For more than three decades, Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy has established itself as one of Vietnam’s leading sources of authoritative, in-depth, and influential economic journalism.
What I value most is that the organization not only reports on economic developments, market trends, and policy changes, but also fosters a high-quality platform for dialogue between policymakers, the business community, experts, and readers. Especially in today’s digital economy, its ability to harness and deliver reliable, data-driven, and insightful information has created exceptional value in a world saturated with information.
We greatly appreciate the organization’s continued engagement with and understanding of the technology community, its efforts to highlight digital transformation stories, and its analysis of technology’s impact across sectors of the economy. In doing so, it has made a direct contribution to Vietnam’s ongoing national digital transformation.
The greatest opportunity and challenge for economic journalism in this era lies in data and AI. As technology advances, the volume of available and newly-generated data continues to grow exponentially. This places significantly greater demands on publications and journalists to identify trustworthy sources, apply effective methods of aggregation and analysis, and, most importantly, combine multiple datasets to generate meaningful insights.
From this perspective, I believe investing in AI is essential for journalism to strengthen its capabilities and meet evolving demands. AI should be deployed comprehensively - from centralized data infrastructure to individual devices, from large-scale data applications at the publication level to intelligent reporting tools for journalists - built on a unified, open, and secure platform. In that context, AI should serve as a capability-enhancing tool, not a replacement for journalists, enabling news organizations to better fulfill journalism’s core responsibilities of editing, verification, analysis, and critical thinking, guided by human judgment and professional ethics.
I see three strategic priorities specifically for the organization. First, invest heavily in high-quality, multi-format data capabilities to enhance the user experience. Second, leverage AI to support data aggregation, in-depth analysis, and more efficient content production. Third, establish clear governance mechanisms for AI-assisted content to ensure transparency, credibility, and information security.
What I find most remarkable about the organization’s 35-year journey is the enduring value that a trusted economic news organization can create for the community. In an environment where business conditions and technology are changing rapidly, what companies and society need are information channels that are credible, analytically rigorous, and capable of connecting major global trends with Vietnam’s development realities.
In my view, that is precisely the newsroom’s meaningful contribution over the years: not only documenting economic developments, but also fostering dialogue, promoting innovation, and strengthening confidence within the business community on its growth journey.
Looking ahead, I hope Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy will continue to build on its strengths as a trusted and specialized economic organization, constantly innovating in both operations and technology adoption, remaining a true companion to businesses, and contributing actively to Vietnam’s digital transformation, innovation, and sustainable growth.
For the past 35 years, Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy has established itself as one of Vietnam’s most respected economic media organizations, accompanying the country through its economic transformation. Its value lies not only in providing information but also in its ability to analyze, offer constructive critique, and connect stakeholders across the economy.
For the business community, the organization acts as an important bridge between enterprises and policymakers, while also providing a trusted platform for sharing perspectives, initiatives, and sustainable development values.
I believe that, building upon its 35-year foundation, it will continue to be a trusted partner of the business community as Vietnam advances its integration and development journey.
In the digital era, the greatest competitive advantage for economic journalism is no longer the speed of reporting but the quality of analysis, the ability to verify information, and the value that information delivers to readers.
In my view, economic media organizations should continue strengthening their expertise in in-depth reporting while embracing technology, data, and AI to enhance analytical capabilities, forecasting, and personalized user experiences. At the same time, they should continue serving as platforms that connect businesses, experts, and policymakers, helping foster dialogue, improve policy frameworks, and strengthen the business environment.
In a world saturated with information, what creates value and earns readers’ trust is not publishing more news but helping readers understand issues more clearly. This represents both a strength and an opportunity for Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy to further reinforce its position as a leading and influential economic publication.
Over the past 35 years, as Vietnam and its economy have undergone significant transformations, Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy has done more than report on market developments; it has consistently examined economic and social issues through a lens of depth, objectivity, and responsibility. Through insightful analysis, high-quality forums, and trusted information, the publication has helped provide accurate and multidimensional perspectives for businesses, investors, and readers alike.
Like many business leaders and executives, I have always regarded Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy as one of Vietnam’s most trusted publications covering economics, finance, investment, and corporate governance. Over the years, it has not only delivered accurate, timely, and insightful reporting on the economy but has also served as an important platform connecting government, experts, businesses, and the market.
What I particularly value is the organization’s ability to accompany businesses not only by highlighting achievements and success stories but also by closely following the major forces reshaping the economy, especially information technology, telecommunications, digital transformation, and, more recently, AI transformation. These are also the areas that CMC has consistently pursued as a pioneering Vietnamese technology company.
As Vietnam enters a new phase of development, marked by ambitions in innovation, technological self-reliance, digital transformation, green growth, and global integration, economic journalism has an increasingly important mission. Journalism does more than reflect reality; it helps build confidence, promote a positive business culture, and inspire the aspirations needed to drive growth and development.
I believe that, with its 35-year legacy and strong spirit of innovation, Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy will continue to be a responsible, insightful, and trusted voice of Vietnam’s economy while supporting the country’s technology and digital enterprises as they expand into regional and global markets.
In recent years, we have witnessed the rapid rise of AI, particularly generative AI, across nearly every aspect of society, from business and manufacturing to healthcare, education, culture, media, and journalism. This is no longer a future trend; it is a reality transforming organizations at remarkable speed.
For CMC, a technology and telecommunications company with 33 years of development, AI represents not a challenge to fear but an opportunity to accelerate. Businesses, organizations, and media institutions all need to embrace AI transformation to meet Vietnam’s development ambitions, especially as the country pursues high-growth objectives and seeks to strengthen its global competitiveness.
Journalism is no exception. For economic media, AI transformation is not simply about applying technology to publishing workflows. It is a comprehensive shift in operating models, content production, data analysis, audience engagement, and the creation of new value for readers and the business community.
I highly appreciate Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy’s early leadership in developing the Marcom AI Platform ecosystem, including its editorial CMS platform and Askonomy Platform, which supports research, summarization, and translation through AI. This reflects both innovation and adaptability. CMC is currently working with the organization to support the commercialization of these solutions.
However, AI should not be viewed merely as a content-production tool. It should become an integral part of a newsroom’s long-term strategy. Economic journalism needs to evolve from a “digital newsroom” into an “AI-native newsroom” - one designed and operated around data, AI, and intelligent automation.
AI can help journalists aggregate information, identify trends, analyze policies, monitor market developments, personalize content, and expand multilingual and multi-platform capabilities. Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy can become more than a publication reporting on economic developments; it can evolve into a digital knowledge platform that provides information, analysis, forecasts, and policy insights for businesses, investors, policymakers, and society.
At the same time, technology should be seen as an enabler rather than a replacement. The core values of journalism remain unchanged: truth, social responsibility, professional integrity, and readers’ trust. AI transformation must therefore extend beyond technology to encompass people, processes, governance, and organizational culture.
With its 35-year reputation and its commitment to innovation, I believe Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy is well positioned to become one of Vietnam’s leading economic media organizations in AI transformation. It can play a significant role not only in documenting the country’s digital economy but also in accelerating AI adoption across Vietnam’s media sector. CMC stands ready to support the organization and the broader journalism community on that journey.
If I were to choose descriptions for Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy after 35 years, they would be hardworking, disciplined, innovative, and constantly creating value for the community. To me, this reflects both its achievements over the past three and a half decades and its future potential as a trusted “hive of knowledge” where information, expertise, and inspiration come together to support Vietnam’s business community.
Over more than two decades of operating in Vietnam, we have witnessed the country’s remarkable transformation in both economic development and technological advancement. As technology plays an increasingly critical role in economic competitiveness, credible media organizations specializing in business and technology have a particularly important role in helping businesses, policymakers, and the public better understand both the opportunities and implications brought about by emerging technologies.
Innovation can only realize its full potential when stakeholders understand not only what technology can do but also how it can be applied responsibly to create meaningful value for the economy and society.
Looking ahead, Vietnam has the opportunity not only to adopt and apply technology but also to become a contributor to the global innovation ecosystem through R&D and a highly-skilled workforce. Achieving this goal will require stronger public-private collaboration and a greater role for trusted institutions in fostering dialogue, raising awareness, and supporting informed decision-making. We believe that media organizations such as Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy will continue to play an important role in facilitating these conversations as Vietnam moves closer to becoming an innovation-driven economy.
For its part, Qualcomm remains committed to supporting this journey through long-term investments in innovation, talent development, and collaboration with partners across Vietnam’s technology ecosystem.
I do not believe that the rise of AI diminishes the role of mainstream journalism. As information becomes increasingly abundant and easier to generate, qualities such as credibility, context, and authenticity become even more valuable. For media organizations, the opportunity lies not only in adopting AI but also in leveraging it to enhance both operational efficiency and content quality.
AI can significantly support activities such as research, content discovery, translation, and audience engagement. However, technology is a tool, not a substitute for editorial judgment. While AI can generate content at scale, it cannot replace domain expertise, critical thinking, or the ability to analyze complex issues. The organizations that succeed will be those that effectively combine the speed and efficiency of AI with the standards and professionalism of journalism.
Beyond applying AI in their own operations, media organizations also have an important role to play in helping society adapt to technological change. As AI becomes increasingly embedded across industries, society needs clear, balanced, and practical perspectives on how these technologies can improve productivity, strengthen competitiveness, and drive long-term economic growth.
Media organizations capable of translating complex technological developments into accessible, meaningful analysis for businesses and society will continue to stand out. At the same time, the media can serve as a bridge that promotes dialogue and collaboration between policymakers, businesses, academia, startups, and investors.
At Qualcomm, we view AI as one of the most transformative technologies of our time, with the potential to boost productivity, enable new business models, and drive economic growth across sectors. This belief underpins Qualcomm’s long-term commitment to Vietnam, including the establishment of the Qualcomm R&D Center in Hanoi and the implementation of initiatives aimed at strengthening domestic AI capabilities and innovation, such as Qualcomm Academy and the Qualcomm Vietnam Innovation Challenge.
We believe these long-term investments will help support Vietnam’s ambition to become a leading innovation-driven economy in the AI era.
I would like to congratulate Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy on its 35th anniversary. What impresses me most about the organization is its ability to continuously reinvent itself, from a traditional newspaper into a trusted multi-platform media ecosystem. In many ways, this mirrors SCG’s own transformation in Vietnam over the past three decades, from an importer to a manufacturer and strategic industrial partner.
Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy’s contribution extends well beyond journalism. It has effectively connected policy with business realities and fostered meaningful dialogue between government, businesses, and society. Through flagship initiatives, the publication has created valuable platforms where ideas can be transformed into action. In an age of information overload, its ability to shape serious, constructive conversations about Vietnam’s development is what has earned the trust of readers for 35 years.
Today, economic developments can no longer be viewed in isolation. They are increasingly shaped by geopolitics, technology, and sustainability. Amid an abundance of information, what readers need most from credible media organizations is context, insight, and trust.
Journalism must stay one step ahead, helping businesses understand the forces driving change. Topics such as AI, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, the circular economy, and net-zero commitments are no longer emerging trends; they have become long-term drivers of competitiveness. By sharing practical lessons and real-world success stories, the media can help accelerate the green transition across both the public and private sectors.
No matter how rapidly technology evolves, credibility remains timeless. The most valuable media organization is not the one that delivers news the fastest, but the one that earns a unique and enduring level of trust from its audience.
If I were to choose a metaphor to describe the organization after 35 years of innovation and development, it would be a “fiber-optic cable of trust.” A bridge connects people physically; a fiber-optic cable connects them instantly, across unlimited distances and on a global scale.
For 35 years, Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy has served as that connection, linking policy with practice, businesses with opportunities, and sustainability ambitions with concrete action. As Vietnam enters a new stage of development, trusted organizations such as Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy will become even more important. SCG is proud to have accompanied this journey and wishes it continued success as one of Vietnam’s leading economic media organizations.
Looking back, what moves me most is not that Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy has endured for 35 years. What moves me is that it has accompanied almost the entire journey of Vietnam’s market economy, from its emergence to its maturation.
From an A4-sized economic bulletin first published in 1991 to the influential economic media ecosystem it is today, the publication has done more than witness Vietnam’s economic history. In some ways, it has helped shape that history.
I have always believed that journalism’s greatest role is not to record events, but to help society understand their meaning. For decades, Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy has fulfilled that role in relation to the country’s economic life.
From the early years of opening up to foreign investment, through the rise of the private sector, waves of equitization, WTO accession, the development of the stock market, and global economic crises, the publication has helped explain complex developments to businesses and the broader public.
Thirty-five years ago, businesses needed information. Today, they are no longer short of information; they are surrounded by it. What has become scarce is not data, but the ability to interpret it correctly. Not news, but knowledge. Not speed, but trust.
AI can give us access to unlimited amounts of information. But AI cannot create social trust on its own. Trust must still be built by credible institutions.
That is why I believe the greatest mission of economic journalism in the years ahead is not to become the fastest source of news, but to become part of the economy’s trust infrastructure. A modern economy requires more than roads, ports, and data centers. It also needs institutions capable of verifying information, promoting transparency, connecting market participants, and facilitating meaningful policy dialogue.
Thirty-five years ago, Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy was founded as Vietnam began opening up to the world. Today, the country is entering a new stage of development, one defined by greater ambitions, greater opportunities, and greater challenges.
While the first chapter was about accompanying the formation of Vietnam’s market economy, the next may well be about accompanying the maturation of Vietnamese businesses in a knowledge-based and trust-based economy. It is a more difficult journey, but is one worth beginning.
In developed markets, many leading economic media organizations have evolved far beyond the role of news providers. They have become platforms that integrate data, analysis, research, and expert insights to help businesses make better decisions. Today, the most influential economic publications do not simply tell readers what is happening; they help them understand why it matters and what actions they should consider. I see Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy playing a similar role in Vietnam.
For businesses, internal data alone is rarely enough. Leaders also need to understand broader developments in the economy, public policy, technology, consumer behavior, capital flows, and market competition. High-quality economic journalism helps provide that wider perspective, enabling businesses to validate assumptions, identify opportunities, and make more informed decisions.
At Coc Coc, we have experienced this value firsthand. As a Vietnamese technology company developing digital products and platforms for local users, we appreciate not only Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy’s journalistic credibility but also its ability to place business stories within the larger context of digital transformation, innovation, and economic development. When technology is viewed through the lens of policy, market trends, and national development priorities, the discussion becomes far more meaningful.
Looking ahead, I believe economic journalism must continue evolving beyond its traditional role as a news outlet. The challenge today is no longer a lack of information; it is information overload. Business leaders need trusted sources that can filter information, provide context, and explain what developments mean for their organizations.
That is why I believe economic journalism should increasingly serve as an information and analytical infrastructure for businesses. Leading international media organizations have already moved in this direction, building specialized databases, market intelligence products, expert communities, and policy forums alongside their core journalism.
This is also a natural direction for Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy. The publication already possesses deep economic expertise, a strong network of experts, close relationships with the business community, and extensive experience organizing respected economic forums. Combined with data, AI, and digital innovation, these strengths could help transform Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy into a comprehensive economic knowledge platform.
I particularly appreciate the publication’s early investment in initiatives such as Askonomy and other AI-powered products. These efforts demonstrate that Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy is not merely reporting on digital transformation, it is actively embracing it.
Ultimately, economic journalism must preserve its most valuable asset: public trust. Technology can help journalism move faster and create new forms of value, but trust remains the foundation. Technology may help journalism go faster, but trust is what enables it to go further.
For the past 35 years, Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy has established itself as one of Vietnam’s most respected and influential economic media organizations. For the business community, it has been more than a source of information; it has been a trusted companion throughout the country’s journey of reform, integration, and economic development.
I particularly value the newsroom’s role in connecting businesses with experts, policymakers, and investors. Its economic forums, policy dialogues, and conferences have become important platforms where ideas are shared, debated, and refined.
In tourism, Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy was among the first media organizations to recognize the industry as a major economic driver rather than simply a service sector. Its in-depth reporting, policy analysis, tourism forums, and the legacy of The Guide Awards have helped improve service quality, promote professionalism, and strengthen Vietnam’s tourism brand internationally.
From my perspective, Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy’s greatest contribution has been not only reporting on economic developments but also helping shape development thinking among businesses and society. That is a remarkable achievement over the past 35 years.
In the digital era, speed is no longer journalism’s only competitive advantage. What readers and businesses increasingly value is credibility, analytical depth, and the ability to anticipate future trends.
Economic journalism must evolve from simply delivering news to creating knowledge. Today’s business leaders want more than information about what is happening; they want to understand why it is happening and what it means for their strategies. I hope the organization continues to build on its strengths in policy analysis, economic data, trend research, digital transformation, AI, green growth, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, and innovation.
It should also continue acting as an effective bridge between businesses, experts, investors, and regulators, ensuring that practical business perspectives are better reflected in policymaking. In tourism in particular, I would like to see the organization develop a deeper content ecosystem around the economics of tourism; one of Vietnam’s most influential industries. As the country aims to become a leading destination in Asia, it needs high-quality policy forums, market research, conferences, and industry discussions that can help strengthen national competitiveness.
I believe that by combining technological innovation with the core values of professional journalism, the organization will continue to play a leading role within Vietnam’s economic media landscape.
If I were to choose a symbol for Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy after 35 years of innovation and development, it would be a lighthouse guiding Vietnam’s economic journey. A lighthouse does not steer the ship, but it helps sailors navigate through changing conditions and uncertain waters.
I believe the organization will continue to serve as a lighthouse of knowledge for Vietnam’s business community, accompanying the nation as it builds a greener, more digital, more innovative, and more globally-integrated economy.
Having had the opportunity to work with many media organizations since the early 2000s, I have always held a special regard for Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy. In my view, it is a publication that truly lives up to its name, consistently maintaining professionalism, integrity, and high standards worthy of one of Vietnam’s leading economic media brands.
That professionalism is reflected not only in the stature of the publication itself but also in the working style of its journalists. I have worked with its reporters on numerous occasions and have always been impressed by the way they approach their subjects. They possess deep knowledge, ask insightful questions that go straight to the heart of the issues that matter most to business leaders, and demonstrate a genuine understanding of the challenges faced by enterprises.
The rise of social media has brought unparalleled speed in the dissemination of information, but it has also exposed weaknesses in depth, accuracy, and credibility. In that context, I believe this presents a golden opportunity for mainstream media organizations such as Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy to reinforce their position. No matter how quickly information travels, modern society will always require trusted, verified sources that provide direction and in-depth analysis. Professional journalism remains the foundation, the authoritative source of information from which social media draws and amplifies content.
As Vietnam enters a new era of national development and aspiration, economic issues will undoubtedly remain at the forefront of attention for the government, businesses, and society as a whole. I therefore hope that Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy will continue to stay committed to its strength in in-depth reporting and analysis, focusing on the major economic challenges facing the country. Thought-provoking and well-researched reporting from the newsroom can help society develop a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of economic realities, making a meaningful contribution to the nation’s development.
If I were to describe Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy after 35 years in a single phrase, it would be: “Authentic integrity and professionalism.” Throughout its development, amid an increasingly turbulent media landscape, it has remained one of the rare publications that has preserved the core values and identity of journalism. Rather than seeking attention through sensationalism or controversy, it has built its reputation through the quality of its content and the value of the knowledge it delivers.
Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy is truly a symbol of ethical, principled, and professional economic journalism in Vietnam.
Looking back on Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy’s 35-year journey of innovation and growth, we see a publication that has evolved alongside Vietnam’s economy. For the business community, particularly the technology sector, it is far more than a media organization. It has established itself as both a trusted chronicler of economic development and a strategic communications platform.
The relationship between Rikkeisoft and Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy is a testament to that role. We have been honored to contribute to editorials, in-depth discussions, and industry dialogues alongside leading technology groups such as FPT, Viettel, and VNPT. The fact that Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy has consistently provided a platform for newer-generation enterprises like Rikkeisoft reflects the newsroom’s openness, objectivity, and commitment to promoting Vietnam’s digital capabilities.
More importantly, the publication has not merely reported on corporate milestones; it has accompanied and documented them. In many ways, the organization has served as a source of knowledge and inspiration, helping Vietnamese enterprises gain the confidence to integrate internationally and compete on the global stage.
As a technology company, our current strategy focuses on applying AI to enhance productivity and increase value creation while pursuing our ambition of becoming a global enterprise and strengthening the presence of Vietnamese brands in international markets. From that perspective, I believe Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy can further amplify its impact in two important ways.
First, it can become a strategic compass for Vietnamese businesses navigating international markets. As companies expand into destinations such as the US, Japan, and the wider Asia-Pacific region, they increasingly need deeper insights into capital flows, international economic policies, regulatory developments, and emerging opportunities in areas such as AI and semiconductors. Stronger forward-looking analysis would help businesses not only seize opportunities but also manage risks more effectively.
Second, it can play an even greater role in advancing what I would call the “human capital economy.” In the digital era, high-quality talent is one of a nation’s most valuable assets. The publication is uniquely positioned to connect government, businesses, and educational institutions while promoting technology talent development and sharing best practices in productivity and workforce management. A practical knowledge ecosystem of this kind would provide a powerful foundation for the global ambitions of Vietnamese enterprises.
If I had to describe Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam / Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy at 35 years in a single image, I would call it “the fiber-optic cable of knowledge connecting Vietnam’s economy to the world.”
In the digital age, fiber-optic infrastructure forms the backbone of connectivity, transmitting information at high speed with reliability and precision. For 35 years, the publication has fulfilled a similar role, delivering economic information quickly and accurately while providing the depth of analysis and strategic perspective needed to guide decision-making.
More importantly, it has connected generations of Vietnamese businesses, linked enterprises with policymakers, and bridged domestic capabilities with global technology trends and international capital flows. That seamless flow of knowledge has provided companies like Rikkeisoft with valuable support as we pursue growth and global expansion.
