The only Vietnamese company honored as Artificial Intelligence Enterprise of the Year

On May 16, a representative of VNG said that this unit has just received the Silver Award in the category "Artificial Intelligence Company of the Year" at the Globee Awards for Artificial Intelligence 2025, becoming the only enterprise from Vietnam and Southeast Asia to be honored this year thanks to its outstanding achievements in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The Globee Awards for Artificial Intelligence is a prestigious global award that honors individuals, teams, products and organizations with outstanding achievements and contributions in advancing the development of artificial intelligence, including technological innovations, practical implementations and breakthrough achievements in areas such as machine learning, natural language processing, generative AI, and AI solutions for humanity.

The Globee Awards judging process is transparent and data-driven, with thousands of global technology leaders and experts participating. In 2025, more than 2,995 experts applied to be part of the judging panel for the AI ​​category.

According to the Globee Awards Organizing Committee, VNG was selected based on breakthrough initiatives in deploying AI infrastructure and effectively applying AI technology into practice.

Identifying AI as the spearhead of growth for the new cycle, with the vision of becoming an "AI-First" enterprise within the next 5 years, VNG has deeply integrated AI across the entire ecosystem, while investing comprehensive resources in AI across all 3 layers: Infrastructure, platform and application.

In June 2024, GreenNode officially launched one of the first large-scale AI Cloud infrastructures in Southeast Asia in Bangkok, Thailand after less than 6 months of deployment.

At the foundation layer, VNG has tested two directions in parallel: Zalo AI successfully trained KiLM - a large language model (LLM) with the same capacity as GPT-4, helping Vietnam become one of the first three Southeast Asian countries to own its own LLM. In the 2024 Vietnamese LLM Ranking Report of VMLU announced on January 10, the KiLM-13b-v24.7.1 model developed by Zalo scored 66.07 points, just behind Meta's Llama-3-70B.

All of the Group’s core businesses are aggressively experimenting with AI. From game creation and marketing at VNGGames to personalized experiences at Zalo, AI is reshaping the way VNG connects and serves users.

The Group also actively contributes to the development of the Vietnamese AI community through initiatives such as the VMLU (Vietnamese Multitask Language Understanding Benchmark Suite for Large Language Models) - launched at the end of 2023, or Zalo AI Summit, Zalo AI Challenge... These initiatives have contributed to promoting innovation and mastery of AI technology by Vietnamese people in accordance with the spirit of Resolution 57-NQ/TW./.
