Vietnam approves national action programme for cloud computing

The programme aims to prioritise resources, master technology, boost innovation, and develop and apply cloud computing to build an advanced, synchronous, secure, and sustainable digital infrastructure, capable of providing high-performance computing resources.

It also aims to improve national competitiveness, promote the digital economy, and create momentum to realise the country's socioeconomic development goals. This will help Vietnam become one of the leading countries in ASEAN for data centres and cloud computing services by 2030, towards a developed, high-income country by 2045.

All state agencies and enterprises will use cloud computing services by 2030 as part of the plan.

The country will attempt to draw domestic and foreign investment to build large-scale, modern, high-performance computing and international standard data centres that are safe, sustainable, and green.

There will be at least three “Made in Vietnam” cloud computing platform products certified to meet international standards, capable of providing services to support the deployment of AI applications and compete in the region.

To achieve these goals, the programme sets out tasks and solutions, with the first being perfecting institutions to promote the development of infrastructure and services using cloud computing technology.

They include a detailed implementation plan, and legislation regulating the government cloud platform to support the comprehensive digital transformation of Vietnam.

Policies to encourage state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, and individuals to adopt cloud computing products and services provided by domestic enterprises will also be issued, as well as incentive policies to support technology startups and digital enterprises.

The country will encourage digital enterprises and key sectors of the economy to migrate to a cloud computing environment to optimise production costs, improve processes, enhance competitiveness, and create spillover effects to the whole of society.

Solutions are also necessary to ensure network information security and data protection on cloud computing in accordance with the law.

The programme will also include policies and commitments on data management, independent auditing, network information security, disaster preparedness, and the ability to adapt on cloud computing platforms.
