HCM City (VNA) – Updating technology and revamping administration are crucial for theexistence and development of Vietnamese businesses amidst the fourth industrialrevolution, experts said at a workshop in Ho Chi Minh City on April 12.

The experts agreedthat the industrial revolution has directly impacted Vietnam’s economy, especiallyenterprises.

Assoc. Prof. Dr.Le Hoai Quoc, head of the management board of the Saigon High-teach Park(SHTP), said the revolution generates both opportunities and challenges forlocal firms.

Sectors liketourism, domestic trade, IT, education, health care and construction willbenefit from data connectivity and digitalisation. Meanwhile, energy,electricity, electronics, manafucaturing technology and garment-textile areexpected to face cost-related challenges.

However, this rulewould not be applied to all enterprises in those sectors, he said, explainingthat those which know how to grasp opportunities, update technologies andcreate suitable products will grow rapidly.

On the contrary,businesses which lag behind in terms of technologies may have to downsize oreven withdraw from the market, he said.

Lieu Hung Tien,Director of Haravan Technology Corporation, suggested local firms utilise e-commerceto gain market share, given internet users make up 60 percent of Vietnam’spopulation, with each of them spending 25 hours per week online, and about 600million cross-border consumers globally.

Le Dinh Phong, arobotics and automation expert, said small scale and limited financial capacityhave hindered domestic firms from investing in automatic lines and cutting-edgetechnologies.

He said only 1percent of Vietnamese businesses are using state-of-the-art technologies while mostof them are struggling with out-of-date machines.

Given this,Vietnamese enterprises have no choice but adapt to the global trend in order todevelop, experts said.

Nguyen Lam Vien,General Director of Vinamit JSC, said apart from digital technology, and dataand physical techniques, attention should be paid to biological technology,which, he said, plays a very important role in agriculture and food processing.

Trinh Thanh Nhon,General Director of ICC, a cosmetics manufacturer, said that Vietnam’ssmall-and medium-sized enterprises will face more challenges on the path towardsthe industrial revolution.

Highlighting theefficiency of new technology in production, Nhon said after revampingproduction technology, ICC needs only 50 workers compared with 150 in the past,with output up three-fold.

Delegates at theworkshop also said that new administration technology can help leaderssupervise production and handle problems easily.

They suggested employingmore labourers with high skills, encouraging foreign firms to participate inthe local supply chain and promoting innovation.-VNA

Notably, disbursed FDI reached an estimated 9.75 billion USD in the January–May period, up 9.6% year-on-year and also the highest five-month figure recorded in the past five years.

Addressing the seminar, SSC Chairwoman Vu Thi Chan Phuong said Vietnam maintained macroeconomic stability throughout 2025 and into early 2026, with inflation kept under control and economic growth remaining robust, creating favourable conditions for stock market expansion.

Using the app’s digital map, users can find the nearest fuel station, obtain directions, check operating status, and view available fuel types and prices. The feature is particularly useful for long-distance travel or during periods of market supply fluctuations.

With the current trading band of +/- 5%, the ceiling rate applicable for commercial banks during the day is 26,402 VND/USD, and the floor rate 23,888 VND/USD.

Ho Chi Minh City hopes to expand Italian-language education, promote exchanges among students, lecturers and experts, and continue coordinating in organising cultural, artistic, culinary, fashion, sports and tourism activities to strengthen people-to-people ties.

HDBank, VietinBank, LPBank, FPT Corporation, MBBank, Vinhomes JSC, VPBank, Vietcombank, Vietjet Air, and SHB topped the 2026 VIX50 ranking of the nation’s most prestigious and effective public companies.

According to Tiffany Hoang, Chapter Lead of the Stellar Vietnam fund, three key factors are drawing the attention of investment funds to Vietnam and Da Nang in particular.

Attracting next-generation high-tech FDI will require Vietnam to move beyond its low-cost advantage and strengthen domestic capabilities, enabling local firms to secure higher-value positions in global value chains.

Rising geopolitical tensions and tightening supply are driving global rubber prices to their highest since 2017, creating opportunities for Vietnam’s industry, though experts urge exporters to diversify markets and meet sustainability standards to fully benefit.

UOB said it plans to build a new headquarters in Ho Chi Minh City, with a ground-breaking ceremony planned for July. The site sits within the designated VIFC-Ho Chi Minh City (VIFC-HCMC) zone.

Vietnamese airlines operating routes to and from Japan have adjusted flight schedules for June 3 due to the impact of Storm Jangmi.

Developing biofuels also stokes demand for agricultural commodities, advances the circular economy, underpins the biofuel industry and lifts domestic value chains, said Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Tuc.

With its strong manufacturing base, abundant raw materials, and rapidly growing digital commerce ecosystem, Vietnam can become a leading e-commerce export hub in Southeast Asia. Through platforms such as Amazon, Vietnamese products can not only increase export turnover but also gradually build globally competitive brands capable of conquering global markets.

VIFC development still faces challenges amid a complex global environment, with financial centres worldwide competing intensely for capital. As a late entrant, Vietnam must adopt sufficiently strong mechanisms and policies to attract investors while maintaining effective oversight, controlling risks, safeguarding macroeconomic stability and ensuring sustainable growth.

A defining feature of the year was the Politburo's issuance of four major resolutions covering science, technology and innovation, international integration, law-making and law enforcement reform, and private sector development. VCCI said the resolutions signalled a broader shift in governance, with policymaking increasingly focused on enabling growth, fostering innovation and unlocking development resources.

Experts said Vietnam should introduce targeted incentives to attract investment in high-tech industries, renewable energy, green growth and the circular economy, while tightening screening of projects that are resource-intensive, environmentally damaging or generate limited added value.

ccording to the Department for Roads of Vietnam, the Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex) is investing in nine rest stops. At the Mai Son–National Highway 45 rest area, 10 charging points have been installed on each side of the expressway. Each point has two charging ports, providing 20 EV charging spaces on each side.

Le Anh Trung, Chairman of the Dak Lak Durian Association, said durian remains a relatively new product for Indian consumers. While the market is highly segmented, India has a large and growing middle- and upper-income population with the purchasing power to support premium fruit imports.

Statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) show that the localisation rate of Vietnam’s textile and garment industry accounts for only about half of the value chain, meaning a significant portion of production revenue is spent on imported fabrics and other inputs.

Under the joint statement, accelerating cross-border infrastructure connectivity, particularly in railways, road transport and border gates, was identified as a key area of cooperation.
