Human resource training – the key to digital business

(NLDO)-Business on digital platforms is booming, creating both opportunities and challenges. However, the biggest gap today is the quality of human resources.

In the context of strong digital transformation, business on digital technology platforms is becoming an inevitable trend, reshaping the way businesses approach the market, organize production and serve customers.

Experts discuss at the workshop "Business on digital technology platforms"

The global digital economy is growing rapidly, contributing increasingly to the GDP of countries. Vietnam is no exception to this trajectory, with the Government aiming for the digital economy to account for about 20% of GDP by 2025. In particular, business activities based on digital technology platforms – from e-commerce, digital financial services, online education to smart healthcare – are considered the main growth drivers.

At the workshop "Business on digital platforms" organized by the University of Finance - Marketing in collaboration with the University of Finance - Business Administration, Banking University of Ho Chi Minh City and the School of Economics - Can Tho University on September 19, Dr. Pham Quoc Viet, Vice Principal of the University of Finance - Marketing, said that the digital economy currently contributes about 15% of global GDP and is expected to continue to increase strongly in the coming years.

In Vietnam, digital transformation is one of the three strategic pillars of the country. In 2024, the added value of the digital economy is estimated to reach about 1.5 million billion VND, accounting for 13.17% of the country's GDP, growing about 19% - the highest in Southeast Asia and three times the GDP growth rate. The Government sets a target that by 2025, the digital economy will account for 20% of GDP and by 2030, it will reach 30% of GDP, affirming its determination to make Vietnam a country with the leading digital economy in the region.

The Vietnamese market is witnessing an explosion of e-commerce with a forecasted scale of 45 billion USD by 2025. At the same time, fintech (financial technology) and edtech (educational technology) have emerged strongly as the demand for digital payments and online learning is increasing.

According to experts, if technology previously only supported part of business activities, it has now become the center. In particular, the participation of artificial intelligence (AI), big data and automation is helping businesses optimize operations, personalize customer experiences and create new values. Doing business on digital platforms helps businesses access large markets, save costs, expand revenue channels and improve management efficiency. However, the challenges are not small.

"Researching institutional, regulatory, and legal issues suitable for the digital economy, researching how organizations and individuals should invest in technology, how to exploit technology to serve business to compete well and bring high efficiency along with good risk control is a very necessary and urgent topic in the current period" - Dr. Viet further emphasized.
