Over the past time, the city had implemented many activities and programs related to science and technology, but the results had not reached the set goals. Bien Hoa had more than 1.2 million people but its area was small, if science and technology and digital transformation were not applied to management, the city would be lagged behind, especially in administrative reform and digitalization works.

Currently, urban infrastructure management software has been implemented for a long time, but how do people know, use, and click on the software to know the status of their lands, whether they are built or faced with planning problems. Regarding environmental management, the City has recently implemented waste separation at sources, but the implementation process is still inadequate. Traffic safety, food safety, business management still being limited, need to be applied more technology to do better.
