Memorandum of Understanding signing ceremony between Ho Chi Minh City Digital Transformation Center and British Consulate General

The 12 British companies that came to Vietnam to participate in this Technology Week also acknowledged that Singapore was previously considered the starting point for their investment cooperation in the Southeast Asian region. However, Vietnam is now gradually replacing this position with many advantages, especially the factor of young population.

At the event, the Ho Chi Minh City Digital Transformation Center and the British Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in science , technology and innovation. This demonstrates the British Government's commitment to accompanying Vietnam, especially Ho Chi Minh City, to promote digital transformation and apply the achievements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in many fields in the coming time.
