By 2030, Vietnam aims to be in the top three in ASEAN and the top 50 globally in terms of digital competitiveness and e-government development. It also targets five globally recognised tech firms by 2030, and ten by 2045.

The scheme aims to strengthen Vietnam’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) capacity, fostering a workforce capable of driving innovation and participating in advanced research in strategic high-tech industries.

Welcoming the proposed partnership between KT and Vietnam's tech giant Viettel, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung suggested KT consider joining Viettel in developing low-Earth orbit satellites and generative AI for socio-economic applications, where Vietnam is building capabilities.

Regarding France-Vietnam cooperation, Dr. Erman expressed his optimism over the impact of recent bilateral agreements, especially the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership signed in October last year, which, he said, has created a favourable framework for technological investment.

They have directly participated in the design and construction of numerous EPR nuclear power plants, including Olkiluoto 3 (Finland), Flamanville 3 (France), and Taishan 1&2 (China).

Recognising Vietnam's rapidly accelerating momentum and strong government prioritisation of artificial intelligence (AI) across key sectors, Avnet is set to catalyse this progress with its upcoming Avnet AI Tech Days – Shaping the Future of AI.
