FPT builds tower located in a prime location of Cau Giay district

On December 29, FPT Corporation held a ground-breaking ceremony for FPT Tower in Cau Giay District, Hanoi. The construction covers an area of 100,000 square metres and will eventually provide working space for 9,000 people. This is FPT's 14th campus with the largest building area so far.

The event was attended by Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Tran Van Tung; Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Phan Tam; Representatives of the Hanoi People’s Committee and the People’s Committee of Cau Giay District; leaders of FPT and member companies; as well as news agencies.

FPT CEO Bui Quang Ngoc spoke at the ceremony.

As of December 2017, FPT has nearly 32,000 employees working in 21 countries, a year-on-year rise of 13%. This accounts for 10% of the total work force of the country’s IT sector.

In order to ensure the human resource development, FPT has pioneered the construction of complexes and office buildings nationwide following the campus models by tech giants in the world. These works not only create a creative working environment for staff but also contribute to a modern technology ecosystem, helping the development of IT centers and hi-tech parks in Vietnam as well as affirming Vietnam’s position in the global technology value chain.

FPT is also the only technology company in Vietnam to invest in building large-scale university and software-park complexes in four key economic areas of the country namely Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City and Can Tho.

"The number of FPT employees has grown nearly 16 per cent a year in the last 10 years. The growth rate is expected to be 18 per cent in the 2018 – 2020 period, and reach a scale of more than 50,000 by 2020,” said FPT CEO Bui Quang Ngọc. He said FPT had pioneered construction of university and software-park complexes in Vietnam. “We expect FPT Tower will contribute to the development of Vietnam’s technology ecosystem, especially in the time of the fourth industrial revolution".
