Addressing the release ceremony, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Hoang Minh said the results match the socio-economic development status of localities.
He stressed that the PII is the only composite index currently providing an overview of socio-economic development model based on science, technology, and innovation in each locality.
It also gives insights into the strengths and weaknesses, potential factors, and necessary conditions for socio-economic development based on science, technology, and innovation in each locality, thus helping local leaders identify and select appropriate policies, directions, and solutions for socio-economic development, he added.
