DIGIFEST Dong Nai 2026 will take place from October 30 to November 1 at the Dong Nai City Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Center in Tan Trieu Ward, under the theme “Digital Transformation and Innovation: From Policy to Practice - Creating New Growth Drivers for Dong Nai City.”

As part of the DIGIFEST Dong Nai 2026 event series, the Dong Nai City Youth Union held the opening ceremony for the Dong Nai Youth Space 2026 on the evening of October 30.

Amid the vast amount of information on social media, improving young people's ability to identify and filter information is essential to building ideological "immunity" and protecting them against distorted and false arguments in cyberspace.

Mastering digital space is one of the top priorities for the younger generation. To achieve this, young people have to foster a spirit of self-directed learning and actively embrace technology to equip themselves with sound knowledge, proper awareness, and keen insight. These capabilities will enable them to create employment opportunities, make breakthroughs in entrepreneurship, and strengthen their resilience to adapt to successive waves of technological advancement and digital transformation.

Vo Hoang Khai, Deputy Director of the Dong Nai Department of Science and Technology (DoST), chaired a meeting on October 26 with relevant departments, agencies and units to review preparations and organizational arrangements for DIGIFEST Dong Nai 2026.

Dong Nai City aims to make effective use of nuclear techniques and technology in industry, agriculture, healthcare, natural resource management, environmental protection, scientific research and other fields.

Dong Nai is rolling out the Quarter/Hamlet Management (DC4.0) platform and the Dong Nai Digital Citizen (Dong Nai City) application, offering a range of integrated services and tools to support residents.

Digital platforms are creating more opportunities for local authorities and residents to connect, from neighborhood Zalo and Facebook groups to digital citizen apps.

Science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation are becoming key drivers of socio-economic development. To enhance their effectiveness, active participation from businesses, educational institutions, experts, and the community is needed alongside the role played by state management agencies.

Dong Nai Department of Science and Technology, in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City-based Representative Office of the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Institute for Enterprise Development, held a seminar on October 23 on enhancing business competitiveness based on intellectual property assets and product traceability.

DIGIFEST Dong Nai 2026 will take place from October 30 to November 1 at the Dong Nai Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Center in Tan Trieu Ward. The event will be held under the theme “Digital Transformation and Innovation: From Policy to Practice - Creating New Growth Drivers for Dong Nai City.”

Cooperatives (co-ops) in Dong Nai City are stepping up the application of scientific and technological advances in production, helping save costs while improving productivity and product quality. In crop production, 44 co-ops have invested in water-saving irrigation technologies such as drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and subsurface irrigation, helping conserve water resources and reduce labor costs. In livestock farming, most co-ops have applied mechanization to animal feed processing, including grinding, mixing and chopping, as well as barn cleaning; the rate of application of livestock cooling systems has reached more than 50%.

According to the Dong Nai City Department of Science and Technology (DoST), as of the morning of October 20, more than 66,000 accounts had been activated on the online learning platform for the “Digital literacy for all” program for officials, civil servants, public employees and workers across the city.

Grassroots digital transformation involves more than investing in technological infrastructure, upgrading equipment, launching individual campaigns, or installing applications. More importantly, it is about helping residents change their awareness, develop digital skills, and gradually establish digital habits in daily life.

Amid the accelerating fourth industrial revolution, science and technology (S&T), innovation, and digital transformation are increasingly playing key roles in enhancing competitiveness, labor productivity, and the quality of economic growth.
