Opportunities and Challenges for Intellectuals in the Context of the Industrial Revolution 4.0

Abstract

In every era, intellectuals have played a crucial role in the survival and prosperity of each nation. This role becomes even more significant in today's rapidly changing world, characterized by the remarkable advancements in science, technology, and creative innovation. In this context, the first major step is to seize the opportunities and address the challenges posed by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, aiming towards the goal of becoming a high-income developed country by 2045. Following this, it is imperative to train, nurture, and effectively utilize human resources, especially the nation's elite intellectuals. Therefore, the development of the Vietnamese intelligentsia requires the formulation of appropriate strategies, planning, and solutions, as well as the mobilization of all necessary resources to build a workforce that is strong both in quantity and quality. It is essential to fully harness the potential and excellence of Vietnamese intellectuals, and to ensure that Vietnamese scholars can quickly access the latest knowledge and technology of our time, contributing to the modernization of the economy.
