At the Tech4Life 2024 Conference, Mr. Nguyen The Phuong, an expert from FPT Digital, emphasized the importance of Digital-Green transformation in fostering sustainable development for businesses. With strong leadership commitment and the integration of comprehensive strategies, businesses can not only minimize their environmental impact but also enhance their competitive edge and unlock breakthrough business opportunities. The support from financial, legal, training, and strategic collaboration policies will be crucial in accelerating this progress.
As part of the series of events commemorating National Digital Transformation Day, the Tech4Life 2024 Exhibition and Conference kicked off on September 12th, 2024 with the theme “Technology Elevating Life.” During the event, Mr. Nguyen The Phuong, consultant at FPT Digital, highlighted the significance of Digital-Green transformation in promoting sustainable economic development.
Digital-Green Transformation: An opportunity for breakthrough growth
Mr. Nguyen The Phuong underscored that Digital-Green transformation is not only an inevitable trend but also a lever for businesses to achieve breakthrough growth. Success can only be attained through strong leadership commitment with a clear vision about the benefits of adopting digital technologies and sustainable solutions. Leaders must be willing to invest both financial and human resources to incorporate these initiatives into their overall development strategy, aiming to optimize energy use and reduce environmental impact.
Digital-Green transformation not only helps businesses cut operational costs but also opens up new business opportunities. From creating innovative products and services to improving internal processes, businesses can enhance their competitiveness, attract new customers and partners, and strengthen relationships with stakeholders. This serves as a powerful driving force for sustainable growth when businesses strategically integrate digital transformation and green solutions.
Key Factors Driving Digital-Green Transformation
According to Mr.Nguyen The Phuong, for Digital-Green transformation to become a reality, businesses must rely on four critical factors: supportive policies, financial mechanisms, training, and strategic partnerships. The combination of these four elements will serve as the “breakthrough point” to accelerate the adoption of Digital-Green transformation within enterprises.
Firstly, financial incentives such as preferential loan support and investment funding for digitization and green projects play a crucial role. Tax reduction policies for businesses investing in green technology and digital transformation are also essential measures to encourage this process.
Secondly, a clear legal framework and national standards for energy, emissions, and clean technology are needed. This helps businesses orient and comply with sustainable development regulations.
Thirdly, businesses need to invest in training and raising awareness among both leadership and employees about the benefits of Digital-Green transformation. Training and communication programs play an important role in preparing the human resources necessary for this process.
Lastly, international cooperation and building networks among businesses help share knowledge, technology, and jointly develop projects. Investing in research and development (R&D) of new technological solutions such as AI, Big Data, IoT, and renewable energy will be key to driving innovation in Digital-Green transformation.
Mr.Nguyen The Phuong emphasized that close collaboration between the government and businesses is a crucial factor in creating a conducive environment, thereby realizing sustainability goals and bringing businesses closer to the Net-Zero target by 2050.
