Digital technologies are anticipated to power “the new Vietnam”, as the country prepares itself for the fourth industrial revolution.
Vietnam must upgrade the way its government functions to forge ahead or even leapfrog, according to the World Bank Country Director for Vietnam Ousmane Dione.
Branding becomes the top interest for enterprises, particularly to small and medium sized ones, as competition through using traditional methods such as utilising advertising boards/signs is no longer effective, according to leading experts.
The Prime Minister has issued Directive (16/CT-TTg) on strengthening capacity to tackle challenges posed by the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). Dam Bach Duong, head of the Hi-Technology Department, tells the Vietnam News Agency that technological, human resource, policy and infrastructure shortcomings stand in the way of Viet Nam building ‘smart’ factories.
