FPT's "made-by-Vietnam" AI ecosystem not only meets the needs of digital transformation taking place globally but also creates opportunities for technology talents to join the journey of creating the future.

FPT continuously develops AI capabilities in Japan

In September 2024, FPT established FPT Data & AI Integration in Japan, with the goal of consolidating existing capabilities in the FPT ecosystem on data and AI, while supporting project personnel to improve service deployment capacity, meeting the development needs of this billion-dollar technology sector right in the Japanese market.

Mr. Dao Thanh Binh, CEO of FPT Data & AI Integration, FPT Corporation shared: “The center was established to realize the goal of building an AI ecosystem in Japan based on the foundation of AI research and development capacity along with FPT's ability to connect deeply with leading organizations in the AI ​​field”.

FPT's global technology partner network includes NVIDIA, the world's leading corporation in the field of GPU Cloud (cloud computing with integrated high-performance graphics processors). In November 2024, FPT launched an AI Factory in Vietnam and Japan, and announced an AI ecosystem, joining hands with global technology corporations such as NVIDIA, SCSK, ASUS, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, VAST Data, DDN Storage to promote the development and operation of AI factories, contributing to the development of sovereign AI in the two countries.

In the Japanese market, FPT is focusing on developing made-by-Vietnam AI products such as: AI Chat chatbot, AI Mentor training application, AI Engage customer service improvement application, AI-OCR application, Vision AI image applications, etc. These products are analyzed by FPT's software export division in Japan to analyze the market demand for AI to provide product customization orientation, in order to maximize FPT's inherent strength in software development, large network of customers and partners in Japan as well as around the world.

FPT is expected to provide cloud computing services based on the latest generation NVIDIA H200 GPUs in early 2025. The service is designed to accelerate the development and application of models such as generative AI, helping to promote the application of generative AI. Not only contributing to the development of Japanese technology, the service is also expected to address the challenges of an aging population and the need for digital transformation in Japanese industries.

Japan is a leading market for digital transformation, especially data and AI. The Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications forecasts that the country's AI system market will reach a scale of 7.3 billion USD by 2027. By investing heavily in AI and optimizing FPT's strengths in Japan, including the ability to provide system transformation services and provide advanced AI-integrated solutions, FPT is approaching its revenue target of 1 billion USD in this market by 2027.

Recruiting AI talent, conquering the billion-dollar market

The information technology (IT) market in Japan is expected to reach a size of about 941 billion USD by 2032, with an average growth rate of 8.6% per year from 2022 to 2032. However, according to the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the country will have a shortage of about 789,000 IT workers by 2030.

Currently, Vietnamese enterprises only account for about 6-7% of the market share in Japan's software development outsourcing demand, a market worth more than 30 billion USD per year. The increasing demand for applying AI to solve problems in various areas of life is opening up great opportunities for Vietnamese IT companies. Especially for areas related to artificial intelligence, Vietnamese IT enterprises and human resources can participate more deeply in this potential market.

Cooperating with leading partners, investing heavily in infrastructure, aiming to recruit hundreds of AI experts and thousands of IT engineers in other fields, FPT has been clearly demonstrating its determination to conquer the Japanese market.

“With the orientation of applying AI to solve practical problems in life, business, and society, we expect to attract hundreds of talents to participate in AI and data integration projects in Japan, together shaping the future of AI and using technology to create sustainable values ​​for society," Mr. Dao Thanh Binh affirmed.

Having worked in large companies in Japan, with in-depth experience in the field of computer science, Mr. Binh believes that job opportunities in the field of AI and data are huge.

On the journey to affirm Vietnamese intelligence in Japan, FPT wishes to accompany technology talents to research, develop, and apply AI deeply into life, business, and society in Japan in particular and the global market in general. In Japan, Vietnamese experts joining FPT will work in the Top 100 best places to work in Japan and will be given many conditions to develop their capacity.
