Mr. Lam Nguyen Hai Long, Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City Computer Association, said though Hau Giang is facing many various difficulties, it has achieved many good results through outstanding growth in GRDP and socio-economic indicators. The highlight of the province's digital transformation and IT application is the effectiveness of the Community Digital Transformation Team and the typical digital transformation model in communes.
Hau Giang Province has a good way to allocate funds for digital transformation to communes. Above all, it formed Hau Giang Digital Technology Park in 2023 which has received good support from the Ministry of Information and Communications and the technology business community.
Through this year's week, the Ho Chi Minh City Informatics Association expected this activity not only to contribute to the promotion of Hau Giang Province but also to pave the way for the development of regional linkages and socio-economic development in the Mekong Delta region.
This is the second year of the 3-year program that the Association and Hau Giang Province organized.
Attending the opening ceremony were more than 1,000 delegates who are leading experts and speakers on digital transformation, start-up innovation from ministries; state management agencies; professional associations and associations; organizations, corporations, and enterprises in Hau Giang Province, Ho Chi Minh City and many provinces in the country.
