According to the MoU, Viettel will help Bac Giang build synchronous, modern and safe telecoms and IT infrastructure to serve e-government development, digital transformation and smart urban building.

After studying Bac Giang’s potential, the group will invest in the areas that are of the province’s strength and demand, and introduce telecoms and IT partners to the locality, with industry, and telecoms and IT services to be prioritised. 

Certain smart urban area and e-government models are expected to be put into operation during the 2021-2022 period.
