Following the enactment of the Vietnamese Politburo's Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on science, technology, and national digital transformation, the digital technology sector recorded expansion in terms of revenue and exports. According to data from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the sector's total revenue reached 215 billion US dollars and export turnover reached 172 billion US dollars in 2025, showing increases of 36 percent and 30 percent compared to 2024, respectively.

Behind the growth were enterprises' moves toward product development and participation in the value chain. Viettel High Tech Corporation carried out work in areas such as 5G base stations and the VGC v1.0 secure semiconductor chip introduced in November 2026. Similarly, Phenikaa-X Joint Stock Company included products such as autonomous buses, robotaxis, and cleaning and delivery robots in controlled testing programs in Hanoi.

The national digital transformation process was supported by infrastructure improvements and database establishment efforts. While the National Digital Core Architecture Framework was published, it was reported that as of September 30, 2026, 37 out of 79 national common digital platforms were operational and 12 were in the testing phase. As of October 2026, approximately 36.16 million digital signature certificates were issued, while domestic artificial intelligence platforms supporting public services were also made available to ministries and local governments.
