The department’s commitment to advancing GIS is aligned with Vietnam’s broader digital transformation goals. A government-approved strategy for the surveying and mapping sector outlines a vision for utilising cutting-edge technologies like cloud computing, artificial intelligence and big data analytics to build a national geospatial data infrastructure.

The annual Esri User Conference brought together GIS professionals from around the world to share knowledge and best practices. It attracts tens of thousands of participants from over 130 countries each year.
