Dr. Mac Quoc Anh, President of the Institute of Economics and Enterprise Development, said global economic restructuring is being driven by two major trends of green transition and digital transformation, which are now essential for sustainable growth and global integration. He noted that the Republic of Korea, a leader in core technologies, offers valuable models and technologies that Vietnamese firms can learn from to build innovative and sustainable urban economies.
He added that the Government's Resolutions No.68 and 57 have provided a legal foundation for private enterprises to modernize their operations and participate more deeply in global supply chains.
Enterprises should strengthen cooperation, apply advanced technologies, and innovate to contribute to greener and smarter cities, he said.
Truong Ly Hoang Phi, Vice Chairwoman of the Ho Chi Minh City Young Entrepreneurs Association, emphasized that knowledge, technology, and data have become the key competitive advantages replacing cheap labor and natural resources.
