The above information was announced by Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Nguyen Van Duoc at the Conference to summarize the work in 2025 and deploy key tasks and solutions in 2026 to implement Resolution 57 of the Politburo, Project 204 of the Secretariat and Project 06 of the Government. The conference was organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee on January 14.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc, Ho Chi Minh City is gradually operating an urban area based on data and digital technology in many key areas such as transportation, healthcare, security and order.

In addition to the AI camera system that regulates traffic, the city has achieved many outstanding results in digital transformation.

99% of hospitals in the area have deployed electronic medical records; more than 3.1 million people's health records are integrated on the VNeID platform. Applications such as SOS Security, Help 114 help shorten the time to receive and process people's reports to only 1 - 2 minutes.

In 2025, Ho Chi Minh City's digital economy is estimated to account for about 25% of GRDP. 100% of enterprises carry out procedures on taxes, customs and electronic invoices. Over 90% of the adult population owns a smartphone and has an electronic payment account; the Digital Citizen application has reached 650,000 downloads.

The city also focuses on digital skills training for people and the team of cadres, civil servants, and public employees (CBCCVC). Over the past year, Ho Chi Minh City has organized training on digital transformation and AI for more than 40,000 employees, contributing to changing the thinking and working habits in the digital environment.

For Project 204, Ho Chi Minh City has completed the "15 days and nights" campaign to clean up and standardize party member data, 10 days ahead of schedule compared to the Central Government's requirements. To date, 90% of Party members working at Party organizations across the city have installed and used software to study resolutions and monthly Party cell activities.

With Project 06, Ho Chi Minh City is the pioneer locality to close the City Public Service Portal from June 18, 2025 to completely merge to the National Public Service Portal from June 19, 2025. The city is also the first unit selected by the Ministry of Public Security to pilot 5 essential public services and synchronize shared data to the National Data Center.

Notably, the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee said that on January 15, the city will announce the Northern Science - Technology Urban Project, located in Binh Duong area.

This is expected to attract leading domestic and international scientists, forming a new growth pole for Ho Chi Minh City and the key economic region in the South.

According to the development orientation, Ho Chi Minh City will develop according to a multipolar, multi- focus model, in which the areas of Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau will be important growth poles, closely connected in terms of infrastructure, economy and technology.

Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc emphasized that in the coming time, the city needs to continue to improve capacity and awareness of science and technology in leadership and direction, taking people and businesses as the center, data as the foundation.

In 2025, Ho Chi Minh City has achieved many impressive indicators in administrative reform: Announcing 100% of administrative procedures regardless of administrative boundaries; cutting and simplifying procedures issued by localities to 36.36% (exceeding the target assigned by the Central Government by 30%); approving 1,636 full-process online public services (reaching 80.1%).
