PM attends Industry 4.0 Summit and Expo 2018
Friday, July 13,2018AsemconnectVietnam - Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc attended the opening ceremony for the Industry 4.0 Summit and Expo 2018 in Hanoi on July 13.
Themed “Vision and Development Strategy in the Fourth Industrial Revolution”, the event saw Government officials and nearly 1,800 representatives from localities, domestic and foreign experts, businesses and embassies in attendance.
Head of the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission Nguyen Van Binh, who co-chaired the event with the Prime Minister, stressed the opportunities brought by Industry 4.0, which helps improve technology and production capacities as well as competitive edge in the global value chain.
However, an irrational approach will make Vietnam lag behind regional countries in terms of technology, and face redundancy of unskilled labourers, and inequality in society, he said, adding that soft power, cyber space security and trans-boundary cyber-crimes are other challenges that need to be tackled.
