Launched in 2013, Coc Coc is the first and only browser and search engine developed by Vietnamese people. According to the latest figures, Coc Coc currently has over 30 million users, ranking second in terms of browser and search engine market share in Vietnam. In terms of search engine alone, Coc Coc has attracted over 600 million monthly queries.
Sharing at the working session with Coc Coc, Deputy Minister Nguyen Huy Dung highly appreciated Coc Coc's success over the past 10 years, despite developing in a very difficult field.
The Ministry of Information and Communications wants Coc Coc to become the national browser and search engine. However, to do this, Coc Coc has a lot of work to do. Coc Coc must be a truly good product to serve the country and maintain this in the context of constantly changing technology, habits, and user needs.
According to Deputy Minister Nguyen Huy Dung, in addition to creating a good product, the platform needs to be accepted by users. Although there are tens of millions of Coc Coc users, this number is still small compared to the 100 million Vietnamese people.
If Coc Coc can do these things, it will have extraordinary success, becoming a “guiding star” for the company to develop long-term. At that time, Coc Coc’s success will be linked to the development of Vietnam and reach the world.
“Coc Coc has gone it alone and achieved the results it has now, but if it wants to develop further, it needs more efforts and support resources. The Ministry of Information and Communications is always ready to support Vietnamese digital platforms,” said Deputy Minister Nguyen Huy Dung.
Deputy Minister Nguyen Huy Dung also said that if the browser is the means for each citizen to enter the digital environment, the search engine is like a map for people to discover new values in the digital environment.
Having a national browser and search engine would bring two benefits: protecting the personal data of Vietnamese users and contributing to national security. At that time, it would be possible to exploit people's data, search habits, and travel behavior to create value.
On a national level, having a product with a large number of users will help management agencies understand trends and social concerns to better formulate policies.
Before the sharing of the leader of the Ministry of Information and Communications, CEO of Coc Coc, Mr. Nguyen Vu Anh affirmed that all of Coc Coc's resources are in Vietnam and the company's goal is to develop the best products for Vietnamese people.
Countries around the world are concerned about protecting user data. Therefore, having a Vietnamese browser and search engine, with data located in Vietnam, is a very important step. Coc Coc commits to investing and improving infrastructure quality and information security to serve Vietnamese users.
