In the process of constructing a digital government, a digital economy, and a digital society, Hue City has gradually established a synchronized and modern digital infrastructure foundation. Nevertheless, realizing the goal of becoming a fully digital city requires not only strong commitment from local authorities but also the active participation of technology enterprises in infrastructure investment, solution deployment, and the sharing of hands-on experience.

Hue City is entering a new stage of development with the goal of becoming a major regional hub for science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation in Central Vietnam. To realize this strategy, intellectuals, scientists, experts, and traditional local knowledge are regarded as a key force contributing to Hue’s sustainable growth.

The 2021-2025 period can be regarded as one of the most extraordinary stages in the development history of Hue City. This was not merely a term of socio-economic development following a conventional trajectory, but rather a period of “running while lining up”: simultaneously coping with unprecedented shocks from the COVID-19 pandemic and global instability, while concentrating resources to realize the strategic goal of becoming a centrally governed municipality.

Following the Hung Kings’ Commemoration Day, Hue continues to see a surge in visitors during the April 30 - May 1 holiday, with occupancy rates at many accommodation establishments are near full capacity. The influx has pushed the tourism sector and businesses to ramp up efforts to ensure both service quality and flexible management of operations, heading to the goals of enhancing visitor experiences and reaching industry development.

For many years, the development of waterway tourism has been a consistent goal, as the potential of Hue's rivers remained largely untapped. Following the City People's Committee's announcement of the inland waterway route on the Ngu Ha River, along with the pilot launch of heritage-linked tourism routes using electric boats on the Huong River and its tributaries, the local waterway tourism is expected to be unlocked.

For the 2026 - 2030 period, Hue has set a target of achieving an average annual GRDP growth rate of 10% or higher. To reach this goal, the city must define and plan key drivers capable of enabling rapid and sustainable development.

This goal was set out at the conference reviewing the training of Lao international students for the 2024-2025 academic year and outlining tasks for the 2025-2026 academic year, held by Hue College on the afternoon of December 23.

International cooperation programs in the health sector have brought practical benefits to Hue City, achieving “three goals with one action”: creating opportunities for medical staff to improve their skills; helping thousands of patients access advanced treatment techniques; and strengthening the reputation of medical institutions.

On October 21, an International Workshop on the framework for green, low-emission urban development towards the NetZero goal was held in Hue City.

With “key players” like Hue Textile and Garment, Scavi, Kim Long Motor, and many other enterprises, Hue is getting closer to its goal of becoming a new export hub in the Central region.
