Attending and speaking at the opening ceremony, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Pham Hong Hai affirmed: “Internet of Things (IoT) technology has the ability to connect objects and people in the real world, mapping those links into a virtual world to enhance the ability to monitor, control, and optimize the operations of businesses and organizations. It is expected that IoT will become an important growth engine that can reshape the socio-economic life in the future. The power of connection should be compared with not arithmetic progression but geometric progression".
