Seizing the Smart Mobility Era: Opportunities for the Next Generation of Operations Talent

Vietnam is entering a major phase of large-scale transportation infrastructure development under its national strategy. This includes simultaneous implementation of projects such as the North–South high-speed railway (approximately 1,541 km in length, with an estimated investment of over USD 67 billion, expected to break ground by the end of 2026), the expansion of metro and urban railway networks in Ho Chi Minh City (targeting 6 lines totaling around 187 km by 2030) and Hanoi, as well as the development of an integrated multimodal transport system connecting road, rail, inland waterways, maritime, and aviation. The government also aims to complete the national railway network by 2030, with a vision to 2045, focusing on shifting from road transport to higher-capacity modes to enhance overall economic efficiency (Politburo, 2023). Clearly, a new mobility ecosystem is taking shape—one where all modes of transport are interconnected, optimized, and operated in real time.
