2023 marks the fourth year the award has been held. The award aims to honor outstanding digital technology products that embody Vietnamese intellectual pride, have a significant impact on bringing the activities of citizens and businesses to the digital environment, and contribute to promoting digital government, digital economy , and digital society in Vietnam and around the world.

Speaking at the press conference, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Huy Dung, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Award, said that first organized in 2020, the award has created a ripple effect, further promoting the development of Vietnam's ICT industry. Many award-winning products have made important contributions to the digital transformation of government agencies, businesses, and citizens.

“Due to their widespread application, some products have significantly changed lives in many remote and disadvantaged villages that we previously thought would take a very long time to address. People can promote and sell their products everywhere at reasonable costs; access high-quality medical services through telemedicine solutions; study remotely, work remotely, and access knowledge and information to serve their lives,” Deputy Minister Nguyen Huy Dung said.

This year's awards will honor outstanding digital technology products that embody Vietnamese intellectual pride and have a significant impact on bringing the activities of the government, citizens, and businesses to the digital environment.

In 2023, the Ministry of Information and Communications identified several major viewpoints and orientations, including: the year of national digital data; the year of creating practical results that are widely used and universally applicable; and the year of bringing Vietnamese digital technology businesses and products abroad to conquer the world. The 2023 Make in Vietnam Digital Technology Product Award will add a category to honor businesses with outstanding digital technology products, services, and solutions that have succeeded in foreign markets, while also encouraging and supporting Vietnamese digital technology businesses to continue their aspirations to expand globally.

According to the plan, the registration and application period for the Make in Vietnam Digital Technology Product Award will run from July 12th to October 12th.
