On June 3, 2020, the Prime Minister promulgated Decision No. 749/QD-TTg approving the National Digital Transformation Program to 2025, with a vision to 2030, which clearly outlines the vision to 2030 of “Vietnam will become a digital, stable and prosperous country and pioneer in testing new technologies and models; fundamentally and comprehensively reform management and administration of the Government, manufacturing and business activities of enterprises, and ways of living and working of people, and develop a safe, humane, and universal digital environment”.

With its ongoing effort to realize the goal of supporting business development in the digital economy, since 2017, the Center for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) under the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), in the framework of the Meta Boost Program collaborated with Meta Group, has organized hundreds of training courses and forums for tens of thousands of SMEs across the country to equip them with knowledge and skills to apply online communication tools in business to reach customers effectively and efficiently, advise businesses to seize opportunities to enhance competitiveness and business development in the digital economy. The Program aims to inspire and further support businesses to make great progress and access untapped opportunities and potential brought by the digital economy to boost strong economic growth.

In Southeast Asia, the value of Vietnam's digital economy, including e-commerce, has grown quite strongly since 2020. To extend this growth momentum and focus on supporting SMEs to use online platforms for development, VCCI cooperated with Meta Group to build an eBook on 100 SMEs in tea, coffee, agricultural and aquatic sectors that use digital tools to contact domestic and foreign customers. The eBook is featured their business stories, products and online communication efforts.

This eBook is a useful source of information for people seeking to buy products and find partners and customers. This is the recognition and encouragement of SMEs that go digital and use online communication; a helping tool for policymakers and SME support agencies to see their positive transformation and know how digital platforms help them reach customers across the country, from big cities to remote and isolated areas.
