Digital transformation is entering a new phase, and FPT Corporation, alongside Ba Ria-Vung Tau, is positioned to leverage this pivotal opportunity.

Digital transformation enters a new "revolution"

FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh elaborated on this shift, describing digital transformation as entering a new "revolution," where technology has evolved from a science to a powerful, productive force. He emphasized that machines are no longer just tools that replace physical labor; they now have the potential to replicate human intelligence. "Digital transformation is now more about people. People are the key factor because this transformation will fundamentally change the way we work," Mr. Binh shared during his discussion with the leadership of Ba Ria-Vung Tau province.

FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh also highlighted the significant opportunities for development in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, especially in light of current geopolitical shifts. He noted, "With these changes, our goal is for every citizen to be able to 'communicate' with the government directly through their phones. Together, we will develop the first apps that serve the people of Ba Ria-Vung Tau."

According to Dang Minh Thong, Vice Chairman of the Ba Ria-Vung Tau Provincial People's Committee, the province has recognized digital transformation as a key priority and has made notable progress. However, challenges remain, and the province is committed to driving comprehensive development in this area. The focus will be on four critical pillars outlined by the Prime Minister: the information technology industry, digitalization of economic sectors, digital management, and digital data.

"To achieve these goals, following the signing of our cooperation agreement with FPT Corporation, the province will direct relevant departments and agencies to work closely with businesses to implement specific strategies across ten key sectors to accelerate digital transformation. Additionally, we aim to strengthen collaboration with FPT in education and training," Vice Chairman Thong shared.

On the same afternoon, the Provincial People's Committee hosted a conference on the impact of digital transformation on socio-economic development. During the event, FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh led a session with provincial officials and key leaders, focusing on "Digital Economy - Challenges and Opportunities."

FPT will provide strategic guidance on digital transformation, offering comprehensive solutions to address existing challenges and propose actionable plans to meet the province's digital transformation goals.

Additionally, FPT will assist in raising awareness and driving engagement among residents and businesses to support the province's digital transformation efforts. This will include organizing conferences and seminars on digital transformation and facilitating connections between companies, associations, and local authorities. FPT will also provide consultation and support for the deployment of Make in Vietnam digital transformation platforms to help local enterprises advance their digital transformation initiatives.
