In efforts to embrace the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), cities and provinces in Viet Nam are pushing smart city programmes, combining technology with internet-connected devices to enhance municipal management and economy.
Local Vietnamese tech companies “are fully capable of” providing the core components of a smart city, said Le Ngoc Tuan, head of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) division in one of the leading IT companies in the country, FPT.
Northern Phu Tho Province and military-run telecom group Viettel on Thursday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to build a smart city in the region in the 2017-20 period.
