The first “Make in Vietnam digital technology product” awards were launched in Hà Nội on August 19, aiming to promote the development of digital technology businesses in the country.

Minister of Information and Communications Nguyễn Mạnh Hùng said this was the first time the nationwide awards for digital technology products had been launched, and it was open to enterprises of all economic sectors.

The awards, organised by the Ministry of Information and Communications and the Việt Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), seek outstanding products that can serve as pillars in the national digital transformation, thereby helping to turn Việt Nam into a digital economy, he noted.

Entries need to be designed and developed in Việt Nam and solve problems facing the country. They will be awarded in five categories, namely digital platforms, digital products, digital solutions, narrowing the digital gap, and potential digital products.

Entries should be submitted via the website https://makeinvietnam.mic.gov.vn/ between August 20 and October 20.
