The goal by 2030 is to basically complete the construction of a smart city, synchronously connecting with the smart city network in the country and the ASEAN region.
Up to now, Da Nang has achieved some initial results such as: 3 years being ranked first in the provincial digital transformation index; 4 times receiving the Vietnam Smart City award... and many other international awards.
In 2024, Da Nang has 47 key targets for digital transformation.

Mr. Le Quang Nam, Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People's Committee, expressed his hope that the Ministry of Information and Communications would assist the city in digital transformation and affirmed that if selected by the Ministry of Information and Communications as a pilot, Da Nang would commit to being determined, making every effort, and coordinating with units of the Ministry of Information and Communications to thoroughly and practically implement the project.
After listening to the report and recommendations from Da Nang, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Pham Duc Long said that he was very impressed with the results Da Nang had achieved, as the city is a pioneer in digital transformation. The Ministry of Information and Communications will accompany the city, to the end, to carry out all indicators on digital transformation. In particular, focusing on public services and data centers.
Deputy Minister Pham Duc Long said that Da Nang has the opportunity to attract investors and has the conditions to build a complete ecosystem. However, Da Nang must come up with a general plan and general orientation.

According to Deputy Minister Pham Duc Long, the Ministry will work together to resolve the problems and difficulties that Da Nang has not been able to solve. Regarding the digital economy, Da Nang needs to do more research because this is a new field. With public services and data centers, we must be determined to do it thoroughly.
The Deputy Minister also expressed his wish that Da Nang would share its experiences and methods of digital transformation to guide other localities.
“If Da Nang can do it, other localities must do it too. There is no reason why one province can do it and another cannot. Hopefully, in the future, Da Nang, with its implementation experience, will contribute ideas to develop the country’s digital transformation, bringing practical results to the digital transformation cause,” said Deputy Minister Pham Duc Long.
