HCM City (VNS/VNA) - Vietnam needs to work on implementing modern IT systems and highquality workforce training in the water supply and drainage industries inpreparation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, experts said at a conferencein HCM City on November 8.

Mai Thi Lien Huong of the Ministry of Construction said Vietnam’s water supplyand drainage industry had been applying hi-tech methods and IT. However, it wasfacing problems such as limited funding, climate change and pollution.

Investing into smart systems for managing water distribution is crucial forsustainable development of water industries.

Nguyen Viet Anh, Director of the Institute of Environment Science andEngineering, said that Industry 4.0 technologies like cloud computing, 3Dprinting, AI and the Internet of Things can be used alongside data collectionand processing in water supply and drainage systems. Smart equipment such assmart valves, digital data loggers and equipment to detect leakage can also beimplemented. 

Vietnam’s production capability for smart water management products is stilllimited. Smart systems require a large amount of data, which can be difficultto gather and manage.

Supervisory control and data acquisition systems need to be upgraded for betterdata gathering and water network management. Database and customer serviceshould move away from manual paperwork and be more digitised.

Vietnam should work towards smart water supply and drainage systems to enableefficient management of water quality and volume, weather forecasts and problemdetection.

Ung Quoc Dung, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Water Supply and SewerageAssociation, said that, despite the fact that many firms in the country werestill using low-tech systems, the implementation of 4.0 technology would imposemassive changes on the Vietnamese job market. Low skilled jobs would bereplaced by high skilled employees needed to run smart systems.

Firms will also have to train and hire more suitable workers and invest more inmodern IT systems. 

“In the future, the intelligence and talent of the workers will be the most importantfactor for production, so preparing a high quality workforce is essential,” Dungsaid.

The education system and human resource training have to be revamped to produceworkers that have the skills and creativity needed for Industry 4.0.

Many skilled workers are grouped in HCM City and Hanoi, while more are neededin the Central Highlands and Mekong Delta.

Dung said that to prepare for Industry 4.0, the workforce – especially in thedrainage and wastewater industries, which are relatively new in Vietnam– needsto improve on foreign languages, IT capability, teamwork, communication andother skills.

The competition offered Vietnamese students a valuable opportunity to affirm the country’s position on the global technology stage.

Vietnam and Estonia share similar approaches to digital citizenship development, placing citizens at the centre of digital transformation and using electronic identity systems and resident databases as foundations for online public services and digital transactions.

Representing Vietnam were VinRobotics and VinDynamics, two tech subsidiaries of Vingroup. They showcased "Make in Vietnam" humanoid robots, demonstrating the country’s growing capacity to integrate into the global robotics value chain.

Quantum computers are closer than ever. The year 2026 has been internationally designated the "Year of Quantum Security" -- and the window to prepare is closing fast.

Deputy PM Ho Quoc Dung pressed ministries and agencies to rapidly convert their assigned tasks into concrete action plans with clearly defined responsibilities, and effectively launch projects that create strategic technology products capable of sharpening national competitiveness.

The portal will provide technological solutions and data infrastructure, while the service centre will facilitate system integration.

Mel Shalev, a former senior Israeli technology expert, who have spent decades working, conducting research and collaborating with partners in Vietnam, noted that the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is bringing profound changes to education worldwide, suggesting Vietnam capitalise on this trend to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness.

In Vietnam, digital transformation in the finance and banking sector is accelerating cashless payments, expanding access to financial services, improving market transparency and supporting economic growth and macroeconomic management.

Fostering the habit of using legitimate copyrighted publications, respecting authors’ rights, and promoting a healthy digital consumption culture will help create a more sustainable environment for the publishing industry in the future.

According to Dr. Le Minh Nghia, Chairman of the Vietnam Financial Consulting Association (VFCA), AI has become a key driver reshaping the global financial industry. In Vietnam, the technology is already widely used in banking and finance for credit analysis, electronic customer identification (eKYC), risk management, service personalisation and real-time transaction processing.

Since the Prime Minister issued Directive 38, which directs ministries and agencies to strengthen efforts against IP violations, 1,438 cases had been detected and processed as of May 27.

The workshop aims to achieve three key objectives providing a platform for academic exchange and strengthening collaboration between leading international scientists and young researchers, including doctoral students; promoting multidimensional scientific dialogue on major open questions in the field; and initiating new directions for international research cooperation with the active participation of Vietnam's physics community.

With the bilateral relations continuing to grow and the determination of both sides to advance innovation, cooperation in AI and high technology is expected to become one of the most dynamic pillars of Vietnam-Singapore relations in the coming time.

After four editions of the Top Industry 4.0, this year, the programme was officially renamed “Vietnam I4 Impact Awards”, which is not just a change in name but a shift in development thinking and core values.

Experts said close coordination among State management agencies, research institutes, universities, and businesses will improve training quality and serve the dual goals of quality education and practical research application.

To promote copyright protection, Vietnam is accelerating efforts to master core technologies and build integrated platforms capable of receiving, processing, distributing and protecting digital content on a unified system.

OVs hope the two countries can establish an interconnected cooperation mechanism in the technology supply chain, from sharing research, testing, and development infrastructure to training human resources, thereby forming a technology alliance able to compete with others in the ASEAN region and the world.

Part of the Vietnam Innovation Challenge 2026, the programme goes beyond conventional coding competitions by requiring participants to develop AI-driven solutions to business challenges in real time.
