Hien revealed that the company’s goal of creating a partnership ecosystem with prominent multinational corporations yielded excellent results last year, including collaboration with Frasers Property and Sembcorp Industries.

GELEX will continue to pursue this approach to deepen the group’s engagement in global value chains, grow and improve higher-added value product segments in core areas, bolster exports, and strive to be the top investment group in Vietnam.

"This collaboration will help us open up many new investment opportunities in digital infrastructure, the semiconductor industry, and elsewhere that are mutually beneficial to both parties," added Hien.

At the ceremony, Nguyen Van Khoa, general director of FPT Corporation said that the corporation has just celebrated its 36th anniversary and is now operating in the three areas of technology, telecommunications, and education.

"GELEX has many things in common with FPT, particularly our shared objective of a green future. FPT's strategy focuses on AI, semiconductors, automotive software, digital transformation, and green transformation. We expect that today's signing ceremony will be the beginning of a long journey of collaborating, growing together, and contributing to the country’s development," said Khoa.

Additionally, Khoa hopes that by working together, the corporate cultures of FPT and GELEX would be shared, encouraging innovation based on their shared core beliefs. FPT will use its substantial experience to support GELEX's objectives.

FPT is a top global consultant and supplier of green transformation and digital transformation solutions for businesses worldwide. The corporation first collaborated with GELEX Group in 2017, providing IT services, security equipment, data storage systems, and consultations on office digitalisation and cloud computing systems.
