The central city of Da Nang is striving to become a hi-tech city by 2015 with IT human resource growth of 5-10 percent and the number of software businesses increasing by 30 percent.
These targets were revealed at a conference on Da Nang’s master plan for IT human resource development, held in the city on October 20.
The city has also set a target of earning around US$50 million per annum from software exports by 2015.
However, participants in the conference pointed out Da Nang’s shortcomings in IT human resource development, including lack of experienced IT experts and weak planning capacity.
They put foward objectives and strategies for the city’s IT human resource development, focusing on meeting the personnel demands of State agencies and businesses.
They insisted that the city firstly concentrate on developing the capacity of e-government and software technologies, as well as building an open IT system and strengthening standards, systems and networks.
In the 2010-2020 period, Da Nang should prioritise four major aspects to give its IT development a strong foundation, including e-service, e-government, strategic management of IT, and boosting the software industry, they said.
