HCMC - At least 300,000 firms will receive support for advanced technology adoption under a 2026-2030 SME digital transformation project recently approved by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.

The project aims to support 500,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by 2030 at all activities, including at least 300,000 firms that will adopt digital solutions, platforms, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The initiative focuses on developing a network of at least 500 professional consultants to guide enterprises through sector-specific roadmaps. A key objective is to identify and nurture 200 model digital SMEs across critical industries, including manufacturing, high-tech, logistics and healthcare. To facilitate this, the Government will invest in shared digital infrastructure and provide SMEs with expanded access to national research and development (R&D) centers and key laboratories. Beyond infrastructure, the project offers a comprehensive support chain, from assessing digital readiness to providing legal advice and human resource training. By promoting a digital-first culture and diversifying financial resources, Vietnam aims to help SMEs move up the global value chain.
