Speaking at the opening of the workshop, Ms. Dang Thi Thuy Duong - Vice Chairman of the Business Association, Chairman of Thua Thien Hue Businesswoman Association - shared that over 90% of Vietnamese enterprises are small and medium businesses (SMBs), accounting for nearly half of the economic output and are the backbone of the Vietnamese economy. However, only one in five small and medium businesses has an online presence.
