The contemporary world is in the midst of a strong digital age. With the emergence of a wide range of digital technologies and smart digital devices, digital transformation is accelerating globally and in each country, creating an increasingly close connection between the real world and the digital space.

To develop rapidly and avoid falling behind, countries must implement digital transformation; this is an objective necessity. Recognizing the importance of digital transformation, many countries have developed and implemented national strategies and programs on digital transformation, focusing on key contents such as: digital government, digital economy, digital society.

In Vietnam, in recent years, the Party and State have paid special attention to, directed, and issued many policies and orientations to promote digital transformation.

On September 27, 2019, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 52-NQ/TW on a number of guidelines and policies to proactively participate in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, with the core content being to promote the development of science, technology and innovation in all sectors and fields and promote national digital transformation.

On June 3, 2020, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 749/QD-TTg approving the National Digital Transformation Program to 2025, with a vision to 2030; which identifies three important pillars: digital government, digital economy and digital society.

Then, on March 31, 2022, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 411-QD/TTg approving the National Strategy for Digital Economy and Digital Society Development to 2025, with a vision to 2030.

In an article commemorating the 79th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2024), General Secretary To Lam emphasized: “There must be a revolution with strong and comprehensive reforms to adjust production relations, creating new momentum for development. That is the digital transformation revolution, applying science and technology to restructure production relations in accordance with the remarkable progress of the productive forces... creating a breakthrough in the development of productive forces and perfecting production relations, bringing our country and our people to a new era, the era of progress, civilization and modernity”.
