Ho Chi Minh City launched its Data Portal (http://data.hochiminhcity.gov.vn) on June 18, 2024, making 111 datasets freely available. The city aims to unlock the potential of precious data source. These datasets cover 13 key areas like education, health, society, and the environment. This initiative allows individuals and organizations to explore and utilize this valuable information.
Ho Chi Minh City aims to have all administrative management work based on data and integrated into a digital platform by 2025. To achieve this, the city must build a data management system founded on processes, policies, and platforms. However, Director Lam Dinh Thang highlighted that the main challenge is the interconnection and sharing of data between ministries, branches, and different departments and localities within the city.
