Internet Day 2023

Internet Vietnam: New Spaces, New Opportunities

Không gian mới, Cơ hội mới cho Internet Việt Nam

 

Introduction:

In contrast to the picture of a global economic recession leading to a wave of layoffs and cuts in ICT investment budgets, billions of dollars from the world’s technology giants (Nvidia, Meta, SpaceX, Foxconn, Samsung, LG, Intel,…) have been and are being prepared to be massively poured into Vietnam. Indeed, this is a precious opportunity for Vietnam digital technology businesses to open up new growth space.

In July 2023, the Vietnam Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) oriented 5 new spaces that will have a scale equivalent to telecommunications by 2025 and by 2030 will surpass telecommunications (They are: Cloud Computing, Digital Platforms, E-commerce, Make in Vietnam Technology, Cyber Security). These will be the main growth spaces for digital technology and telecommunications businesses in the next 10 years. (*[1])

In the above context, the Internet Day 2023 Conference – Exhibition will be held for the 11th time with the theme:

 “Không gian mới, Cơ hội mới cho Internet Việt Nam”

(Internet Vietnam: New Spaces, New Opportunities).

Target audiences:

  • State management authorities
  • IT consumers
  • Strategic partners
  • CIO, CTO, Decision maker on the business’s IT strategy & budget
  • Vietnam digital technology community

 

 

The expected program is as follows:

AFTERNOON THEMATIC SESSION

 

According to Harvard Business Reviews: The problem is not to cut the IT budget but to determine budget priorities to upgrade the IT platform to help increase speed, upgrade security, increase resilience and reuse resources to promote automation of processes, exploit data platforms, and continuously innovate IT architecture.

So what are “Tech priorities and needs” (Technology should be a priority and really necessary for businesses)? Let’s gather with leading technology businesses in the world and in Vietnam at the thematic seminar session of Internet Day 2023 to listen and discuss about this topic.
