Hai Phong considers attracting and making effective use of talent a key task to meet the requirements of rapid and sustainable development, contributing to the implementation of the national talent strategy through 2030 with a vision to 2050. The city aims to build a pool of experts, scientists and highly capable professionals in key sectors.

Previously, experts and scientists mainly contributed to the city's socio-economic development through science and technology programs under existing regulations, limiting the effective use of the expertise of domestic and international specialists.

In addition to incentives, the city also places strong emphasis on accountability. Beneficiaries are required to commit to working for at least 10 years, except professors and associate professors. Those who fail to meet their commitments or do not fulfil their responsibilities must reimburse the financial support they have received in accordance with regulations.
