The Law on Digital Technology Industry, which will officially take effect from January 1, 2026, marks a significant turning point for Viet Nam as it strives to rise in the digital era. It establishes a solid legal framework to guide the development of Viet Nam’s digital technology industry, semiconductor, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital asset.

The amended Law on Product and Goods Quality and Law on Standards and Technical Regulations, which will take effect from January 1, 2026, are set to shift from administrative management of products and goods to risk-based governance, creating a legal foundation for a transparent and safe commercial environment.

The Ministry of Science and Technology held a conference on July 14 to review the innovation, digital transformation, and sci-tech activities in the first half of 2025.

The Viet Nam E-Commerce and Digital Technology Application Forum 2025 is expected to attract strong participation and enthusiastic response from organisations and enterprises, contributing to promoting Vietnamese brands and enhancing the country’s e-commerce profile internationally.
