Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietnam Software and IT Services Association (VINASA) will apply the VINASA Tech Map methodology from 2025 to help position businesses on the digital technology map, an official has said.
Deputy General Secretary of VINASA An Ngọc Thao made the statement at press conference in Hanoi on February 26 to launch the top 10 Digital Technology Enterprises Programme and Vietnam Digital Technology Enterprise Map 2025.
The main activities of the map include positioning businesses in the technology ecosystem, connecting investment networks and innovation support funds, joining trade promotion activities, and expanding international markets.
In addition, VINASA will promote connecting enterprises with potential domestic and international partners as well as seminars and talk shows, enabling them to introduce solutions and share experiences.
According to the VINASA representative, the map will adopt an evaluation model based on two main dimensions: vision, reflecting the company’s development direction and future innovation potential, and execution capability, assessing the ability to implement and apply products and services.
Based on these two dimensions, enterprises will be categorised into four groups, namely the strength group (strong implementation capacity with a focus on practical efficiency), industry leaders (market pioneers with vision and execution ability), specialised players (enterprises having advantages in specific fields with deep expertise), and innovators (companies focusing on ground breaking innovations).
Through these criteria, the map will provide a comprehensive overview of Vietnam’s digital technology enterprise ecosystem, classifying businesses by industry, scale, innovation capacity and growth potential.
It is expected to serve as a critical tool to position enterprises in each specialised field as well as on Vietnam digital technology map, thereby building and implementing strategic plans to strengthen their potential, enhance competitiveness, and move towards sustainable development.
On the management side, there will also be more scientific data to devise support policies. For investors and international partners, it will serve as a valuable resource for quickly and accurately accessing promising businesses in Vietnam.
The map will be further refined to include companies across various segments, not just those in the top 10.
"The launch of the map helps businesses define their capabilities and establishes a foundation for expanding cooperation, attracting investment and accessing new markets,” said Vice President and General Secretary of VINASA Nguyen Thi Thu Giang said.
She went on to say that it is also an opportunity for Vietnam’s tech community to solidify its presence on the global technology map.
Digital potentials
Statistics show that as of November 30 last year, the number of operational digital technology enterprises reached 54,500, up 16% from the same period in 2023.
On December 22, 2024, the Politburo issued Resolution No.57 on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation. The goal of the resolution is to transform Vietnam into a leading innovator in the region by 2035.
With the promotion of investment in new technologies and policies to support enterprises according to Resolution 57, Vietnam's ICT industry is expected to continue to grow strongly, aiming to reach 4.32 quadrillion (169.21 billion USD) in revenue by 2025, contributing more than 12% of GDP and raising the proportion of Vietnamese value in the industry from 32% to 50% by 2030.
Thao said that the association aims to implement the top 10 Digital Technology Enterprises Programme alongside the continuous development and refinement of the Vietnam Digital Technology Enterprise Map each year./.
