By early 2025, Vietnam had over 54,500 digital technology enterprises. Not only has the number increased, the capacity of enterprises has also been affirmed. According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, the rate of enterprises using digital platforms increased from 30% (2021) to nearly 70% (2024); Digital Government is developing strongly with more than 95% of level 4 public services; digital economy accounts for about 16.5% of GDP in 2024, aiming for 20% of GDP in 2025. The National Digital Transformation Program and Project 06 on developing applications of population data, identification and electronic authentication have created a revolution in the operations of state agencies.

The goal is that by the end of 2025, 100% of eligible administrative procedures will be provided as full-service online public services, developing digital infrastructure for industries... Meanwhile, the business digital transformation market is expected to explode in the coming time with breakthrough incentive policies to promote digital transformation and technology transformation from the government. Vietnam's digital economic growth rate, expected to reach over 20%/year, is mainly driven by the transformation of the business sector.
