Furthermore, Nvidia announced the acquisition of VinBrain, a Vingroup-affiliated healthcare startup, though the financial details remain undisclosed..
During a visit to Hanoi last year, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed the company's intention to strengthen collaborations with leading technology firms in Vietnam and to assist in the training of talent for AI and digital infrastructure development.
In April, FPT, a Vietnamese technology company, revealed plans to invest $200 million in an AI factory that will utilize Nvidia's graphics chips and software.
The agreement was signed in Hanoi, with both Huang and Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh in attendance. Specific financial details regarding the R&D center and data center were not provided.
Prime Minister Chinh underscored the significant potential of artificial intelligence to stimulate economic expansion and emphasized Vietnam's strategic objective of utilizing AI to develop advanced clean energy solutions.
He stated that Vietnam aims to achieve prominence not only in AI but also in space and ocean exploration, asserting that AI will facilitate the efficient harnessing of solar, wind, and wave energy for sustainable power generation.
