FPT plans to invest USD 200 million in building an AI factory
that will serve as a sovereign cloud. These will feature NVIDIA’s
latest technologies, including NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and
frameworks and NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs.
This initiative is a critical part of FPT’s strategy in
reinforcing AI research and development, creating AI applications
and solutions with a focus on generative AI, autonomous driving,
and green transformation for sustainability. This empowers FPT to
realize the vision of transforming Vietnam into an AI nation and
accelerating the adoption of AI applications in Asia, including but
not limited to Vietnam, Japan, and Korea.
AI Factory will provide cloud GPU services to accompany FPT's
corporate customers globally to access the most core resources to
improve research capacity, accelerate the speed of AI applications,
especially Generative AI, and achieve breakthroughs in improving
productivity and customer experience.
At the same time, it helps FPT accelerate the construction and
development of AI platforms and applications with higher value for
customers in all industries.
As part of the collaboration, FPT has joined the NVIDIA Partner
Network as a Service Delivery Partner and aims to become a Global
Systems Integrator, leveraging the full potential of NVIDIA's
cutting-edge products and technologies to develop bespoke cloud
services, hardware, software, and most importantly, generative AI
solutions. Prioritizing three key verticals, including automotive,
manufacturing, banking, financial services, and insurance, FPT will
offer end-to-end generative AI services, empowering businesses to
unlock the next level of productivity and automation. The
integrations will enhance FPT’s AI Labs while introducing new
software frameworks.
Additionally, FPT’s education group will work to strengthen the
AI workforce by incorporating NVIDIA’s programs into educational
curriculum and activities, training programs, and lab facilities at
both university and high school levels, aiming to reach at least
30,000 students within 5 years.
FPT further intends to collaborate with NVIDIA on opportunities
to develop cloud gaming with NVIDIA GeForce NOW in Vietnam.
