Particularly, the labor productivity of enterprises with high science and technology content in key industries and services is 1.57 times higher than the social labor productivity of the city.

Total revenue of goods and products from scientific research results reaches more than 2,000 billion VND/year. Total factor productivity index (TFP) has always been at a high level, reaching an average of 35.62%, of which the contribution of science and technology to TFP growth is 74%.

The city has more than 144,000 intellectual property applications, including more than 2,500 inventions (the whole country has over 4,000 patents). Human resources for science and technology activities in the city reached more than 21,200 people (about 60,000 people nationwide) - including 188 professors, 1,116 associate professors out of a total of more than 6,800 doctors. The rate of science and technology tasks applied in practice reached 98.8%, an increase of 2.5 times compared to the previous period.
