HÀ NỘI — The 2026 Khánh Hòa Province Digital Technology Festival attracted a large number of visitors thanks to a variety of hands-on activities.

The three-day event ended on Monday and included conferences, thematic seminars and exhibitions, providing an opportunity for residents and businesses to engage with digital technology while fostering a spirit of innovation throughout the community.
