"Cooperation with the prestigious National University of Singapore will help us exploit the power of AI to promote the development and success of both parties not only in Singapore and Vietnam but also globally." Mr. David Nguyen, CEO of FPT Asia Pacific, FPT Corporation emphasized: "The establishment of the AI Research Lab in Singapore is the foundation of the cooperative relationship between the two parties. We will develop breakthrough solutions to solve problems in economic sectors that are important to the region's development, such as healthcare, banking, insurance, logistics, transportation, aviation, energy, manufacturing, etc. By exploiting each other's strengths, we will continuously innovate and bring positive results to the two countries, the region and the world." Professor Tan Kian Lee, President of NUS Computing, shared: "The partnership between NUS Computing and FPT is mutual. We look forward to bringing advanced AI solutions to solve real-world challenges, while contributing to the AI ecosystem in Singapore and globally through the development of highly skilled AI human resources." NUS is Singapore's leading university, with 16 schools and faculties located on three campuses in Singapore, with more than 40,000 students from 100 countries. With a history of AI research spanning half a century, the school has a strong closely cooperate with government agencies, Singaporean enterprises and international partners in many AI projects. In 2024, NUS established the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, gathering leading AI researchers and experts. Artificial intelligence is considered one of the cutting-edge technologies, playing a core role in FPT's development strategy. The Group will continue to invest heavily and comprehensively in all aspects from people, infrastructure to databases, research for this core technology sector. FPT will also bring AI into every corner of life and integrate this technology into all products and solutions in the Made by FPT ecosystem to benefit end users. Recently, FPT has cooperated with NVIDIA to invest in building an AI factory with an expected investment of 200 million USD. Previously, to strengthen its capacity in the AI sector, FPT has cooperated with leading companies such as Landing AI, AIOMATIC and become a founding member of the AI Alliance initiated by IBM and Meta. FPT currently has an AI workforce of more than 1,500 engineers, along with additional resources from 1,300 FPT University students every year as well as from the AI Residency program in cooperation with the Mila Quebec AI Institute, to nurture young talents in the AI industry.
