The two-day forum is being held at Hanoi-based National Economics University and connected to many venues worldwide.

Delegates are discussing a range of topics, including the digital economy, startup innovation, new technology application and transfer, digital transformation and solutions, among others.

The two-day forum serves to provide a chance for young Vietnamese intellectuals both at home and abroad to examine ways to contribute to the national digital transformation programme by 2025, with a vision for 2030.

Following three such forums, 640 Vietnamese intellectuals have put forward a total of 415 proposals on socio-economic development.

A network of young Vietnamese intellectuals with over 1,000 members has now been established. In addition, a number of research groups on mechanical engineering, automation, agriculture 4.0, circular economy and sustainable development, educational technology, pandemic control, and healthcare technology 4.0 have also been established.
