DX Summit 2025 opened on May 28 with the participation of hundreds of domestic and international delegates, technology experts, representatives of large corporations, financial institutions, research institutes and the startup community. The event will take place over 2 days, May 27-28, 2025, with the theme "Mastering Technology - Breakthrough, Growing", this year's forum affirms the central role of technology in the socio -economic development strategy of Vietnam and the region.
Digital transformation, science and technology are strategic choices
In his opening speech, Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa, Chairman of VINASA and General Director of FPT Corporation, emphasized: "Never before have science and technology and digital transformation been placed in such a central position as they are today in the national development strategy". Resolution 57 of the Politburo is like a "midwife" for science and technology and innovation enterprises, opening a new era of development, where technology is the key driving force.
According to Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa, Chairman of VINASA, General Director of FPT Corporation, Vietnam possesses favorable conditions to become a center for providing high-quality technology human resources for the world, thanks to a young and enthusiastic workforce, a sharp increase in the number of IT students and businesses that are gradually asserting their capacity in the international market. However, he also pointed out the challenge: Vietnam needs at least 2.5 million IT workers in the next few years - double the current number.
“Today’s forum is not only a place to share, but also a place to create policy changes, unlock resources for Vietnamese businesses to master technology, and create AI products for Vietnamese people with high quality and low cost,” Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa emphasized.
To turn opportunities into reality, Mr. Khoa suggested that the Government should continue to improve the legal framework. Increase investment in digital infrastructure and human resource training. In addition, there needs to be joint action from the digital technology business community, and more bold investment in R&D, focusing on core technologies and product quality. Strengthen cooperation and association to create combined strength and together conquer larger markets.
On the social side, it is necessary to build a digital culture, encourage innovation and accept new business models. Vietnam holds its own technological destiny in its hands.
By mastering technology and taking advantage of opportunities from comprehensive digital transformation, digital technology businesses not only contribute to the prosperity of the country but can also put Vietnam on the world technology map.
FPT Corporation CEO hopes: “The Government will support more strongly the breakthrough proposals from enterprises. Vietnam already has many big brands such as FPT, Viettel, VNPT, CMC and unicorns like VNG. In the future, I hope there will be more Vietnamese brands reaching the world, contributing to the prosperity and self-reliance of the country.”
Vietnam's Technology Vision in the AI Era
Also at DX Summit 2025, Mr. Vu Anh Tu - Chief Technology Officer of FPT Corporation, continued to clarify the path to conquering Vietnam's technological future: technology autonomy - data autonomy - AI infrastructure autonomy.
Mr. Vu Anh Tu said that Vietnam is entering a breakthrough phase, with more than 54,500 digital technology enterprises and total industry revenue reaching more than 151 billion USD in 2024. "We are no longer debating whether to transform digitally, but how fast to transform so as not to be left behind," Mr. Vu Anh Tu - Chief Technology Officer of FPT Corporation emphasized.
FPT has identified artificial intelligence as a growth pillar in the next decade. With the strategy of “standing on the shoulders of giants”, FPT develops AI products that are suitable for Vietnamese culture and data. At the same time, the group also invests heavily in AI infrastructure in Vietnam and Japan, shortening R&D time from 45 days to 1 day.
A highlight of FPT's technology strategy is to promote scientific research and training of the younger generation, especially AI training. According to Mr. Vu Anh Tu, FPT promotes training and development of AI human resources through many activities from primary to university and enterprises. From 2023, AI will be taught at primary and secondary levels, along with national and international AI programming competitions. FPT cooperates with prestigious universities such as Stanford, UPenn, Mila, and organizations such as Nvidia to provide in-depth training and AI certification.
The flipped classroom model is being tested and will be widely deployed from the 2025-2026 school year. More than 12,000 university students have been trained in AI, while FPT employees are required to study at least 42 hours a year, including at least 1 AI course to improve work quality. FPT and major universities have formed an alliance to implement Resolution 57, aiming to build a force of students with the necessary knowledge and skills in public administration, public management... to help them have enough capacity to participate in the team implementing Resolution 57/NQ-TW.
Affirming the role of AI in education, the Chief Technology Officer of FPT Corporation concluded: “We hope that with the above efforts, every student, every employee, and every Vietnamese citizen can use AI effectively and safely.”
By participating in the DX Summit 2025, FPT affirms its pioneering role in creating Vietnam’s digital future. Working with the government and the technology community, FPT is committed to developing high-quality human resources and mastering strategic technologies. This is a concrete step to realize the aspiration of making Vietnam a leading digital technology center in the region.
