Vietnam has adopted a national action plan on digital economy development, which outlines key tasks and solutions for the 2024-2025 period.

Ho Chi Minh City is aiming for a digital economy contributing about 25% and 40% to its gross regional domestic product (GRDP) by 2025 and 2030, respectively.

The central province of Thua Thien-Hue on December 14 launched the Digital Transformation Week – Hue 2023 with the theme of building digital data and promoting regional connectivity.

Winners of the Vietnam Digital Awards 2023 (VDA 2023) will be honoured at a ceremony slated for October 7 as part of activities in response to National Digital Transformation Day (October 10).

The northern province of Bac Giang will pay attention to developing digital data to serve local digital transformation in the near future, said Director of the provincial Department of Information and Communications Tran Minh Chieu.

Building digital data has been identified as a core element in Ho Chi Minh City’s digital transformation and smart-city development, and the city has begun a data building strategy, according to its Department of Information and Communications.

The Government has issued an e-government development strategy towards the digital government in the 2021-2025 period, with a vision to 2030.

Data is considered a core element of Vietnam's digital economy; however, it is not well shared and connected to serve the country.
