Vietnam has made significant strides in technological advancement, positioning itself as a dynamic player in the digital age. The country’s commitment to digital transformation is evident in various initiatives and achievements across a range of sectors.

One of the most notable milestones was the launch of the VINASAT-1 and VINASAT-2 satellites in 2008 and 2012, respectively, which affirmed Vietnam’s sovereignty over its space and enhanced its telecommunications infrastructure. The completion of 4G service deployment in 2016 and the subsequent expansion of 5G deployment further consolidated Vietnam’s position in the telecommunications landscape, providing high-speed internet access to almost every corner of the country. In the field of digital government, Vietnam has made significant progress with the development of the National Public Service Portal, integrating many online public services, facilitating effective and transparent interactions between the government and the people. The e-Government Development Strategy towards 2030 aims to modernize the administrative system and promote the digital economy and society. In addition, the country’s efforts to build smart cities, such as Hanoi’s smart traffic management center and Ho Chi Minh City’s smart transportation system, highlight the integration of technology into urban planning and management. Vietnam’s healthcare sector has also embraced digital transformation, with the adoption of telemedicine and mobile health applications. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development and use of digital health tools, such as online medical consultation platforms, which have proven effective in managing public health crises. Furthermore, the Ministry of Health’s digital health transformation program aims to enhance healthcare services through the application of advanced technologies and the establishment of a national health data center.

These contemporary technological achievements underscore Vietnam’s proactive approach in leveraging digital innovation for socio-economic development. The country’s continued efforts in digital transformation will pave the way for a prosperous and technologically advanced future, making Vietnam a key player in the global digital landscape.
