According to the report of the Department of Science and Technology of Lam Dong province, after the two-level authorities came into operation from July 1, Lam Dong has synchronously deployed decrees, issued many documents, clearly assigned responsibilities, and mobilized human resources for information technology to serve digital transformation. The province has opened 19 online training courses for more than 11,000 students on handling administrative procedures and managing executive documents; 6 classes on artificial intelligence for 4,100 cadres and party members.
To date, the locality has issued 12,565 digital service signatures, operated an IOC Smart Operation Center, deployed the VNeID application in healthcare, tax, accommodation, and transportation; promoted the digitalization of civil status, land, social security, and education data.

The province has also submitted to the Ministry of Science and Technology for appraisal the Project to establish Binh Thuan High-Tech Park, expected to become a center for attracting investment, research and innovation.

Duc Trong commune alone has processed 3,145 records, the rate of overdue payment reached 98.6%.
