US software companies dominate the world market, in part because of the large investments of the defense industry in universities and infrastructure.

Doing business with neighboring countries
Vietnam should pursue a strategy like Singapore. When Common Market for East Asia (AEC) gets launched in 2015 Vietnamese companies may have great business opportunities in the region, or may lose positions even at home country, depending their competitiveness. Vietnam has Opportunities in the EU, as your Prime Minister has recognized.
Geopolitics is crucial – make friends to build your markets. Be relevant. Be constructive.
Quality and effectiveness of foreign investment are important Few poor countries can meet their own needs of finance. Attracting external investment is necessary. However type of investment is no less important. Woo the FDI / foreign investorVietnam should pay attention to the quality and effectiveness of FDI projects to improve its competitiveness. Do not just look at GDP, or depend on factors such as availability of cheap labor, land, natural resources and conditions... Israel: $76 b. in FDI, 4% of GDP in 2013
Maximize value-added, leaning toward innovation and high technology
Israel has become one of the leading countries in high technology products with more market dominance, especially in information technology, defense industry. Proximity to the market is a major advantage of producing goods. Vietnam needs to maximize business opportunities and value added in the domestic market. It is not acceptable for Vietnam to lose competitiveness especially in agriculture and tourism. However, it is even more important to bring high technology (such as biotechnology, information technology) to production and business activities, together with the local advantages.
