Centre for digital transformation takes shape in HCM City
VOV.VN - A centre for digital transformation (DXCentre) was recently established in Ho Chi Minh City with the aim of supporting agencies, organisations, and enterprises in going digital whilst studying, piloting, and transferring digital technology products.
DXCentre will take full advantage of digital and data technologies, expand co-operation, mobilise resources in order to provide digital services to serve the people and enterprises, and develop digital government as a way of creating motives for the development of the digital economy and data economy.
Along with operating a data centre and a data transmission network, the centre will provide guidance and technical support for relevant sides to roll out digital platforms whilst also developing digital services and smart urban areas.
It is responsible for ensuring information safety for the southern city’s data centre, digital platforms, information system, and shared database.
Furthermore, it will carry out training programmes and provide consultations on digital transformation to small and medium businesses.
Ho Chi Minh City is one of the five leading localities in the nation for digital transformation, with most administrative procedures available for use online.
There are now more than 7,000 ICT businesses working in the southern metropolis with a total e-commerce value of US$7.8 billion, accounting for nearly half of the country's total.
The city has set various targets to achieve in its digital transformation process by 2030. It is poised to become a healthcare centre of both the nation and the ASEAN region with a medical ecosystem of 6,000 modern clinics and hospitals that provide medical care, as well as implementing AI in disease diagnosis and treatment.
It is striving to develop a booming digital economy with an expected contribution of 25% and 40% to the city's GRDP in 2025 and 2030, respectively, as part of efforts to maintain the national leading position economically.
