Viettel leading in national digital transformation
Speaking at the 30th founding anniversary of Viettel, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said that the country has had an opportunity better than ever before. The Party and State have entrusted Viettel to take the lead in industry 4.0. The Prime Minister officially assigned Viettel to become a powerful telecommunication and industry company in the region and world, which generates valuable hi-tech products and services.
The Prime Minister requested that Viettel should enter the list of the world’s largest telecoms by 2025 with an annual average growth rate of 10% and above of which hi-tech products and services make up 50%. When it celebrates the 100th founding anniversary, Viettel should become one of the world’s hi-tech products and services providers and have some key products with advanced technologies that can regulate international standards.
The Prime Minister also asked Viettel to take the lead in national digital transformation, hold responsible for building a digital government, digital economy and digital society. In the immediate future, the company should soon complete its 5G network and provide 5G services to facilitate national development in industry 4.0.
According to the Prime Minister, Vietnam should take advantage of the fourth industrial revolution to develop a digital economy, a digital society so as to escape the middle income nation trap and become a developed country by 2045. Whether these goals are reached depends much on technological companies, of which Viettel is the most expected.
