- Vietnam has approved a National Digital Transformation Strategy for 2026–2030, aiming to become a developed digital nation with comprehensive digitalization across all sectors.
- The strategy focuses on three pillars: digital government, digital economy, and digital society, with specific 2030 targets such as full digitalization of administrative records, 99% public satisfaction with online services, and ranking in the top 50 of the UN e-government index.
- Digital economy goals include increasing the digital economy's contribution to at least 30% of GDP, supporting 500,000 SMEs in digital transformation, and expanding cashless payments to 30 times GDP.
- Digital society targets include fiber-optic broadband for all households, 95% of adults with bank accounts, 70% with digital signatures, universal electronic health records, and digital skills training for 10 million people.
- Data is designated as a strategic national resource, with a unified governance framework, priority databases (population, land, business, etc.), and integration with AI for policymaking and service delivery.
- The strategy promotes a 'Make in Vietnam' digital technology ecosystem, positioning domestic enterprises as core players, with the government acting as a major customer through public procurement and regulatory sandboxes.
