Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

Ericsson is supporting the Government of Vietnam to help accelerate the adoption of Industry 4.0 and help it capture its industry sector’s next wave of growth, enabled by 5G and IoT.

The agreement will help transform industries including manufacturing, agriculture, transport and energy. The agreement also supports the government’s vision of leveraging science, technology and innovation to drive the next wave of socioeconomic development in the country, the company said.

At a ceremony held at Ericsson’s headquarters on 28 May, Vietnam’s Prime Minister, Nguyen Xuan Phuc, and a delegation of Vietnam Government dignitaries met with Ericsson president and CEO, Borje Ekholm, and Head of Ericsson Vietnam and Myanmar, Denis Brunetti, to sign a series of strategic agreements to expand Industry 4.0 in Vietnam.

The ‘Industry 4.0 & IoT Innovation Cooperation Agreement’ between Ericsson and the state-owned, VNPT Group will expand IoT functionalities across the operator’s mobile network by leveraging Ericsson’s IoT mobile functionality and VNPT’s IoT ecosystem. These functionalities will make it possible to provide new digital services to VNPT’s consumer and enterprise customers as well as support e-government initiatives.

In April, Ericsson and Vietnam’s Ministry of Science & Technology launched the country’s first IoT innovation hub that supports start-ups and promotes entrepreneurship. It also serves as a learning and education platform as well as a research and development platform focusing on accelerating Vietnam’s advancement in IoT.
