At the Vietnam–Japan Public–Private Forum on Economic, Scientific and Technological Cooperation, held on November 9 in Tokyo, FPT proposed five pillars for co-creation in AI, quantum technology, talent development, and technology financing. FPT also exchanged Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with Japanese partners on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the low-altitude economy. At the exhibition held alongside the forum, FPT showcased power management chips and UAV technologies.
A Shared Vision for Creating New Value Through AI
As part of the official visit to Japan, on the morning of November 9 (local time), General Secretary and President To Lam and a high-level Vietnamese delegation attended the Vietnam–Japan Public–Private Forum on Economic, Scientific and Technological Cooperation in Tokyo, under the theme “Co-Creating Technology, Co-Shaping Future Value Chains.”
The forum was organized by Vietnam's Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the Embassy of Vietnam in Japan, in collaboration with Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), Ministry of Finance (MOF), Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), and Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO).
Japanese participants included Mr. Norihiko Ishiguro, Chairman of JETRO, along with senior representatives from Japanese ministries, government agencies, and business organizations.
Speaking at the forum, Mr. Truong Gia Binh, Chairman of FPT Corporation, emphasized that AI is accelerating science, technology, and innovation at an unprecedented pace. This presents an opportunity for Japan and Vietnam to complement each other's strengths and jointly create value far beyond what either country could achieve independently.
Against this backdrop, FPT proposed five pillars for Vietnam–Japan cooperation:
1. Building sovereign and trusted AI infrastructure: Connecting AI Factories, data, and AI application capabilities across the two countries while ensuring that each retains control over domestic infrastructure and data.
2. Accelerating AI transformation across enterprises and supply chains: Promoting AI adoption in strategic industries, including automotive, electronics, logistics, and energy.
3. Developing AI and quantum talent at scale: Training tens of thousands of AI and quantum engineers proficient in Japanese.
4. Establishing a Vietnam–Japan Co-Creation Fund: Creating a financial mechanism to support joint technology innovation and development.
5. Advancing cooperation in the quantum era: Strengthening bilateral collaboration in quantum technologies.
According to Mr. Truong Gia Binh, these five proposals should be implemented through close cooperation between the two governments, universities, and leading technology enterprises in Vietnam and Japan.
“We are not cooperating merely to grow together, but to jointly shape a new future for both nations,” he said.
From Strategic Proposals to Cooperation Agreements
FPT and Japanese partners exchange Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) in the presence of General Secretary and President To Lam and Japanese leaders.At the event, FPT and Japanese partners exchanged MoUs in the presence of General Secretary and President To Lam and Japanese leaders.
In the low-altitude economy sector, the Vietnam Low-Altitude Economy Alliance (LAEP), led by FPT, exchanged an MoU with the Kaga National Strategic Special Zone Promotion Association.
The partnership aims to advance the low-altitude economy in Vietnam and Japan, explore the establishment of industrial clusters and related manufacturing facilities in Kaga City, and leverage data and AI to develop new business models.
FPT will contribute expertise in AI, data analytics, software development, and automotive technology solutions.
Meanwhile, the MoU between FPT and NTT e-Drone Technology, a major Japanese UAV company, focuses on the research, development, and commercialization of UAV technologies in Vietnam and Japan.
The two companies plan to collaborate on developing drone remote controllers, conducting market research on Vietnam's UAV sector, implementing proof-of-concept (PoC) projects, and expanding distribution channels.
Showcasing Semiconductor Chips and UAV Technologies
Alongside the forum, FPT showcased strategic technology products and solutions in the semiconductor and UAV sectors.
In semiconductors, FPT displayed circuit boards incorporating power management chips for which FPT has full ownership of the design process.
The products cover three application categories: smart homes, solid-state drives (SSDs), and automotive systems.
FPT's power management chips have already been commercially exported to Japan.
In the UAV sector, FPT introduced a fixed-wing UAV model integrated with control software and AI, designed for large-area monitoring, data collection, and analytics.
Also participating in the exhibition, Gremsy, FPT's partner in UAV technology research and development and the low-altitude economy, showcased two payload systems, VIO and LYNX.
FPT established a presence in Japan in 2005, becoming the first Vietnamese IT company to establish a legal entity in the country.
Today, FPT operates 18 offices and development centers with more than 5,500 employees in Japan, supported by over 15,000 engineers and technology experts worldwide serving Japanese customers.
FPT has established long-standing partnerships with major Japanese enterprises, including SCSK, Honda, Subaru, and Konica Minolta. FPT also operates joint ventures with SCSK, Konica Minolta, and CAC Holdings, alongside a capital and business alliance with OKI.
In strategic technologies, FPT has partnered with NVIDIA to establish FPT AI Factory in Japan.
In late 2025, FPT exported the first commercial shipment of power management chips to Japan through Restar.
In the UAV sector, FPT has formed a strategic partnership with Gremsy to promote UAV and industrial robotics applications in Japan.
At Japan Drone Show 2026, the Vietnam exhibition booth, which featured FPT UAV, received the organizer's Special Jury Prize.
Looking ahead, FPT aims to rank among Japan's top 13 IT companies by 2033, reinforcing FPT's long-term commitment to the Japanese market and bilateral technology cooperation.
