The event was co-organised by the Ho Chi Minh City Investment and Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC), Quang Trung Software Park (QTSC) and the BambuUP Innovation Connection Platform.

Delegates at the conference emphasised that artificial intelligence is being applied globally to develop breakthrough products and services, optimise productivity, reduce operational costs, and advance green transformation goals.

Speaking at the event, Ho Thi Quyen, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Investment and Trade Promotion Centre, noted that Viet Nam currently holds significant potential to integrate AI and big data into its strategy for developing the digital economy.

However, she highlighted that unlocking this potential requires close collaboration between businesses, government bodies, and research institutions.

As such, the conference served as a platform for policymakers, technology developers, and enterprises pursuing digital and green transformation - yet encountering considerable challenges in accessing AI technologies - to come together and exchange knowledge.

On this occasion, ITPC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with relevant partners to support training programmes for enterprises.

This collaboration aims to strengthen capacities in business management, operations, and implementation, aligned with sustainable, digital, and environmentally conscious development.
