Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW has identified the core content of the country's industrialization and modernization in the 2021-2030 period as promoting the strong application of science and technology, innovation, especially the achievements of the fourth industrial revolution; creating breakthroughs in productivity, quality, efficiency, and competitiveness of industries, fields, and the entire economy; implementing comprehensive, substantive, effective, and sustainable digital transformation; considering digital transformation as a new breakthrough method to shorten the industrialization and modernization process. Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW also identifies the digital technology industry as one of the six fundamental industries, in which smart manufacturing on the 5G network platform is the core of the digital technology industry.
According to Ericsson Group's forecast, by 2025, the Asia-Pacific region will attract two-thirds of global manufacturers, with smart manufacturing leading the way. Currently, seven countries in the region, including Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, have deployed the production of 5G smart technology devices. Vietnam is also considered by Ericsson as an attractive destination with revenue from the 5G industry estimated at 1.54 billion USD by 2030.
Vietnam is also ranked in the group of digital technology consumer economies among 40 economies actively pursuing Industry 4.0. Of which, Vietnam's digital equipment and technology imports ranked 15th, technology exports ranked 46th and patent activities ranked 48th out of 150 economies.
However, according to a World Bank study published in November 2021, in Vietnam's manufacturing industry, 70% of products are created using human-controlled machines, 20% are handmade, only 9% use computer-controlled machines and less than 1% use more advanced technologies such as robots and 3D additive manufacturing. Only a small portion of Vietnamese enterprises participate in innovation activities. It can be seen that the development of smart manufacturing in Vietnam is facing many intertwined opportunities, difficulties and challenges.
Therefore, promoting the shift from assembly and processing to product manufacturing in the direction of Make in Vietnam; innovating in Vietnam, designing in Vietnam and manufacturing in Vietnam; developing and mastering production technology, promoting R&D; developing creative industries and digital content ecosystems in Vietnam; policies to support businesses, especially traditional businesses and manufacturing businesses, to transform to smart manufacturing, providing products and services on digital platforms... are issues that need special attention in the current context.
At the workshop "Digital transformation and green transformation of the service industry in the process of industrialization and modernization to 2030, vision to 2045", Mr. Pham Tien Dung, Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam, said that the banking industry has issued a digital transformation plan quite early, a project to develop green banking. Currently, about 72-73% of adults have bank accounts. "There cannot be a perfect public service if people do not have bank accounts and still use a lot of cash. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the proportion of people with bank accounts, especially the disadvantaged," Mr. Pham Tien Dung shared.
