Vietnam expects to be among 40 countries with best GII ranking and increase digital economy to 30% GDP by 2030 and one of the leading hubs for startups and innovation in Asia by 2045.

To achieve the above goals, the Resolution rolls out a series of guidelines, including design and realization of a national strategy on development of tech companies, giving priority to the development of digital and high-tech businesses.

Active participation in the 4th Industrial Revolution is the inevitably objective requirement of special significance for Vietnam to achieve breakthroughs in socio-economic development process, the Resolution affirms.
