Hanoi launches digital transformation market and technology trading floor

These two models are put into operation at the 258 Vo Chi Cong Complex, combined with a document transfer and receipt system, forming three key components in implementing the Capital’s science, technology and digital transformation policies.

In particular, Hanoi Technology Exchange (HanoTEX) is the central infrastructure for connection, trading and technology transfer of the city. Here, the results of scientific research, technology and innovation are listed, introduced, evaluated, tested and connect supply and demand towards commercialization.

Digital transformation market (DTMarket) is an in-depth component of Hanoi Technology Exchange. This is the place to connect supply and demand for digital transformation solutions, products and services. Through the market, agencies, localities and businesses can access, select, test and deploy solutions suitable to practical needs. The notable point of the model is its approach towards ordering specific problems, while evaluating effectiveness based on output results.

The third component put into operation is the online document transfer and receipt system between organizations, businesses and agencies under the Hanoi People’s Committee. The system aims to standardize and digitize the coordination process, shorten processing time, increase transparency and efficiency in state management activities, and improve the electronic working environment in the Capital.

On this occasion, Hanoi organized a technology display and demonstration space on the first floor of Hanoi Technology Exchange, with the participation of more than 20 technology businesses. Businesses will introduce digital transformation products and solutions in many fields such as state management and digital government, smart cities, manufacturing, business, education, health, and society.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Truong Viet Dung, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People’s Committee, affirmed “Hanoi is transforming digitally to develop the digital economy, not because of the movement”. According to him, digital transformation markets and technology exchanges are not places to demonstrate technology, but to force technology to create economic value.

“Hanoi said and did it. Do it now, do it right, do it effectively and do it to the end,” he said. “2026 is determined to be a pivotal year, the most important and pivotal year for Hanoi to move from preparation to action, from pilot to actual implementation.”

According to Mr. Cu Ngoc Trang, Director of the Hanoi Department of Science and Technology, the biggest challenge no longer lies in creating technology, but in organizing the market so that technology comes to life and creates real value. In the world, leading innovation centers show a very clear trend: The government does not stop at promulgating policies, but gradually organizes the market for operating technology. That is the driving force behind the formation of HanoTEX and DTMarket.

Meanwhile, a representative of BVA, the implementing unit, said it will operate the model under control and gradually improve it based on evaluating actual results. Through the formation and operation of a technology exchange and digital transformation market, Hanoi aims to build a modern technology trading infrastructure, creating a foundation for sustainable development.
