Vu Le Quynh Giao from the Macro-economic Reform/Green Growth Programme said that the criteria will help assess the level of innovation of each firm, and serve as a foundation for the building of programmes to support and honour innovative businesses, thus creating motivations for development, identifying potential enterprises and making proposals on preferential policies for them.
