“Vietnam is one of France’s main economic partners in Southeast
Asia, covering a diverse array of sectors with increasing import of
Vietnam’s specialised electronic and textile products. In terms of
investment, France is the second largest European (EU) investor in
Vietnam, generating 50,000 jobs for this market. In 2023, Business
France also supported nine Vietnamese investment projects in
France,” said Laurent Saint-Martin, CEO of Business France.
Featuring panelists from global businesses and organizations
like NVIDIA, FPT, Egis, Thales, Oerlikon, Valeo, OPmobility, and
more, the business forum offered attendees the latest updates in
next-gen technology and the national socio-economic outlook. Key
topics included the economic attractiveness of France and Vietnam,
Vietnam’s momentum as a global digital and investment hub, ethical
innovation in artificial intelligence, and smart mobility for a
sustainable future.
Throughout the panel discussions, FPT has showcased its broad
expertise, industry experience, and extensive global outreach,
reaffirming its position as a sustainable transformative enabler
with cutting-edge and green technologies.
“Vietnam is emerging as a workforce powerhouse and a global hub
for investment and technology, notably in digital transformation
and green transition, as well as the advancement of AI and the
automotive industry. As the country’s leading corporation, FPT’s
strategic directions align with the French government and
businesses. We have a robust partnership network, a highly skilled
workforce, and a solid global presence to bridge the friendship and
cooperation between Vietnam and France’s enterprises,” said Pham
Minh Tuan, FPT Executive Vice President and FPT Software CEO.
“FPT is the perfect illustration of what France and Vietnam can
achieve together. Their 15 years of presence in France with
continuous investments since 2008 have created over 120 jobs and
the establishment of three subsidiaries. Their renewed strategic
partnership with Airbus in 2021 is also an evident symbol of
effective cooperation with the European industrial sector,” Laurent
added.
FPT now has over 100 local experts working in France's major
cities and 500 offshore professionals in Vietnam, focusing on AI,
Big Data, BI, SAP, DevSecOps, Cloud, and AUTOSAR services. Its
robust competencies are recognized through strategic partnerships
with more than 50 French giants across industries.
As part of the company’s global expansion, FPT has been actively
involved in M&A deals to amplify its offshore delivery
capabilities and local footprint, notably the recent acquisition of
an 80% stake in the French IT consulting firm AOSIS. Last year, its
French subsidiary also entered the Top 100 ICT Companies in France,
targeting to enter the top 50 by 2028.
