The city also sets a goal of improving online public services, reaching a rate of more than 80% of full-process online services by the end of the year, along with upgrading digital platforms to facilitate civil and administrative services. Can Tho focuses on cooperation to improve technological capacity to meet the requirements of automation and standardization of digital platforms for urban development and public services.
Meanwhile, Soc Trang, through Program No. 67-CT/TU, focuses on developing technological infrastructure, improving the capacity of science and innovation centers, and promoting digital community models, such as the network of digital technology groups and issuing criminal records through the VNeID application. The province aims to build a safe and sustainable digital economic environment, promote innovation, and contribute to improving the competitiveness and sustainable development of the locality. These efforts clearly demonstrate the determination of both the government and the community to realize the goals of the resolution, making science and digital transformation the main driving force of national development in the new era.
