Support for digital transformation was begun by the Ministry in the first quarter of 2021. Visiting its portal at https://smedx.vn, enterprises can learn more about digital transformation and suitable ways to approach it, and explore 23 “Make in Vietnam” platforms to find one that meets their needs.
By the end of 2021, the portal had received more than 220,000 visits, and 37,000 firms had gained access to helpful information about digital transformation. A survey of Vietnamese enterprises showed that 47% of SMEs consider digital transformation to be an urgent need, but they want more help from the Government.
“The support program is trying to make digital technology a service like electricity or water. When digital technology is considered an input for production, digital transformation will be successful,” said Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Huy Dung.
This year the program hopes to add 30 more “Make in Vietnam” digital platforms.
