In his opening speech at the conference, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Ho Quoc Dung said: The 20th Provincial Party Congress set the goal of developing Binh Dinh into a strong and sustainable economic center, based on the foundation of science, technology and innovation. This is not only a task but also the aspiration of the entire Party Committee, government and people of Binh Dinh.  The development of AI, semiconductor industry and cyber security are important steps to realize this goal, contributing to building the province into a high-tech center of the Central region in particular and the whole country in general. Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Ho Quoc Dung said that AI is opening up breakthrough opportunities in all fields. Binh Dinh has begun research to apply AI in areas such as smart urban management, application of legal documents, in healthcare, high-tech agriculture, etc. These applications not only help improve service quality but also bring optimal solutions, save costs and improve management efficiency. However, for AI to truly become the main driving force for development, it is necessary to build a strong technology ecosystem, including investing in modern digital infrastructure, building and developing high-quality human resources, especially attracting the participation of leading technology enterprises.

In addition, technology development must include cyber security. In the context of strong digital transformation taking place nationwide, protecting information systems and data has become a more urgent requirement than ever. Binh Dinh has implemented many measures to improve cyber security capacity, however, to cope with increasing challenges, it is necessary to cooperate more closely with international experts and organizations to update the most advanced solutions and technologies. This not only ensures information security but also helps Binh Dinh create a safe and reliable digital environment, promoting the development of the digital economy.

For the semiconductor industry, the world has identified this as one of the core industries of the 21st century;  Semiconductor products not only play an important role in modern electronic devices but are also the foundation of all technological advances. For Binh Dinh, developing the semiconductor industry is not only an opportunity to participate in the global supply chain but also helps to enhance the province's technological position; this requires a long-term strategic vision, serious investment in technology infrastructure and creating a favorable business environment to attract domestic and foreign investors.

Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Ho Quoc Dung also shared: The conference is an opportunity for us to review the results achieved, discuss the challenges we are facing and most importantly, orient the future, identify what needs to be done for development.  I hope that through the discussions and exchanges, we will have specific solutions and strategies to promote AI to become one of the main pillars of the economy, the semiconductor industry will gradually be formed and network security and information security will be increasingly solid in Binh Dinh, helping the province not only catch up but also rise to become one of the leading localities in the 4.0 industrial revolution and a bright spot on the technology map of Vietnam.

Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Bui Hoang Phuong speaks at the conference
