A software industrial park invested by Vietnam’s Vingroup will be built in Hanoi soon, Chung noted, asking Microsoft to cooperate in making the park an innovation technology zone. He pledged that the local administration will provide the best possible conditions for the development of information technology.
Mr. Stefan Sjoestroem expressed his impression on Hanoi's IT achievements, and highly appreciated ideas and solutions of Hanoi that is implementing e-government. He also asserted that security in IT applications is very important. "Microsoft spent $50 billion researching and developing the safest security programs," said Stefan Sjoestroem. Microsoft has set out goals and programs to support Hanoi in training security and technology.
According to Stefan Sjoestroem, in today's world skills and human resources on security are rare. Therefore, this is an opportunity to build Hanoi into a source of human resources for the security sector. Because software development personnel in Vietnam is the best in the world and if there is proper investment in the field, Vietnam can share human resources for the world.
