From the application of information technology to digital transformation, Ho Chi Minh City has come a long way. However, in this process, the "digital" part, that is, technology infrastructure, is often focused on while the "conversion" part, that is, applying new models, new business forms, has not received due attention," Mr. Thanh Hoa shared.

Blockchain Association of Ho Chi Minh City launches solutions to combat counterfeit goods
Also at the event, Ms. Le Nguyen Tra My, representative of the Blockchain Association of Ho Chi Minh City, shared digital transformation solutions in the field of intellectual property, with the goal of turning intelligence into assets, creating motivation for Ho Chi Minh City to make a breakthrough in the context of merger.
In 2024, Vietnam processed more than 140,000 industrial property registrations, but the commercialization rate was only about 0.1%, 50 times lower than the world average and 100 times lower than developed countries.
The main reason is the lack of a specialized, transparent platform for intellectual property transactions and a standardized valuation mechanism, making it difficult for inventions and ideas to access the market and promote economic value.
According to Ms. My, the block chain is the key to not only managing intellectual property well but also turning it into a real driving force for the economy.
The Blockchain Association of Ho Chi Minh City has consulted on the application of block chain technology to establish "digital birth certificates" representing the right to own a certain type of property, including intellectual property rights. In particular, this "paper" is stored on a block chain, so it is completely un forged.
From there, the block chain proposes 3 development directions for digital transformation:
- Identify the real product and trace the origin. This solution not only responds to the National Digital Transformation Program under Decision 749, but also directly contributes to the implementation of Project 100 of the Prime Minister on building a national product traceability system.
- Build a transparent and effective "Idea Market", turning research results into assets for transactions.
- Smart management, supporting mergers. Block chain technology allows the creation of an interconnected and unchanged database where all patent and trademark records are stored securely, transparently and can be viewed instantly. This is an effective tool to ensure that intellectual property is managed smoothly and effectively in the context of city mergers.
