Hanoi also aims to remain 2nd nationwide or climb higher in the annual E-Commerce Index (EBI).

Some 35% of businesses are encouraged to participate in e-commerce activities on mobile applications.

Regarding human resource development for e-commerce, the city set a target of training 2,000  businesses and household business owners, public servants, and students to be trained in e-commerce skills this year.

Hanoi also focuses on developing e-commerce infrastructures including electronic payments in public services, logistics and delivery services as well as applying new technologies which help connect logistics activities between the city and other provinces and cities across the country.
