The compiling committee discussed the content of the ICT White Book 2020

The compiling committee of Vietnam’s ICT White Book held a meeting on August 26 to discuss the content of the 2020 edition.

The event followed the Minister of Information and Communications’ Decision No.1267/QD-BTTTT dated July 28, 2020 on the establishment of the compiling committee.

Chairing the meeting, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Phan Tam asked participants to check the targets of each sector and field to increase diversity in content.

Vietnam’s ICT White Book 2020 is planned to include three parts, the first being an overview of IT development in the country and around the globe in recent years; highlights in Vietnam’s IT industry; Vietnam’s global IT ranking; the role and content of the national digital transformation programme, as well as its importance to national socioeconomic development; orientations for the IT industry, and electronics and telecommunications development.

The second part will provide statistics on the IT industry from 2019; the list of 20 localities taking the lead in IT revenue, number of IT businesses, and workforce; the top 20 IT businesses in revenue, IT workforce, and state budget contribution.

The third part will introduce IT-related agencies and organisations.

In addition, the book will analyse the implementation results of the national IT industry development programme in 2015-2019; generalise national digital transformation; and provide statistics about foreign investment in the IT industry, among others.

Vietnam announced the ICT White Book 2019 late last year with some new sections on IT development, data about IT development in localities, and the development of IT businesses, helping people, businesses, and agencies in looking up and using databases.
