The event, co-organised by the Vietnam Software & IT Services Association (VINASA) and the Ministry of Information and Communications, will be held both in person in Hanoi and virtually via communication channels of VINASA.

VINASA Chairman Nguyen Van Khoa said on April 14 that the summit looks to gather resources from multiple sides to accelerate national digital transformation and create complete digital ecosystems that suit Vietnamese organisations and businesses.

Vu Phuong Thao, Director of VINASA’s department for enterprise development services, said the summit will feature 22 panel discussions on four topics, namely digital government, digital enterprises, digital economy - digital society, and international experience in digital transformation.
