In recent years, Vietnam has captured the attention of the information and communication technology (ICT) industry, demonstrating solid growth and future potential. Yet Vietnam faces a number of complex challenges that hamper ICT growth and which could become serious obstacles for U.S. companies doing business in Vietnam’s ICT sector. These challenges include infrastructure development, network security, skills and training, software piracy, electronic commerce, and government procurement. This paper discusses these challenges in detail and makes suggestions as to how both Vietnam and the United States stand to gain from bilateral engagement on them.
