CASTA: A Bridge Bringing Science, Technology, and Digital Transformation Closer to Localities
In the context of digital transformation becoming an important driver of socio-economic development, the Can Tho Center for Application of Scientific and Technological Advances (CASTA) is promoting its role as a unit for applying, connecting, and transferring science and technology, actively accompanying wards and communes across the city in surveying practical needs, connecting resources, and accessing appropriate digital transformation solutions.
Recently, CASTA has carried out many direct working sessions with localities such as Thanh Phu Commune, Truong Thanh Commune, Nhu Gia Commune, Dong Hiep Commune, Tan An Ward, and other units to understand their needs for applying science and technology in management, administration, and socio-economic development.
Through surveys, professional exchanges, and connections with technology enterprises, CASTA has developed step-by-step plans to support localities in accessing solutions for digital government, digital economy, digital society, digital education, traceability, data management, and technology platforms serving citizens.
CASTA not only introduces solutions but also acts as a bridge between localities and experts, enterprises, and science and technology organizations, contributing to the selection of models appropriate to each locality's conditions, resources, and development orientation.
In Can Tho City's strategy for science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation, the role of intermediary organizations is increasingly emphasized. With the advantage of being a unit under the science and technology sector, CASTA is gradually affirming its position as a bridge that brings scientific and technological achievements closer to grassroots authorities, enterprises, and citizens.
With the motto of placing practical needs at the center, CASTA will continue to accompany localities in connecting science and technology resources and promoting the application of innovation and digital transformation solutions in practice. This will contribute to building digital government, developing the digital economy, and improving the quality of life for people across Can Tho City.
