After one year of implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW and the digital transformation project within Party agencies under Decision No. 204-QD/TW of the Secretariat, Lam Dong’s science, technology, innovation and digital transformation efforts have achieved several significant results.

Party committees, Party organizations, and leaders have shown growing awareness of and responsibility for digital transformation. It has been identified as a key political task tied to administrative reform and the modernization of working methods within Party agencies.

Digital transformation tasks have been implemented comprehensively across several pillars, including institutional improvement, organizational restructuring, digital infrastructure investment, the development of shared digital platforms and information systems, document digitization, and information security.

The leadership and management approach of Party agencies is gradually shifting toward data-driven management and electronic processes.

In the field of science, technology and innovation, Lam Dong issued a plan in 2025 to develop a technology innovation roadmap for key economic sectors through 2035, focusing on high-tech agriculture, processing industries, renewable energy and high-quality tourism.

Research and technology transfer activities have been strengthened with 75 S&T tasks at various levels, focusing on the application of technology in smart agriculture, agricultural product processing, environmental protection, product traceability, and the development of local specialty products.

The province’s innovation and startup ecosystem has continued to grow with the participation of management agencies, research institutes, universities and businesses.

Currently, Lam Dong has 14 science and technology enterprises and 13 high-tech agricultural enterprises, along with several startup support centers. During the year, the province recognized 16 startup ideas and projects.

Digital infrastructure has also continued to expand. The province now has more than 11,500 mobile base transceiver stations, with the number of 5G stations increasing rapidly. Mobile broadband covers all residential areas, while the household fiber-optic internet penetration rate has reached about 99%.

The province will promote the application of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and big data in key economic sectors, while developing the startup ecosystem and strengthening cooperation among the government, educational institutions and businesses.
