Nguyen Anh Dung1 State Agency for Technology Innovation (SATI) Abstract This paper introduce methodology of technology mapping in Vietnam, in which includes technology map for industries, products and technology fields. Technology mapping will provide some specific information of technological status, gap among technologies in the world. Authors also analyses the status and trend of technology development, regional and world market. It provides the important information for management agencies, research institutes, training organizations, associations and other enterprises in industry. The technology maps primarily distinguished in structure of technology maps as defining the objectives, scope, technology tree, market analysis or technology application. Keyword: Technology mapping; Methodology. Code: 16081802 1. Introduction Experience in some countries showed that before developing technology mapping, it is necessary to survey and assess technology current status and capacity in industry and R&D capacity in institutes/universities. Database of technology status and capacity as well as technology gap can be developed ahead or parallel with carrying out building technology roadmap, depending on the development level of this country. Normally, developed countries have multiple different databases are dispersed in industry and management organizations, they only conduct to synthetic current status serving to develop roadmap. Because of appearing in the most advanced science and technology country (USA) where technology roadmapping based on current technologies is significantly concerned, USA and other developed countries frequently use the phrase “technology roadmapping” rather than “technology map”.
