Digital Transformation Day kick-started

Deputy Chairman of the Ha Noi People's Committee Ha Minh Hai urged members of the community digital transformation teams to mentor locals in using services and applications to promote a digital economy and society.

In celebration of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the capital, the city introduced the "Three Readiness" initiative, including readiness to use smartphones, connect to the Internet and install the iHanoi app; readiness for digital identification and bank account registration; and readiness to acquire technology skills, ensure information security and promote online culture. The initiative also emphasizes a commitment to lifelong learning and innovation, Hai said.

The Deputy Chairman reported that over the past two years, the city has made significant progress in its digital transformation efforts.

The implementation of digital governance has been robust, with 100 percent of eligible public services now available online in stages three and four. This initiative has enabled residents and businesses to access public services quickly and transparently through the online service system, with over 2.5 million online applications successfully processed.

Ha Noi also successfully piloted electronic health records and issued criminal record certificates through the VneID platform, laying the groundwork for nationwide implementation by the government.

In addition, cashless social security and pension payments have been effectively rolled out, reaching over 90 percent penetration, according to the report.

Nearly 5,000 technology firms are active in Ha Noi's digital economy, with e-commerce revenue increasing by 40 percent compared to 2023.

Over 90 percent of large enterprises have adopted cashless payment, improving efficiency, while electronic tax filing and payment compliance has reached 99 percent.

On the social front, nearly 5,000 community digital transformation teams with more than 30,000 members are actively working to integrate digital solutions into every neighborhood and bring digital services directly to residents.

With over 60 percent of the working-age population having received basic digital literacy training, a solid foundation has been laid for the development of an intelligent digital citizenry.

"Ha Noi is prioritizing the application of digital technology to urgent issues to directly benefit residents," the Deputy Chairman emphasized./.
