Vietnam’s digital technology industry is considered a bright spot in the country’s economy, with revenue in 2022 estimated at $148 billion, for a year-on-year increase of 10 per cent.

The figure was revealed at a national forum on the development of digital technology enterprises (Make in Vietnam Forum 2022), one of the biggest annual events in the digital technology industry and held in Hanoi on December 8.

Vietnam now has 70,000 digital technology enterprises and exports by the digital technology industry are estimated at $136 billion.

Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam said technology carries the mission of paving the way to the future. He called on digital technology enterprises to join hands and stay united to identify digital solutions that serve the government and the people.

Enterprises shared information at the forum on global information technology trends and proposed solutions to develop sustainable local enterprises, master the domestic market, and enhance the country’s value in the global value chain.

On the sidelines, a hybrid exhibition offered participants the opportunity to experience typical Make-in-Vietnam digital technology products, which are expected to serve the development of digital government, the digital economy, and the digital society.
