Hanoi (VNA) – The first images taken by Vietnamese satellite MicroDragon weresent to a land station in Japan on January 23 morning (Vietnam time), accordingto the Vietnam National Space Centre (VNSC) under the Vietnam Academy ofScience and Technology.

Thesatellite took images of Australia’s waters at an altitude of about 512 km at6:30am the same day. Earlier, it captured photos of the US at 0:11am of January 22.

Thephotos were monochromatic images, showing the satellite’s success in takingphotos, although alternations are still needed to improve image quality.

Allof the satellite’s cameras and the whole system will be gradually adjusted to determineits optimal parameters. The activities will be carried out by the VNSC andmembers of the centre who are working in Japan’s University of Tokyo for the nextthree months.

MicroDragon was launched into space at 9:50 am inJapan on January 18 (local time).

The satellite was developed by 36 Vietnameseengineers from the VNSC, who were sent to study space technology in topJapanese universities. The group began manufacturing the satellite in2013 and completed and tested it in 2017. 

MicroDragon is designed to monitor the qualityof water in coastal areas, locate fishery resources and observe changes in theocean to assist Vietnamese aquaculture. It will also help exchange data withother nations to enhance capacity to respond to climate change and naturaldisasters. -VNA

Vietnam’s cybersecurity landscape has witnessed a notable shift in recent years. While the number of cyberattacks recorded in 2025 showed signs of decline, the proportion of organisations suffering actual damage rose to 52.3%. Cyberattacks increasingly target critical sectors, including banking, finance, energy, telecommunications, and government agencies.

Vietnam is among the fastest-growing countries within the group ranked between 21st and 50th globally in StartupBlink’s 2026 report. Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Hai Phong are now listed among the world’s top 1,000 startup ecosystems.

The country also aims to support at least 500,000 small and medium-sized enterprises in digital transformation, develop a minimum of five digital technology companies capable of competing with counterparts in advanced economies, and establish at least five operational data exchanges.

Highly valuing Bulgaria's extensive experience in operating the Kozloduy nuclear power plant and training specialised personnel, Ambassador Nguyen Thi Minh Nguyet proposed boosting bilateral cooperation in specialist training, scientific research, and the sharing of management, operational, and nuclear safety expertise.

Dot Inc. is working with Google and an AI education partner in Vietnam to explore the deployment of assistive technologies in schools and educational institutions.

In addition to the exhibition activities, Agri & Biotech Vietnam 2026, lasting until June 12, is set to host a series of specialised forums and seminars.

According to the National Cybersecurity Association (NCA), cyberattacks are rising in both frequency and severity. Attackers are targeting critical infrastructure, personal data, and public services with increasingly advanced methods. This isn't just a technical glitch, but a systemic vulnerability requiring a workforce that can analyse and respond in real time.

Vietnam has identified that strategic technologies with strong spillover effects are key areas for investment and development. These technologies help enhance self-reliance, create national competitive advantages, ensure national defence and security, and promote sustainable socio-economic development

Vietnam possesses significant advantages and strong potential to emerge as a global centre for artificial intelligence (AI), according to billionaire Eric Schmidt, former Chairman and CEO of Google and former Chairman of the US National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI).
