Vietnam ICT Service Conference 2024: Bridging the Talent Gap and Driving Innovation

Vietnam and Hong Kong ICT Partnership to Foster Strong Industry Collaboration

HONG KONG, Sept. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Vietnam ICT Service Conference 2024, organized by Vietnam ICT Alliance, will take place at Inno Centre, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong on September 24^th - 25^th, 2024. This event aims to strengthen industry collaboration and drive innovation by bringing together leading technology firms from Vietnam and major players in Hong Kong's ICT sector, addressing the critical talent shortage in Hong Kong's rapidly growing tech industry. 

The Hong Kong Software Industry Association Limited (HKSIA) reports that Hong Kong's tech industry has been developing rapidly recently, fueled by government investments expected to reach US$31.2 billion by 2023 and an increasing demand for digital solutions. Despite this growth, the Talent Shortage Survey 2023 highlights a significant challenge: 74% of local enterprises are struggling to fill essential roles due to a severe talent shortage. In contrast, Vietnam, which produces approximately 57,000 IT graduates annually from 153 institutions, is emerging as a top destination for ICT talent. According to Kearney's Global Services Location Index™ (GSLI), Vietnam ranks a strong 7th in Asia, making it an ideal partner to help bridge the talent gap in Hong Kong.

By facilitating partnerships between Vietnamese and Hong Kong companies, the Vietnam ICT Service Conference 2024 aims to create a dynamic exchange of expertise, resources, and innovative solutions, ultimately benefiting the ICT sectors of both regions.

A space for networking and knowledge exchange

The Vietnam ICT Service Conference 2024 offers a unique opportunity for networking and knowledge exchange, with participation from over 200 companies. This event promises to be a key gathering of high-level executives, managers, and industry experts from across the ICT sector.

By joining this conference, participants can expand their professional networks, explore new business opportunities, and stay at the forefront of technological advancements, positioning themselves for future success in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
