In particular, amid increasingly fierce market competition, applying scientific and technological solutions to enhance productivity and product quality has become an essential requirement for every enterprise.

Digital technology accelerated in private logistics sector

Amid rapid growth in the logistics industry, technology adoption has become an inevitable trend and a crucial factor for improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing customer service.

Several solutions to optimize production management and customer service have been widely implemented at SITC – Dinh Vu Logistics Co., Ltd., including automatic photography and container condition recognition at wharf berths; automated navigation and journey and fuel monitoring for internal transport vehicles; smart gate systems that recognize container codes and truck and trailer license plates; and the integration of an electronic gate and mobile applications for automated inspection and delivery operations.

Once implemented, these solutions have helped customers plan and manage production more accurately, boosting productivity and operational efficiency for the port, its partners, and clients. The system interacts with drivers and transport companies over the network, with electronic transactions and e-documents usage exceeding 90%.

Hao Cheng, General Director of SITC – Dinh Vu Logistics Co., Ltd., said, “Recently, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) has been extremely rapid, far beyond human imagination. Our company is also leveraging AI capabilities combined with language simulation to develop a completely new container yard management system.”

 “In the future, the system will be self-learning, capable of automatically matching the nearest forklift with the closest truck driver to load and unload containers, significantly reducing unnecessary movements.”

Meanwhile, Ao Tien International Port is one of the modern and strategically important private ports in northern Quang Ninh province, located in the Van Don Special Economic Zone, which is poised to become a key maritime economic hub in northern Vietnam.

Located adjacent to Bai Tu Long Bay and close to popular tourist destinations such as Co To and Quan Lan, Ao Tien International Port has increasingly attracted investment for expansion and modernization.

Ta Duc Quyen, Chief Executive Officer of Ao Tien International Port, said the facility is a comprehensive port complex with multiple amenities, designed around a green-space theme and featuring five berths. Two main berths, each 20 meters wide and 150 meters long, can accommodate vessels of up to 300 seats, while three auxiliary berths serve yachts and smaller vessels.

According to Quyen, Ao Tien is one of the pioneering tourist ports to adopt digital transformation, boldly integrating AI technology into tourism operations and management.

He said, “Our port applies AI technology to manage passengers and vessels during departure and arrival. In addition, our ticketing gates are automated to enhance the passenger experience. By leveraging these scientific and technological advances, we have achieved remarkable improvements in managing passengers and vessels, reducing resources such as staff and operational time at the port.”

Resolution 68 paves the way for private enterprises to leap forward through technology

SITC-Dinh Vu Logistics Co., Ltd. and Ao Tien International Port are just two examples among many private enterprises boldly investing in science, technology, and digital transformation in their business operations.

With contributions exceeding 50% of GDP and employing around 82% of the total workforce driving economic growth, private enterprises clearly remain a core force in the national economy.

It can be said that Resolution 68 on developing the private economic sector has opened the door for a breakthrough for enterprises. In addition, a series of policies, such as a three-year corporate income tax exemption for small and medium-sized enterprises, support for startups, and incentives for digital transformation and credit, also stand out as key highlights of the resolution.

According to Truong Thanh Tuyen, Technical Director of Etek Automation Joint Stock Company in Ninh Binh province, “In previous years, we saw many startups, but they could not sustain themselves for long. Startups often collapsed within a few months or years due to policy-related factors, production capacity, and taxation issues. Currently, I see that the new policies in the resolution have tackled many of these challenges for startups.”

“For many years, we have witnessed a change in mindset, which has generated new momentum and vitality for the country and instilled confidence in small and medium-sized enterprises like ours to dare to invest, act, and grow,” said Nguyen Van Chuc, Chief Executive Officer of Ai Dat Trading, Investment and Manufacturing Co., Ltd.  in Ninh Binh province.

Experts note that never before has the application of science, technology, and digital transformation in enterprises, particularly private enterprises, been so vigorous, substantive, and oriented toward sustainable values. Businesses are engaging with a proactive, positive mindset, eager to learn and improve themselves, while taking advantage of every opportunity and mobilizing all available resources to accelerate comprehensive adoption of science, technology, and digital transformation.

Mac Quoc Anh, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of the Vietnam Association of Small and Medium Enterprises, analyzed, “We will build an environment where entrepreneurs can be autonomous and creative, innovating according to their business products and sectors, as long as the law allows. The Ministry of Science and Technology will provide extensive support policies for scientific and technological products and collaborate with universities and researchers to foster the development of new scientific and technological solutions. The resolution also clearly emphasizes the need to call on foreign partners to learn from and transfer the most advanced scientific and technological expertise in the world.”

Resolution 68 of the Politburo and the Government’s action programs on private economic sector development have introduced a range of specific mechanisms and policies, such as: a two-year corporate income tax exemption and a 50% reduction on payable tax for the following four years on income from innovative startup activities; and allowing enterprises to allocate up to 20% of taxable income to establish funds for the development of science, technology, innovation, digital transformation, and research and development.

These measures are expected to serve as a lever for enterprises to proactively adopt and innovate technologies, enhance productivity and product quality, and increase competitiveness in the market.
