The Vietnamese government has unveiled an ambitious national strategy to establish itself as a leading blockchain technology hub in Asia by 2030, outlined in Decision No. 1236/QD-TTg signed by Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc.
The comprehensive strategy identifies blockchain as a key technological driver of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and aims to develop 20 regionally influential blockchain brands. The plan emphasizes building advanced digital infrastructure and enhancing data security across the nation.
Key objectives include establishing at least three blockchain testing centers in major cities and positioning Vietnamese institutions among Asia’s top 10 blockchain research and training facilities.
To achieve these goals, the government has outlined five strategic actions for 2024-2030:
- Legal framework development
- Infrastructure and ecosystem building
- Human resource development
- Application promotion
- Research and international cooperation
Various ministries, including the Ministry of Information and Communications, Government Cipher Committee, and Ministry of Education and Training, have been assigned specific responsibilities to implement the strategy.
“This initiative will contribute significantly to building advanced digital infrastructure and ensuring data reliability and security,” said a government spokesperson. The strategy reflects Vietnam’s commitment to becoming a major player in the regional blockchain landscape and fostering technological innovation.
