A number of concentrated, large-scale production areas applying high technology have been formed to create value chains such as Yen The hill chicken raising area, Tan Yen clean pig breeding area, fruit tree areas and a 50,000ha national key area under the direction of the Prime Minister.

Many issued mechanisms and policies to support the development and application of science and technology have proven effective, especially in digital transformation, industrial development, agriculture, intellectual property, innovative start-ups, etc. .

The State management of science and technology is becoming more and more effective.

The province always accompanies and encourages businesses and people in the province to promote the synchronous application of scientific and technical advances.

In order to realize the goals to turn Bac Giang into a modern industrial province by 2030, the science and technology sector needs to continue to give advice and organize the effective implementation of the following main tasks:
