He highlighted the province’s strategic location in the heart of the Mekong Delta and the potential of the young workforce.

Sharing his impressions after the province's development plan announcement, Schellenberg asserted, “The leadership of Hau Giang has a clear vision to develop the digital economy and is taking steps to realise that vision. In the future, Hau Giang will be known not only for its famous agricultural products but also as a regional technology hub.”

In addition, Schellenberg expressed a desire to collaborate with the province on digital transformation projects, emphasising that Hau Giang's digital transformation journey should be carried out by its own talented workforce.
