TECHNOLOGY PROVES ESSENTIAL IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT RESTRUCTURING
Brief Summary (≈250 words): On July 1, 2025, Việt Nam launched a new two-tier local government model, with Quảng Ninh Province as a pioneer in its implementation. FPT Corporation played a central role in this digital transformation, deploying nearly 80 technical experts and over 100 IT specialists to support 54 wards and communes. This initiative aimed to streamline administrative procedures and establish a citizen-centric, modern digital governance model. FPT built a cloud computing system to run a next-generation administrative platform, enhancing real-time data use, efficiency, and transparency. The system allowed residents to submit administrative documents at any transaction point, marking a shift to a ‘borderless service’ mindset. Within two weeks, online public service usage surged from under 15% to over 70%. FPT and Quảng Ninh agreed on a strategic cooperation framework based on four pillars: creating a supportive legal environment, building a unified data platform with AI, introducing OKR-based governance, and aiding local businesses with digital transformation. Two implementation programs “Mindset Transformation” and collaboration with FPT’s tech ecosystem, will support capacity building. Looking ahead, FPT will assist Quảng Ninh with institutional reform, smart infrastructure, vocational education, smart healthcare, and investment-friendly policies through 2030. The corporation aims to replicate this model nationwide and is already collaborating with 32 out of 63 provinces on digital transformation, aligned with Politburo Resolution 57-NQ/TW on science, technology, and innovation by 2045.
