The 3rd National Forum on the Development of Digital Economy and Digital Society themed "Comprehensive and Inclusive Development of the Digital Economy and Digital Society – Achieving Double-Digit GDP Growth Targets for the 2026–2030 Period" is set to take place on December 20.
The forum will be chaired by the Prime Minister, with the participation of Government leaders, representatives from various ministries, sectors, and local authorities, as well as tech enterprises, research institutes, universities, experts, and international organizations.
As an annual event hosted by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the forum serves as a platform for policy dialogue, experience sharing, and the promotion of innovative initiatives within the national digital transformation process to drive socio-economic growth.
The year 2025 holds particular significance as it marks the conclusion of the 2021–2025 Five-Year Socio-Economic Development Plan. It is also the point at which the first five years of national digital transformation efforts are evaluated to draw lessons and define strategic directions for the next development cycle.
Against this backdrop, the 3rd forum is expected to provide a space for regulators, experts, businesses, and local authorities to engage in in-depth discussions on solutions for comprehensive, inclusive, and sustainable digital development during the upcoming acceleration phase.
This year’s forum aims to provide a panoramic view of digital economy and society implementation from 2021–2025. From this overview, participants will identify bottlenecks, highlights, growth potential, new policy spaces, and breakthrough solutions for the subsequent period.
Discussions at the forum will focus on three key pillars: general assessment of Vietnam’s digital economy and society development during 2021–2025; sharing practical experiences and successful models of digital transformation from ministries, sectors, and localities; and in-depth discussions on the application of AI in developing the digital economy and digital society.
A major highlight of this year’s event will be the launch of the “Learning from Practical Work” program. This systematic initiative is based on the "Triple Helix" model of cooperation between the State, academia, and industry. It aims to bolster human resource development for the digital economy across the country’s key sectors and industries.
By identifying clear strengths and gaps, the forum seeks to ensure that trade and investment promotion activities remain highly targeted and responsive to market demands, ultimately enhancing national competitiveness.
