Business leaders came together at a workshop in Hanoi on November 14 to promote the application of technology in Vietnam’s small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in a bid to enhance competitiveness and expand markets.
According to the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, who organised the event, technology is an effective tool for SMEs to promote their products, improve operations, reduce travel time and costs, and push exports.
Le Duc Anh from the Department of E-commerce and Information Technology said Vietnam has seen substantial growth in e-commerce over the past three years.
With advanced technology, SMEs with limited financial resources and low competitiveness will stand better chances to access international markets, Anh added.
