The project “Digitalisation and Innovation for Environment and Climate Protection: Twin Transition Hub” (TTH) is a bilateral project jointly implemented by the Vietnamese Ministry of Finance and the German Development Agency (GIZ) on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development. The TTH aims to support Vietnamese small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to embark on a transformative journey toward a digital and sustainable future. By fostering this transition, the TTH aims to contribute significantly to the broader objectives of Vietnam’s digital economy and green growth strategy. This initiative aligns with National Digital Transformation Program, Strategy for sustainable agricultural and rural development for the period 2021 – 2030, and National environmental protection strategy to 2030. Through this collaborative effort, the TTH seeks not only to enhance the competitiveness and resilience of SMEs but also to play a pivotal role in shaping a more sustainable and technologically advanced economic landscape. By facilitating the adoption of digital tools and green practices, the TTH aspires to support SMEs in reducing their carbon footprint, improving resource efficiency, and driving long-term economic growth that is both environmentally responsible and aligned with global sustainability standards.
