The rising pressure of AI adoption

As Vietnam accelerates its digital transformation agenda, industrial organisations are facing increasing demand to adopt AI and data-driven technologies to enhance competitiveness, improve productivity and advance sustainability goals. While AI adoption is becoming increasingly mainstream among Vietnamese enterprises, many organisations continue to grapple with fragmented data, legacy infrastructure and limited visibility across operations. Recent research found that 73% of Vietnamese companies have adopted AI in some form, yet only 13.8% have deployed it at scale across their organisations, underscoring the need for a stronger digital foundation.

"For industrial enterprises globally and in Vietnam, the challenge is not ambition but infrastructure," said Ann Moore, AVEVA Power and Utilities Industry Principal. "The promise of AI remains largely unrealised for most industrial organizations because operational data, engineering data, asset context, workflows, and compliance frameworks all need to be managed in a unified trusted environment without losing fidelity, lineage, or context. Our CONNECT platform is designed to close this gap across every layer of the industrial technology stack. By lowering the cost and complexity of unifying industrial data, we help customers turn fragmented data into trusted operational intelligence, accelerating their AI-driven digital transformation.”

Driving Sustainable Industrial Growth

As industries across Vietnam pursue growth and modernisation, sustainability is becoming an increasingly strategic business priority. With Vietnam committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, organizations in sectors such as energy, oil and gas, and maritime are focused on improving energy efficiency, reducing emissions, and optimising critical assets. Digital technologies can help organisations achieve these goals while strengthening operational performance and resilience.

AVEVA’s Industrial Intelligence solutions help organisations connect engineering, operations and performance data to gain end-to-end visibility across the value chain. By leveraging real-time insights, digital twins and advanced analytics, industrial operators can improve asset reliability, optimise energy consumption, reduce operational waste and accelerate progress toward their sustainability goals . Through trusted data and AI-driven decision-making, AVEVA enables customers to achieve sustainable growth while maintaining safe, resilient and efficient operations.

CONNECT: Expanding the data and AI ecosystem

AVEVA is expanding its industrial intelligence platform, CONNECT, with new capabilities that help organisations integrate, manage, and derive greater value from industrial data. Enhancements include direct access to high-fidelity operational technology (OT) data without the need for data duplication, helping establish a single source of truth while reducing latency and integration costs. The launch of CONNECT Flows also simplifies the creation and deployment of real-time data pipelines from edge to cloud, enabling more efficient data cleansing, filtering, and transformation.

Looking ahead, a major CONNECT release is planned for Q1 2027, bringing a range of new capabilities, including an industrial knowledge graph that makes it faster to construct, enrich, and operationalise digital twins. Slated for an Early Access Programme opening this year, this knowledge graph is populated using a twin builder that applies agentic AI to propose intelligent mappings, aligning existing, fragmented data sources to a standard data model. This radically accelerates time-to-value while preserving information lineage and ensuring rigorous data governance so every decision can be trusted.

By bringing these advanced data management and AI capabilities to the Vietnamese market, AVEVA is empowering local enterprises to overcome data fragmentation and safely scale their digital transformation initiatives. As Vietnam continues its rapid industrial expansion

Embracing the Potential of Vietnam’s Industrial Future

In line with Vietnam’s Industrial Transformation agenda, AVEVA has set its primary focus for the country in 2026 on delivering Industrial Intelligence solutions to key Vietnamese customers and helping them capitalise on the potentials of one of Asia’s strongest performing economies. 

As part of the company’s long-term commitment to advancing Vietnam’s industrial transformation, AVEVA recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Petrovietnam Refining and Petrochemical Corporation (BSR). The partnership supports BSR’s vision of becoming a fully digitally transformed enterprise through the adoption of Industrial Intelligence technologies, including Asset Performance Management (APM), Digital Twin capabilities and the AVEVA CONNECT platform. By combining AVEVA’s global expertise with BSR’s digital transformation ambitions, the collaboration aims to drive smarter operations, enhance asset reliability and support sustainable growth across Vietnam’s energy sector.

“As Vietnam's industrial sector continues to modernise, organisations are looking for practical ways to improve efficiency, resilience and sustainability.  Our event today will strengthen our engagement with leading industrial players in Vietnam and reinforce our long-term commitment to supporting the country’s industrial transformation journey. Through CONNECT and our broader Industrial Intelligence portfolio, AVEVA is helping customers turn industrial data into trusted insights that drive measurable business outcomes.  We look forward to continuing to work alongside our customers and partners to help shape Vietnam’s industrial future,” said Thomas Phang, SEA Market Leader, AVEVA.
