The Viet Nam Digital Transformation Day (DX Day 2021) event, themed ‘National Digital Transformation: Sharing and Connecting’, is scheduled to take place in the capital city of Ha Noi on May 26 - 27, the Viet Nam Software and IT Services Association (VINASA), the organiser, said.

Set to attract over 3,000 delegates from national government agencies and the business community across the country, the Viet Nam DX Day 2021 will focus on four main topics for discussions, namely updates on new trends of digital transformation, the introduction on effective digitalisation methods, sharing experiences on successful stories of digital transformation, and matching opportunities related to digital transformation.

Under its agenda, the forthcoming event is expected to comprise eight conferences on digital transformation progress in eight priority aspects under the national digital transformation initiative, namely finance - banking, healthcare, education, agriculture, transportation - logistics, energy, natural resources - environment, production - industry, as well as two special seminars on boosting digital transformation for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and another one aimed at promoting digital startups.

In particular, some sideline activities such as B2B (Business To Business) and B2G (Business to Government) matching events for the sake of better supply-demand connection, and a webninar on new digital platforms and solutions in Viet Nam, will also be held.

DX Day is a bold effort to promote the digital transformation in Viet Nam and for enterprises to promote their participation in the global technology value chains.

Viet Nam’s digital economy is projected at US$43 billion by 2025, of which the fastest growth included e-commerce, online travel, online media and ride hailing, according to a report by Google and Temasek.
