On May 15, the Hoa Binh Steering Committee for Science, Technology, Innovation, and Digital Transformation launched the "Digital Literacy for All” movement. The event was held both in-person and virtually, connecting provincial authorities with district-level Party committees and local communities across communes, wards, and townships.


 Central and provincial-level officials press the buttons to launch the "Digital Literacy for All” movement.

The event drew Bui The Duy, alternate Member of the Party Central Committee and Deputy Minister of Science and Technology, as well as senior officials from the National Authority of Digital Transformation. Delegates at the provincial levels included Nguyen Phi Long, alternate Member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Bui Thi Minh, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, and Bui Duc Hinh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee.

Also present were provincial department leaders, National Assembly deputies of Hoa Binh, business representatives, technology experts, and local students and residents.

Attendees explored an exhibition featuring "Make in Vietnam” technologies aimed at promoting digital government, economy, and society. Companies such as VNPT Group, Viettel Group, FPT Corporation, MobiFone, MISA, MedCAT JSC, Thánh Gióng Media & Computer Company, and Dell Vietnam showcased technologies contributing to national and local digital transformation, improving public services, governance, and economic development.

The event reinforced Hoa Binh’s commitment to the objectives outlined in Politburo Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW issued on December 22, 2024 by the Politburo on accelerating science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation. By bringing together government leaders, businesses, and experts, the festival aimed to ensure digital services are practical and accessible to all citizens.

In his speech, Nguyen Phi Long, alternate Member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, emphasised the role of science and technology in economic growth. He highlighted the province's achievements, such as the 40% Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in 2024 and the expansion of broadband internet, with 100% of communes now connected to high-speed fibre-optic networks and 4G coverage reaching 96% of areas. Hoa Binh also deployed digital platforms across all levels of government, improving service efficiency and accessibility. More than 85% of administrative documents are now submitted online, and the province consistently ranks in the top 10 for service quality. Despite progress, Long acknowledged barriers to digital transformation and stressed the need for continued awareness-raising and training to make digital tools accessible to everyone, especially vulnerable groups.

Bui The Duy, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology, praised Hoa Binh’s implementation of Resolution 57-NQ/TW and highlighted the importance of digital transformation in the province’s growth. He noted that as the province continues to restructure and develop its economy, digital tools will be crucial for progress.

Digital transformation is not about complex technology but about practical solutions that improve daily life, Duy said, calling for ongoing engagement from all sectors.

At the event, Hoa Binh’s police introduced the VNeID app, which simplifies online public services. Youth volunteers, in collaboration with local police and telecom companies, assisted residents at Phuong Lam Market in using digital services.

Experts shared solutions for Hoa Binh’s digital transformation. VNPT presented AI and big data applications for governance and economic development. MISA showcased a "Make in Vietnam” platform to drive innovation.

FPT demonstrated smart cameras using AI and IoT for security, while Viettel discussed a proactive e-governance platform for smarter public services, MobiFone shared AI-driven tools for digital transformation, and MedCAT introduced a platform to digitise unstructured data.

In his closing speech, Bui Duc Hinh, Deputy Secretary of the Hoa Binh Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, highlighted the festival's success in raising awareness and promoting digital literacy. He stressed that the "Digital Literacy for All” movement should be a long-term initiative, with ongoing action from all parties involved.

To sustain this momentum, he called for more digital skills training, the establishment of volunteer teams to support rural areas, and partnerships with telecom and tech companies to enhance infrastructure and platforms.
