This initiative stands as a pivotal component of FPT’s strategy to bolster AI research and development, fostering the creation of AI applications and solutions with a specific focus on generative AI, autonomous driving, and green transformation for sustainability.
This fuels FPT’s vision of making Vietnam an AI hub and drives AI adoption across Asia, particularly in Vietnam, Japan, and Korea.

The AI Factory will offer cloud GPU services, enabling FPT’s corporate customers worldwide to access essential resources to enhance research capabilities, accelerate AI application development—particularly in Generative AI—and achieve breakthroughs in enhancing productivity and customer experience.

Simultaneously, it aids FPT in accelerating the construction and advancement of AI platforms and applications with enhanced value for customers across all industries.

As part of the collaboration, FPT has joined the NVIDIA Partner Network as a Service Delivery Partner and aspires to evolve into a Global Systems Integrator. This strategic move enables FPT to harness the full potential of NVIDIA’s cutting-edge products and technologies, facilitating the development of tailored cloud services, hardware, software, and, notably, generative AI solutions. Focusing on three key verticals—automotive, manufacturing, and banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI)—FPT will provide comprehensive generative AI services, enabling businesses to elevate productivity and automation to new heights. These integrations will bolster FPT’s AI Labs while also introducing fresh software frameworks.

Furthermore, FPT’s education group will collaborate to fortify the AI workforce by integrating NVIDIA’s programs into educational curricula and activities, training programs, and laboratory facilities at both university and high school levels. Their goal is to reach at least 30,000 students within the span of 5 years.

FPT also plans to collaborate with NVIDIA on opportunities to develop cloud gaming using NVIDIA GeForce NOW in Vietnam.

Dr. Truong Gia Binh, Chairman and Founder of FPT Corporation, stated during the signing ceremony: “FPT is committed to Digital transformation, AI, Cloud, and Education. FPT strives to enhance our R and D competence and establish a comprehensive platform for state-of-the-art products and services built on AI and Cloud that exceeds global demands, working to achieve its vision to turn Vietnam into an AI hub of the world through collaboration with NVIDIA in technology, business development, and training.”

Vice President of the Worldwide AI Initiative at NVIDIA, Keith Strier, stated: “By accelerating innovation in healthcare, agriculture, climate, manufacturing, and more, AI has the potential to improve lives and strengthen the economies of every nation. FPT is working with NVIDIA to empower organizations across Vietnam to drive transformation, helping the country become an AI nation.”
