Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Truong Son requested that the Department of Science and Technology coordinate with relevant departments, sectors, and units to review and finalize plans for organizing activities at the festival, ensuring both quality and practicality. He also stressed the importance of aligning the number and composition of participating businesses and units at the digital technology exhibition, with a focus on connectivity and ensuring an effective, visually appealing display space.

For seminars and thematic conferences, it is essential to ensure the participation of representatives from relevant localities, departments, sectors, businesses, and schools, aligned with each topic and area of focus, in order to maximize the information and objectives the events are intended to achieve. Priority should be given to fostering business connections to promote the digital economy, bridging the gap between technology supply and demand, and emphasizing communication and hands-on digital technology experiences for the public and young people taking part in activities and programs at the event.
