With digitalization rising up the national agenda, Vietnam is accelerating its smart city projects to enhance both the country’s management and the economy. In fact, Ho Chi Minh City, the economic center of Vietnam, is aiming to become the country’s first smart city before 2025.
This presents unparalleled opportunities for collaboration as the country is open to international cooperation in enhancing innovation in the digital environment. The Vietnam Immersion Programme: Smart City (VIP: Smart City), organized by SGTech and supported by Launch JDI, is a platform to facilitate this!
