Digital transformation, simply put, includes digitization and transformation. Digitization is comprehensive digitization, which is transferring all activities to the digital environment, converting the entire real world into a digital copy, thereby forming a new living space - the digital space, and generating a huge and countless new resource, which is data. Transformation is a total and comprehensive change in the way of operating and operating in the digital space through the use of digital technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), and processing data to generate new values. Digital transformation is therefore larger than the connotation of an industrial revolution.
Digital transformation is mainly about transformation, transformation is 70, technology is 30. Digital transformation is a revolution in institutions, about change more than a revolution in technology.
National Digital Transformation Day was announced in 2022 and this year is the 3rd year. This day is a digital transformation festival for the people, for all levels of government. National Digital Transformation Day to raise awareness and action of the government and people. For Vietnam's digital transformation to truly become all-people and comprehensive.
This year is the year we will evaluate the results of digital transformation at the final level.
Digital transformation takes people as the center, we must see how they benefit from digital transformation.
Community digital technology groups take the idea from the community COVID group. Go to every alley, knock on every door, guide each subject. This is a creative and effective model, only in Vietnam. Established since 2022, to date there have been 93,500 community CNS groups with 458,000 members. This is a powerful force to make Vietnam's digital transformation truly a national revolution.

In 2024, the Prime Minister has directed to summarize successful models of digital transformation at the ministerial and sectoral levels, online public services, and smart operations centers, in order to replicate and popularize them nationwide. Only when they are popularized can we reap the success of digital transformation. And the time has come. If we previously focused on piloting, now we are shifting our focus to popularizing what has been successfully piloted. Vietnam's digital transformation has entered its 5th year. With the speech on digital transformation by General Secretary and President To Lam on the anniversary of the founding of the country on September 2, 2024, Vietnam's digital transformation has truly become a revolutionary cause of the entire Party and people. Only when digital transformation becomes a cause, a daily task of the entire Party and people, will the value that digital transformation brings to the country be truly enormous. Only then will digital transformation be the main driving force for development. The past 4 years can be considered as the start, the pilot, the initial success in some areas, the formation of the theory and method of digital transformation in Vietnam. And in this 5th year, it has truly become a revolutionary cause of the Party, the State and the People. Digital transformation has become the focus of the Party and the State's activities, so there needs to be a strategic breakthrough for digital transformation so that digital transformation can contribute significantly to the completion of the 2 hundred-year goals. That is the breakthrough in digital institutions, digital infrastructure, digital data and digital cadres. Digital cadres are first and foremost leaders, who must directly direct, directly implement and master the use. The results of digital transformation of units are the criteria for evaluating cadres and leaders. This year is the 3rd consecutive year that the Prime Minister has directly attended and directed the National Digital Transformation Day. Vietnam's digital transformation has made strong strides since the issuance of the National Digital Transformation Program in 2020 and has been especially drastic since the establishment of the National Committee on Digital Transformation chaired by the Prime Minister in 2021.

This year, the Government has had a direct dialogue with those who do digital transformation at the end of the line, which are members of the community digital technology group. The Prime Minister gave a directive speech on digital transformation in the new era, the era of the Vietnamese people's rise./.
