Vietnam is accelerating efforts to develop homegrown technological capabilities for its planned high-speed railway network as the government seeks to reduce dependence on foreign contractors and turn the multi-billion-dollar infrastructure program into a catalyst for industrial upgrading.<\/p>\n

At a meeting with several major Vietnamese corporations in Hanoi last Friday, Construction Minister Tran Hong Minh said the initiative is intended not only to support the proposed North-South high-speed railway, but also to establish a domestic railway industry capable of handling the full value chain, from surveying and design to construction, component manufacturing, operations and maintenance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe greater value lies in using the project to build industrial and technological capacity, as well as a highly skilled workforce,\u201d Minh said at the meeting.<\/p>\n

Le Van Duong, director of the department of science, technology, environment and construction materials under the Ministry of Construction, said Vietnam has accumulated experience in major infrastructure projects such as expressways, long-span bridges, tunnels, and underground works.<\/p>\n

However, substantial gaps remain in high-speed rail technology, particularly in specialized standards, ballastless track systems, testing facilities, and skilled engineering personnel, he added.<\/p>\n

Vietnam still relies heavily on foreign consultants, technologies and contractors for complex railway systems, Duong noted, adding that reducing such dependence is critical if the country wants greater autonomy in future strategic infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

The ministry said the technology development program will be implemented as a national science and technology initiative involving government agencies, universities, research institutes and private enterprises. Businesses are expected to play a central role in technology…<\/p>\n
