At a signing ceremony on February 10, FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh emphasised that Vietnamese financial conglomerates should unite to grasp core applied sciences. He described it as a long-term, resource-intensive endeavor requiring nationwide ambition and perseverance.
The settlement was formalized amongst FPT Corporation, the Quantum AI & Cyber Security Institute (QACI), and the University of Engineering and Technology below Vietnam National University, Hanoi. The objective: to foster coaching, analysis, and growth of high-quality human sources in strategic expertise domains important to Vietnam’s future.
According to the settlement, the 2 sides will focus on growing expertise in key sectors equivalent to synthetic intelligence, quantum computing, and cybersecurity.
QACI, below FPT Corporation, will provide alternatives for internships and analysis, and can contemplate launching scholarship applications for undergraduate and graduate college students on the college.
The partnership additionally contains joint scientific analysis tasks, collaborative product growth, co-hosted tutorial conferences, and sharing of analysis outcomes with the broader neighborhood – forming a seamless innovation worth chain to serve Vietnam’s strategic tech development.
Speaking on the occasion, FPT Chairman Associate Professor, Doctor Truong Gia Binh highlighted the importance of the partnership, calling it a milestone for complete collaboration between FPT and VNU Hanoi.
He famous, “Vietnam faces the crucial challenge of converting scientific and technological achievements into engines for economic growth. I have two appeals. First, each scientist, technologist, and engineer should contribute directly or indirectly to the government’s double-digit growth targets in the coming years. Second, Vietnamese conglomerates must venture together into the core technology space – this is a game that demands major resources, sustained resolve, and national aspiration.”
Associate Professor, Doctor Hoang Minh Son, President of Vietnam National University, Hanoi, underscored the significance of linking tutorial coaching and analysis with real-world purposes, describing this partnership as an important transfer to boost the college system’s analysis and instructing capability.
“If growth is based solely on labor, capital, and resources, breakthroughs are difficult,” he mentioned. “Real breakthroughs come when we shift from a material-based economy to a knowledge-based one. Science and technology can only become true growth engines when we create new, practical knowledge and tackle real problems faced by businesses and the nation. In today’s tech race, the deciding factor remains human capital and talent.”
Professor, Doctor Chu Duc Trinh, Rector of the University of Engineering and Technology, VNU Hanoi, said that the present bottleneck will not be a lack of awareness or consultants, however the absence of sturdy, reliable mechanisms linking scientists and companies.
He defined, “Today’s partnership lays the foundation for a genuine innovation model – one where universities, enterprises, and scientists collaborate to solve major national and business challenges. Our university stands ready to accompany and implement specific joint tasks starting now.”
Founded on December 13, 2025, QACI is without doubt one of the first quantum analysis facilities led by a Vietnamese enterprise.
FPT has pledged a $100 million funding into the institute, focusing on sensible options to nationwide challenges in quantum applied sciences, AI, and cybersecurity.
Its targets embody coaching 100 PhDs, growing 2,000 expertise consultants, and producing 500 scientific publications, patents, and mental property belongings.
