Under the agreement, VNPT and Da Nang will jointly continue to maintain telecommunications and information technology (IT) systems and services that the former has already built in the 2014 – 2018 period, especially services supporting the the city government’s management work in natural disaster mitigation and emergency response.

During the 2018 – 2020 period, VNPT will help the city to develop IT applications in the fields of natural resources and environment, e-government, tourism, traffic, agriculture and public security.  The collaboration also represents an initial step towards the creation of a green and smart city by 2025.


Addressing the event, Chairman Huynh Duc Tho said that, in the current context of rapidly changing world technology, it is high time for Da Nang to accelerate its smart city building process.

At present, the inevitable trend in international urban management is to use artificial intelligence, big data, block chain. If Da Nang fails to meet these requirements, it will be quickly left further behind. 

The city leader underlined a must for VNPT to develop a roadmap for building a smart city in the most reasonable manner. In particular, the solutions must be implemented in a synchronised manner, with a focus on training managerial staff to maximise the productivity.
