The Cyber Connect 2025 event, initiated by the State Audit Office (SAO), brought together over 20 organizations and more than 500 delegates, athletes, and guests from the technology communities of various Ministries and Departments. Under the theme “Connecting Intelligence – Spreading Technology – Uniting the Digital Community,” Cyber Connect 2025 aimed to foster networking, solidarity, and promote physical fitness and creativity within the tech community.
Addressing the event, the Deputy Auditor General emphasized that Cyber Connect 2025 holds special significance as the nation intensifies its efforts to implement the motto “Breakthrough in Science, Technology, Innovation, and Digital Transformation” as outlined in Resolution 57-NQ/TW by the Politburo. The State Audit Office, tasked with ensuring transparency and accountability in public finance, must lead by example in adopting technology, driving digital transformation, and nurturing a robust tech community within its own system and beyond.
According to SAO leadership, Cyber Connect 2025 serves not only as a platform for connection, creativity, and knowledge-sharing but also as a stepping stone toward building an inter-sectoral, united, and pioneering IT community within the national digital ecosystem.
The Deputy Auditor General praised the initiative behind Cyber Connect 2025 and expressed hope that, following its successful debut, it will become an annual event with greater scale, more technological content, and alignment with global trends. The State Audit Office is committed to supporting and expanding this platform to ensure the public sector’s tech community remains cohesive, innovative, and dynamic.
