This partnership is a global imperative to bring Vietnam\u2019s rapidly rising tech economy to the forefront of the world stage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GSMA and VDCA will discuss how they help accelerate Vietnam\u2019s at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/about-us\/regions\/asia-pacific\/gsma_events\/dns-hanoi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>GSMA Digital Nation Summit Hanoi<\/strong><\/a>, taking place on 15 April 2025<strong> <\/strong>at the Sheraton West Hanoi Hotel. The summit will bring together senior government leaders, global tech companies, and industry experts to explore how emerging technologies \u2013 including AI, GSMA Open Gateway, and Open RAN \u2013 can power Vietnam\u2019s next phase of digital development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) the GSMA and VDCA will focus on how the mobile ecosystem can help support the Vietnamese Government\u2019s <em>Information and Communication Infrastructure Plan 2021-2030<\/em>, which includes expanding broadband infrastructure to cover 99% of the population with 5G networks by 2030, promoting environmentally sustainable digital infrastructure, creating innovation zones to accelerate technological development, and positioning Vietnam as a regional hub for network and data security.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this MoU, GSMA and VDCA will share technical expertise, promote industry events, and convene stakeholders through thought leadership platforms. GSMA will contribute through its global work on spectrum policy and cybersecurity frameworks. Resources such as the GSMA Mobile Threat Intelligence Framework (MoTIF), guidelines on fraud prevention and quantum-safe technology, and global best practices on regulatory governance will be made available to support Vietnam\u2019s strategic goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This collaboration is set against the backdrop of Vietnam\u2019s emergence as a rising digital economy with global potential. Mobile technologies and services contributed over $20 billion to Vietnam\u2019s economy in 2023, and the number of mobile internet users continues to rise steadily. By 2030, 5G is expected to account for nearly one-third of all mobile connections, supporting innovation across industries. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partnership will also help the VDCA and Vietnamese digital communications ecosystem plug into the GSMA\u2019s global network of mobile innovation. As the home of MWC Barcelona and the M360 series, GSMA convenes the world\u2019s mobile leaders to solve industry and societal challenges. The MoU with VDCA signals a shared commitment to ensure Vietnam\u2019s innovation journey is showcased on the global stage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Julian Gorman, Head of Asia Pacific, GSMA, said: <em>&#8220;Vietnam is quickly becoming one of the region\u2019s most exciting digital markets. Our partnership with VDCA reflects a shared commitment to shaping a future where innovation, inclusion, and resilience go hand in hand. We\u2019re excited to co-host the Digital Nations Summit in Hanoi and work together to accelerate progress in broadband access and cybersecurity.&#8221;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/about-us\/regions\/asia-pacific\/gsma_events\/dns-hanoi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Join us in Hanoi<\/a> to help shape the future of digital nations &#8211; and Vietnam\u2019s growing role in the global innovation economy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>-ENDS-<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About VCDA<\/strong>&nbsp;<br \/>The <a href=\"https:\/\/vdca.org.vn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VDCA<\/a> is a prominent social-professional organisation dedicated to the advancement of digital technology and communications in Vietnam.
