This is part of key targets outlined for digital transformation across the southern city’s industrial and export processing zones.

More than 60% of businesses operating in export processing
and industrial zones in Ho Chi Minh City are expected to adopt digital
technologies by 2026, as part of the city’s ambitious digital transformation
agenda.

Speaking at a Digital Transformation Week held recently at Vinh Loc
Industrial Park, Mr. Le Van Thinh, Deputy Head of the Ho Chi Minh City Export
Processing and Industrial Zones Authority (HEPZA), said the city has outlined
four key targets for digital transformation across its industrial and export
processing zones next year.

These include achieving full 5G coverage across all
industrial parks, ensuring more than 60% of enterprises implement digital
technologies, equipping 80–90% of workers with basic digital platforms, and
developing eco-industrial and smart industrial park models. The targets are
considered highly ambitious given current conditions.

To support effective implementation, the Digital Transformation
Week  was structured around three core pillars: a
new legal framework, digital governance solutions, and workforce development—an
often overlooked aspect of digital transformation efforts that typically focus
on machinery and operational processes.

The event was jointly organized by HEPZA, the Ho Chi Minh
City Industrial Park Business Association (HBA), Viettel Ho Chi Minh City, and
Vinh Loc Industrial Park Infrastructure Development Company. As one of the
first five industrial parks selected for rollout, Vinh Loc will serve as a
pilot model, with lessons expected to guide expansion across the city’s
broader industrial zone network.
