Summary of thesis results: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have weak financial capabilities, unprofessional and unqualified business management teams, human resources that do not meet the demands of international integration, and especially outdated science, technology, and engineering. To enhance the competitiveness of this business sector, technological innovation is a vital factor. However, SMEs face the challenge of limited investment capital and finances. Therefore, technological innovation requires support from state development support policies, such as providing businesses with access to financial resources through investment from key science and technology programs, projects and research topics at the ministerial, sectoral, and local levels, bank credit channels, financial leasing, investment funds, etc. Creating opportunities to access financial resources for technological innovation will be a prerequisite for significant advancements in the technological capabilities and expertise of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), enhancing their competitiveness. To help Vietnamese SMEs continue to survive and develop sustainably, the financial solutions presented in this thesis, along with their ability to improve their business capabilities, will enable them to continue their development and contribute to the overall economic growth. 12.
