On Jun 14 2018 a major conference, Blockchain Forum, was spear-headed by the Ministry of Science and Technology with VnExpress in Hanoi. This marked a major foray into the blockchain ecosystem as the Ministry of Science and Technology announced their plans to utilize Blockchain to help develop an e-governance program for all of Vietnam.

NEM was invited to participate and share their thoughts with various officials and community leaders. This event saw invitations extended to MIGHT’s Mastura Ishak, (Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology), come share her thoughts from Malaysia’s regulators. As well as representatives from Malta Technology sector as well.

Electronic governance or e-governance is the application of information and communication technology (ICT) for delivering government services, exchange of information, communication transactions, integration of various stand-alone systems and services between government-to-citizen (G2C), government-to-business (G2B), government-to-government (G2G), government-to-employees (G2E) as well as back office processes and interactions within the entire government framework. Through e-governance, government services will be made available to citizens in a convenient, efficient, and transparent manner. The three main target groups that can be distinguished in governance concepts are government, citizens, and businesses/interest groups. In e-governance there are no distinct boundaries.

Generally four basic models are available — government-to-citizen (customer), government-to-employees, government-to-government and government-to-business.
