The Law on Digital Technology Industry, numbered 71/2025/QH15 and commonly abbreviated as the DTIL, represents a landmark legislative achievement for Vietnam, having been formally adopted by the National Assembly on June 14, 2025. This comprehensive statute establishes a dedicated legal framework to foster the growth of the digital technology industry (DTI), alongside pivotal sectors such as the semiconductor industry (SI), artificial intelligence (AI), and digital assets (DA). By delineating the rights, obligations, and supporting mechanisms for relevant governmental bodies, enterprises, and individuals, the DTIL seeks to position Vietnam competitively in the global digital economy. While select provisions, specifically Articles 11, 28, and 29, sprang into effect as early as July 1, 2025, the bulk of the law’s mandates will commence on January 1, 2026, providing a measured runway for stakeholders to align their operations and investments accordingly. At its core, the DTIL is a proactive blueprint designed to nurture innovation, attract foreign and domestic capital, and build human capital, with a particular emphasis on preferential policies that could prove transformative for businesses eyeing opportunities in these nascent yet high-potential fields.  This article provides an overview of the DTIL.
