Against the backdrop of profound shifts in the global knowledge economy, optimizing the value of intangible assets has emerged as an imperative for the Vietnamese business community. Starting from 2026, the paradigm of intellectual property utilization has transcended mere legal protection, vigorously evolving into a strategy for cultivating core economic resources that contribute directly to the national growth value chain. Institutional enhancements and revised regulatory frameworks finalized during this period are creating vast avenues for enterprises to convert creative concepts, technical inventions, and brand identities into highly liquid capital sources.

This transition is powerfully driven by institutional improvements and the streamlining of administrative procedures related to the establishment of intellectual property rights. Rigorous enforcement mechanisms coupled with policies encouraging the commercialization of scientific research results have instilled robust confidence among domestic and foreign investors. Intellectual property is now recognized as a distinct asset class capable of independent valuation to participate in sophisticated economic transactions, including corporate equity contributions, licensing, and collateralization in financial credit activities. Making the valuation and protection of intangible assets transparent enables enterprises, particularly tech firms and innovative startups, to secure strategic capital flows more efficiently.

Nevertheless, the trajectory of converting intellectual assets into tangible economic resources still encounters various systemic challenges. The majority of domestic enterprises currently struggle to establish a comprehensive management model for intangible assets, spanning from identification and accurate valuation to the mitigation of potential legal disputes in the marketplace. Furthermore, cultivating a professional support ecosystem that closely bridges researchers, enterprises, and specialized legal and management advisory institutions represents a vital link in realizing the national objective of transforming intellectual property into a crucial driver of sustainable development.
