Delegates listened to Dr. Le Doan Hop - former Minister of Information and Communications give a talk on the basic characteristics of the 4.0 industrial revolution, some impacts of this revolution on Vietnam's socio-economy and its application in practical leadership, management and implementation.
Regarding the characteristics of the revolution, Dr. Le Doan Hop emphasized that the 4th Industrial Revolution, which began in 2000, has an unprecedented scale and speed of development in human history, focusing on digitalization, combining real and virtual systems, narrowing the boundary between the service sector, agriculture and industry.
Technological breakthroughs take place in many fields that interact and promote each other such as information technology, nanotechnology... These have a strong and comprehensive impact on the contemporary world in the fields of consumption, production and prices.
Before the 4th Industrial Revolution, Vietnam developed thanks to its geo-economic advantages (the connecting point of Northeast Asia with Southeast Asia) and a relatively young and abundant labor force, participating in many global value chains in the assembly stage, becoming a new factory of the global economy. If it goes in the right direction and catches up with the right rhythm, the 4th Industrial Revolution creates opportunities for Vietnam to shorten the development gap, but if it goes the opposite way, Vietnam will fall further behind.
According to Mr. Le Doan Hop, Vietnam as well as localities in particular need to continue to solve remaining economic, social and environmental issues from the previous period of hot growth, quickly take advantage of opportunities and overcome new challenges arising from the 4th Industrial Revolution.
These are not new things, but for the first time they have been systematized in a logical and scientific way, along with vivid practical connections, helping the core staff of Thanh Chuong district understand more about the 4.0 industrial stage and their responsibilities in applying scientific and technological advances to practical work, contributing to the common development./.
