(2008-2011):
- The IT market will continue to grow at a high rate over the next three years. It will continue to
be the Government’s priority for future development. The total expenditure on IT in Vietnam,
both on hardware and software, will also continue to increase. There will be a broader
application of IT in terms of industry and location, and a deeper adoption of newer
technologies.
- There will be greater awareness of IT, not only due to the promotion of widespread computer
use but also through support for the use and protection of copyright, know-how, innovations
and the advantages of intranets and the Internet.
- Government agencies and policy makers will further their trust in VAIP and expect the
association to provide opinion, feedback and contributions to the formulation of policies and
programs that affect the IT industry, not only in Hanoi and HCMC area, but across the country
against a background of increasing international and regional integration.
- VAIP partners and members will demand more professional and competitive services from the
association in its trade promotion activities, such as the organization of exhibitions and
seminars. If it meets that requirement, VAIP will not only be able to sustain its revenue but
will also improve its position and open up more opportunities for both the association and its
members.
- Individual and corporate VAIP members, including international members, will require more
attention to their specific needs. They will also demand better-quality and more professional
services from VAIP. VAIP is asked to satisfy these demands to sustain the confidence and
support from its members.
- VAIP members, especially well-established enterprises, will face greater opportunities and
challenges as they export and sub-contract their products or services. VAIP’s members will
expect the association to act as a business bridge by networking, introducing and matching
them with

IT market. They will wish to join VAIP in order to learn from their predecessors and peers, and
to look for opportunities to cooperate with or provide services to other members.
International organizations, trade promotion offices, and international associations concerning
IT field will be increasingly interested in working with organizations such as VAIP to foster
business cooperation.
Vietnamese overseas organizations, experts and families also have concerns in exchanging
information, providing experiences, knowledge, and in introducing appropriate programs or
projects to activities of VAIP and local.

products and services and to protect their interests. On the other hand, the media will also look
to build a trustworthy, open and supportive relationship with the VAIP.
