The partnership will initially focus on developing applications that showcase the potential of 5G in key areas, including advanced monitoring in healthcare, enhanced manufacturing solutions, as well as augmented and virtual reality for retail.

By partnering with a global leader in 5G technology, FPT will harness the transformative power of 5G in connectivity and data processing to advance its strategic focus on AI, enhance its capabilities, and enable the development of more sophisticated AI-driven solutions.

Ericsson’s commitment to Vietnam is demonstrated through its continuous support for the development of telecommunications and its dedication to sharing valuable expertise to empower Vietnamese enterprises to maximize the potential of next-generation connectivity.
Mr. Pham Minh Tuan, FPT Corporation Executive Vice President and FPT Software Chief Executive Officer, said: “5G is a catalyst for digital transformation and AI adoption; its acceleration can bring immense benefits to businesses and consumers across industries. The partnership between FPT and Ericsson in Vietnam will not only establish a stronger foundation for the country’s digital landscape but also leverage both companies’ strengths to deliver smarter, more scalable solutions that expand beyond Vietnam to meet the evolving needs of today’s connected world.”
