The program not only aims to raise the digital capabilities of residents and businesses but also creates momentum for sustainable digital economy development. The city’s targets by 2026 are to achieve a minimum 90% satisfaction rate among residents and businesses when using online public services.

With these efforts, the city is moving toward a future where digital technology is not only a supporting tool but also a primary driver of economic and social development.
