High-ranking representatives confirmed to attend include Nguyen Phong Nha, deputy director of the Authority of Communications under the Ministry of Science and Technology; Rita Mokbel, president of Ericsson Vietnam; Prof. Gao Yujia of the National University Hospital in Singapore; and Yves Vanderstraeten, vice-chairman of EuroCham’s Digital Sector Committee. Also joining are Vo Xuan Hoai, deputy director of the National Innovation Centre (NIC), and Seck Yee Chung, vice president of the Singapore Chamber of Commerce Vietnam (SingCham).
Representatives from various industries will also join the event, including Le Xuan Son, deputy general director of VNPT IT; Vuong Quan Ngoc, director of Digital Transformation at FPT Digital under FPT Corporation; and Dong Manh Cuong, head of the Business School at the British University Vietnam, among others.
As Vietnam moves into a new phase of development, the convergence of AI and 5G is opening a new chapter for the country’s digital economy – one where knowledge, innovation, and technology are the key drivers of productivity. This combination forms the backbone of future innovation, enabling advances in smart manufacturing, banking and finance, autonomous mobility, and other emerging sectors.
According to experts, Vietnam’s digital-economy trajectory still faces several challenges that will require coordinated action from government agencies, businesses, and individuals.
To accelerate progress, a new set of strategic resolutions is expected to provide a more enabling environment for enterprises and the wider market to grow.
The conference will be broadcast live, with full written and multimedia coverage on VIR, its sister publications, and a range of television channels and media agencies.
