It will develop a digital society along and human resources to serve the transformation.

People’s ability to interact with the digital government will be improved, and measures will be taken to ensure cyber security.

Priority will be given to digital transformation in eight areas that have a direct effect on society: healthcare, education, natural resources and environment, industry, agriculture, transportation, and logistics.

The province will organise training programmes from now through 2025 to help businesses achieve digital transformation.
