-commerce, and business administration for women; prioritizing the implementation of science and technology projects led by women, especially in the fields of agriculture, processing, and OCOP products; establishing co-working spaces at universities and industrial parks; organizing investment promotion events, connecting supply and demand, and promoting products made by women. Special attention will be paid to disadvantaged, mountainous, and ethnic minority areas through vocational training and the development of startup models associated with community tourism and organic agriculture.
