Viet Nam has 80,000 digital technology enterprises by 2025, a 1.4-fold increase compared with 2020, employing more than 1.9 million people. More than 2,100 Vietnamese technology firms have expanded overseas, with revenue from foreign markets estimated at 15 billion USD.
At the National Forum on the Development of Vietnamese Technology Enterprises (Make in Viet Nam 2025), companies including Viettel Group, VNPT Group, FPT Group, MISA Group, SOVICO Group, 1Matrix Company, SOTATEK Technology Joint Stock Company, and CMC Technology Group were recognised for their positive contributions to the “Make in Viet Nam” initiative.
With the vision of a next-generation telecommunications operator, VNPT is striving to master smart digital infrastructure, data and core technologies, and to pioneer the role of coordinator of the national digital ecosystem.
Meanwhile, Viettel has established five key high-tech industries, comprising high-tech weapons and equipment, aerospace, telecommunications infrastructure, semiconductors and cyber security. The Group currently masters 270 core technologies, and has researched and mastered more than 80 military products alongside nearly 100 civilian products.
In 2025, CMC implemented and was recognised for two national-level tasks: CMC AI Cloud and CMC OpenAI/CLS. CMC OpenAI/CLS includes a legal virtual assistant serving the two-tier local government system and an LLM model for the field of Vietnamese law, aiming to apply AI to tasks requiring high standards and reliability. The solution supports the review, retrieval, synthesis and processing of legal operations in the context of an increasingly large and rapidly changing legal document system.
CMC AI Cloud, meanwhile, is a national cloud computing platform oriented not only towards service provision but also towards gradually achieving autonomy in infrastructure, operational capability and core platform layers capable of underpinning shared systems. CMC has set the goal of building technological capability based on the philosophy of “Vietnamese intelligence and data”, with a view to mastering core technologies rather than relying on proprietary platforms.
In addition to the two tasks for 2025, CMC has registered four additional tasks, bringing the total number of national-level tasks registered by the enterprise for 2026 to six. These focus on developing shared platforms and core capabilities for the public sector, businesses and citizens, including: CMC OpenAI/CLS; CMC AI Cloud; the CMC Comprehensive Security Platform – a national comprehensive security platform; the C-GOV Platform – a platform for management, administration and digital transformation at commune and ward level; the C-HEALTH Platform – a digital healthcare and smart health care platform; and the C-Vision Platform – a platform for image monitoring, analysis and smart operations. In the immediate term, the C-HEALTH Platform has been selected by the Ministry of Science and Technology as a national task assigned to CMC for implementation in 2026.
With its strategic technology product, the Viet Nam Blockchain Service Network (VBSN), 1Matrix Company has been tasked with integrating the VBSN network into key applications across the public–private sector, thereby helping to improve the management efficiency of state agencies and promote the development of the digital economy. In 2026, the company has committed to addressing two major challenges: integrating blockchain into traceability systems and into the judicial system, serving the digital rule-of-law state.
Over the past five years, FPT has reduced the proportion of outsourcing products from 90% to 30%. The company has gradually moved away from a purely volume-driven growth model, investing instead in technology and embedding national strategies into its corporate development strategy. FPT’s strategy focuses on AI and Quantum AI; data and digital infrastructure; cyber security; railway technology; and semiconductors.
The above results show that Vietnamese technology enterprises have grown significantly in scale and have gradually mastered technology. From a position of merely outsourcing and assembly, Viet Nam has moved towards researching and mastering strategic core technologies, and has begun to participate in the global semiconductor supply chain.
This forms a foundation for Vietnamese technology enterprises to confidently transition from the goal of “mastery” to that of “leading and spearheading” in a new era, making important contributions to the advancement of the digital economy and digital society.
