Mr. Hoang Vinh Truong - Deputy Director of the Center for Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion of Nghe An province emphasized: Nghe An is in the process of implementing digital transformation programs. However, with nearly 13,000 operating enterprises, of which 95% of Nghe An enterprises are small and medium-sized, digital transformation is not easy. Difficulties and challenges are not only due to low capital and low quality of human resources, but also because business leaders are not ready. Many businesses are reluctant to digitally transform due to financial constraints and weaknesses in management. The apparatus still operates according to the old, cumbersome and complicated model, making digital transformation more difficult...

With the policy of always accompanying and creating favorable conditions for businesses to develop, especially in the face of current difficulties and challenges, in order to continue supporting businesses in the digital transformation process, the Center has advised the Provincial People's Committee to issue a Plan to support small and medium enterprises in Nghe An in 2022 with many programs to support digital transformation for businesses in 2022 according to Decree 80 of the Government.
