The rapid change of technology is a golden opportunity for Vietnam's IT industry to breakthrough, becoming the leading "Innovation Hub" in Southeast Asia. Many Vietnamese businesses can confidently provide solutions in data science, artificial intelligence, IoT, Blockchain to domestic and foreign customers. The capacity of Vietnamese companies in these new technologies is almost unknown, especially to the foreign market, the main market of Vietnam's IT industry.  Therefore, Vietnamese IT businesses should have strong and effective promotional activities to introduce Vietnam's potential on new technologies so that Vietnam can become a leading destination for innovation in Southeast Asia region.

Vietnam ITO Conference 2019 will be held on October 23-24, 2019 in Ho Chi Minh City organized by VNITO Alliance, Investment & Trade Promotion Center, and Quang Trung Software City for the purpose of promoting the potential and strengths of Vietnam's IT industry, providing information, data and assessments on Vietnam's IT market from reputable organizations in the world. The conference will create many opportunities for cooperation through business matching and networking activities between Vietnamese IT companies and potential customers, as well as support Vietnamese businesses to develop their technical strengths thereby increasing the competitive advantage in the international market.

Confidence in the unique products and services

When it comes to innovation, new solutions, and technology 4.0, people often think that Vietnam has to import new technologies from abroad, but in fact, Vietnam has implemented outsourcing and innovative services for foreign companies from a long time. Therefore, the IT businesses have to promote their products and services to let domestic and foreign companies know that Vietnam has long worked on innovative products, many of which are good 4.0 solutions that can be provided to both foreign and domestic markets.

“VNITO is a significant event, not only in IT industry but also in technology field in general. We are aiming at the international market and providing differentiated, innovative products and services to customers across the globe, the Asia Pacific region, the Southeast Asia region and the domestic supplier system”, Mr. Long Vuong - Vice President of LogiGear shared.

Technology "markets" of Vietnamese and foreign IT enterprises

VNITO is the gathering event of all the elite of Vietnam's technology industry. This is not only a Vietnamese event but also the participation of many international investors, as well as businesses interested in this field. Coming to VNITO 2019, Mr. Nguyen Cong Ai - KPMG Deputy General Director said: KPMG will present a survey that KPMG has done with thousands of CEOs across the globe including leaders of IT businesses. The survey will bring new insights and encourage businesses to move towards a digital economy. KPMG hopes that these shares will be the motivation for Vietnamese enterprises to continue promoting their strengths, bringing development to the digital economy and creating a breakthrough development for the Vietnam's economy.

Mr. Tran Cong Thanh - Success software services Company shared that: “We would like to tell all partners and potential customers in the world about how smart and talented the Vietnamese engineers are in high tech areas. In addition, we believe that organizing the VNITO Conference is the best way to do so. And we believe that the conference is also a good opportunity for businesses to interact with partners in the same industry in order to organize teams to build good products and solutions.”

Although  the previous two VNITO Conferences (2015 and 2017) focused on software outsourcing, this year VNITO Conference wants to show and affirm that Vietnam is doing a lot of technology and innovation services. VNITO wants to turn VNITO Conference into a technology "market" for services and products provider, and potential customers to meet each other, and find suitable solutions. Mr. Tran Phuc Hong - Vice Chairman of VNITO and representative of the organizers provided more information: now there are nearly 30 exhibition booths from Korean and Japanese companies. The Business Matching program will also create more than 200 direct working meetings at the event. VNITO hopes to expand its customer network to Japan and South Korea and brings many opportunities for cooperation between Vietnam and all countries in the world.
