Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s largest economic hub, has been paying attention to developing the hi-tech industry so as to bring into full play opportunities brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Over the past time, the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic has prompted businesses, cooperatives and production facilities to look for new methods in promoting and consuming products besides traditional ways.

In 2022, the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City will develop artificial intelligence applications in many sectors, such as public administration, transport, healthcare, banking and industries.

To reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment, Myanmar has begun the production and selling of new-energy vehicles, including hybrid electric cars, according to Xinhua news agency.

Artificial intelligence (AI) products have been used in all sectors in Vietnam, such as public administration, transport, healthcare, banking and industries, in tandem with digital transformation.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on March 2 demanded accelerating implementation of the project on developing and applying the population data and electronic identification.

The Mekong Delta province of Long An is paying attention to human resources in digital transformation.

The 5G services are projected to contribute 7.34 percent to Vietnam’s GDP growth in 2025, according to a research by the National Institute of Information and Communications Strategy.

Digital transformation saw a remarkable progress last year, with awareness of this regard among State agencies, businesses and people significantly improving.
