This week, our team was conducting a discovery mission in Vietnam as part of the World Bank’s Vietnam Digital Infrastructure Assessment.
The team conducted number of stakeholder meetings in Hanoi and also visited remote part of the country in Lang Son province, in the country’s Northeastern part to assess spots of non-connectivity.
The visit was very informative to understand how the current digital infrastructure (international subsea and cross border connectivity as well as national infrastructure) could be upgraded to more resilient levels to be able to cope with the increased number of typhoons and floodings.
We are also looking at understanding the investment needs to achieve the government targets of 100% fibre availability and 99% 5G coverage by 2030.
We are proud to contribute to a project that supports creating more resilient and inclusive digital infrastructure helping Vietnamese people thrive and become regional digital showcase.
