Ho Chi Minh City has set a goal of becoming one of the top three localities nationwide in digital transformation by 2030, under a comprehensive strategy aimed at building a modern, highly competitive city with strong international integration.
Under the strategy, the city will synchronously develop its digital infrastructure, ensuring 100% 5G coverage, completing the City Data Center and connecting it with the National Data Center. All administrative procedures will be fully digitized, with at least 85% of documents processed online and 80% of databases digitized and interconnected.
To complete its digital governance framework, Ho Chi Minh City will implement several key initiatives, including the planning of passive telecommunications infrastructure, the AI Strategy for 2025–2030, and the Digital Economy Development Program for 2026–2030.
Digital infrastructure development remains a top priority. The city will expand 5G networks, strengthen international transmission systems, and build super-large data centers. It will also study the establishment of a supercomputer center to support AI research and development.
Human resource development is also a core component of the strategy. The city will roll out training programs to improve digital skills for officials, civil servants, and workers in industrial parks and export processing zones.
In terms of digital data development, Ho Chi Minh City will accelerate the implementation of its data governance strategy, focusing on three major data groups: population, finance–business, and land–urban management. The city will also build an open data ecosystem and maintain strong connectivity with national databases.
The development of digital government is another central pillar, with a focus on enhancing the effectiveness of the administrative procedure resolution information system and expanding the application of AI in state management.
