FPT meeting with Trade and Industry Program Vietnam by Norwegian government

TIP is sponsored by Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), whose main task is to promote commercial activities between Vietnam and Norway and at the same time, contribute to the sustainable development of developing countries.

TIP is responsible to look for Vietnamese enterprises with high growing prospect to introduce to Norwegian counterparts so that the two sides would be able to discuss cooperation opportunities and establishment of potential joint ventures. The introduction of new companies would offer more jobs to a large number of Vietnamese people. This is also an aim set by TIP.

Vietnam ICT is being paid a great deal of attention by TIP, in which FPT Software is among targets to explore such opportunities. If possible, TIP would introduce FPT Software to Norwegian companies and shall act as a bridge by which the two sides are able to cooperate in a variety of fields including services provision, solutions trading or joint venture to focus on an in-depth ICT market segment.

A good example is that for two years, TIP has facilitated the cooperation between two companies of Vietnam and Norway to establish a small joint venture offering PM services. Two other companies are also expected to come to operate in the near future.

TIP is interested in SAP and has shown the hope that in the near future outsourcing activities by Norwegian companies shall be redirected from India to a cheaper country like Vietnam.
