Tam said one of the major topics of the forum is how Vietnamese tech companies could take advantage of technological advancement to solve the country’s current issues, which could serve as a stepping stone for those companies to go global and solve bigger problems.
Through this process, Vietnamese companies are expected to localize and master technologies, for later contribution to the development of new technologies, he added.

This is particularly important as the country is going through the process of digital transformation and establishing a digital economy and society where tech companies are expected to take a leading role.
Tam expected the forum to be the platform for the tech community to share inspiration, propose breakthrough measures and initiatives, as well as mobilize resources for further development of Vietnam’s technology companies.
The event is expected to attract the participation of 1,000 delegates, including leading domestic and foreign technology specialists as well as technology-focused start-ups in Vietnam.
By 2020, the government targets to have 100,000 technology companies and become top 30 nations with strong technological advancement.
