In order to implement policies and directions to promote the development of the digital economy and e-commerce, according to the plan, on December 10, 2025, in Ho Chi Minh City, the Department of E-commerce and Digital Economy (Ministry of Industry and Trade) plans to organize a training conference to enhance the capacity for applying and developing e-commerce.
This initiative aims to support businesses, cooperatives, and local production facilities in gradually improving their technological application capabilities, expanding distribution channels, and adapting to market demands in the context of rapid digital transformation.
The conference was held against the backdrop of e-commerce and digital platforms increasingly asserting their crucial role in the circulation of goods, connecting supply and demand, and promoting consumption. For Vietnamese businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, cooperatives, and household businesses in localities, e-commerce is not just a new sales method, but has become a modern distribution channel, contributing to shortening intermediaries, directly reaching consumers, and enhancing competitiveness.
Enhancing e-commerce application capacity for businesses and localities.
The conference is expected to focus on introducing general directions for e-commerce development linked to digital transformation, while also providing an overview of trends in applying new technologies in production and business activities. The discussions will aim to raise awareness, update knowledge and basic skills, helping local businesses and sellers to better access and effectively utilize e-commerce channels and digital platforms.
The organizers stated that the conference is expected to be attended by representatives from state management agencies, experts in e-commerce, digital economy, and information technology, as well as representatives from several e-commerce and digital platforms operating in Vietnam. Through the program, local businesses, cooperatives, and production facilities are expected to gain more information and a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and challenges when participating in the domestic and international e-commerce market.
Besides training content, the conference is also expected to create a space for exchange and connection among stakeholders in the e-commerce ecosystem, thereby strengthening coordination between state management agencies, digital platforms, and the business community in the process of implementing programs to support product consumption in the digital environment.
Contributing to the sustainable development of the digital economy.
Representatives from the Department of E-commerce and Digital Economy (Ministry of Industry and Trade) stated that organizing training conferences to enhance e-commerce application capabilities is one of the important solutions to support businesses and localities in adapting to the digitalization trend, while contributing to the completion of the e-commerce ecosystem in a sustainable, transparent, and efficient manner.
According to the Department's representative, through training and networking activities, businesses and local producers and traders will gradually improve their capacity to apply technology, leverage the advantages of their distinctive products, increase value, and expand market access. This also serves as a basis for promoting regional and inter-industry linkages and supporting businesses to participate more deeply in the value chain in the context of the digital economy.
The conference on training and capacity building in e-commerce application and development is expected to be a forum for information exchange, policy orientation, and experience sharing among stakeholders, creating a foundation for the implementation of support programs for businesses and localities in the future. This will contribute to promoting the development of e-commerce in line with production and business practices, meeting the requirements of socio-economic development in the new era.
