In recent times, Vietnamese technology companies have increasingly demonstrated their growth in scale and contributed significantly to economic growth.
Currently, there are approximately 80,000 technology businesses nationwide, a 1.4-fold increase compared to 2020; total industry revenue in 2025 is estimated at $198 billion, an increase of nearly 26% compared to 2024. Many digital products and services have been exported, conquering demanding markets such as the US, Europe, and Japan, generating annual revenue of approximately $15 billion and affirming Vietnamese intelligence in the international market.
Businesses digital technology They are also a driving force in developing new growth drivers: 5G networks covering 90% of the population; e-commerce is booming, estimated to reach $36 billion in 2025, a threefold increase compared to 2020; digital payments are developing strongly, with the value of cashless payments reaching 26 times the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2025, with over 20 billion transactions. At the same time, technology companies are also promoting digital transformation in many sectors such as energy, transportation, environment, healthcare, education , etc.
However, an objective assessment reveals that the technological capabilities and expertise of Vietnamese technology companies are still limited and uneven. Vietnam lacks many large technology companies with sufficient potential and influence to lead supply chains. Notably, the domestic digital workforce does not yet meet the practical demands of development, especially in emerging technology fields such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and chip design.
The root causes of this situation stem from management thinking that hasn't kept pace with technological development; a fear of making mistakes and taking responsibility when proposing pilot models; inadequate support mechanisms and policies; cumbersome procedures; and a lack of mechanisms tailored to the specific characteristics of technology companies. Meanwhile, many businesses have limited financial resources, management capabilities, and vision, and their development thinking remains short-term. Notably, a lack of trust among businesses makes it difficult to form alliances and ecosystems strong enough to compete effectively.
According to experts, in order to achieve the goal double-digit growth With its main driving force based on science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation, Vietnam needs to build breakthrough mechanisms and policies to form large, powerful technology enterprises capable of mastering core technologies and market orientation. These enterprises will be the "locomotives" that form the ecosystem, leading small and medium-sized enterprises to truly dominate the domestic market and gradually expand into the global market, participating more deeply in the global supply chain. In addition, the State needs to play the role of a "major customer" by developing policies for ordering and public procurement of Vietnamese digital technology products and services; encouraging management agencies to shift strongly from public investment to outsourcing comprehensive digital technology services, helping technology enterprises stabilize their finances.
On the other hand, policies are needed to train, attract, and retain high-quality technology personnel. The mindset for training technology personnel must shift from "training what schools have" to "training what the market needs," while also promoting a "learn-by-doing" approach to create a workforce with consistently practical skills. Furthermore, success will not only depend on policies but also on the pioneering spirit and willingness to take risks of the technology business community, their desire to break through and rise to become a new technology hub in the region and the world.
