The Việt Nam Digital Industry and Trade Summit 2024 will take place in Hà Nội on November 21, aiming to help businesses with their digital transformation.

With the theme 'Digital transformation drives green and sustainable growth', the event will feature a plenary session and two workshops focusing on the digital transformation and green transition in production and energy, as well as sustainable e-commerce development trends in the digital era.

In a document sent to its departments and local Departments of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) asked the Việt Nam E-commerce and Digital Economy Agency to coordinate with relevant groups regarding the event.

The ministry said the event will also review the digital transformation at various enterprises and seek solutions to promote coordination and mobilise resources to help them succeed.

The MoIT has issued a digital transformation plan for the energy sector, aiming for 90 per cent of administrative procedures to be handled online via the public services portal.

In addition, all documents related to the energy sector will be digitalised.

Focus will also be placed on developing a coordinated information system for the energy industry, including oil and gas, coal, electricity, renewable energy, and new energy.

Việt Nam has set a target to increase its electricity access index to rank among the top three in ASEAN by 2025, from its current fourth position in ASEAN and 27th out of 190 countries and territories worldwide. — VNS
