Ho Chi Minh City, March 28 – A group of 12 leading UK companies specializing in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data is exploring collaboration opportunities in Vietnam, as part of the UK-Southeast Asia Tech Week 2025.
Held in Ho Chi Minh City from March 27–28, this flagship event aims to foster digital innovation and build stronger tech partnerships between the UK and Southeast Asia. The initiative reflects the UK’s growing interest in Vietnam’s fast-emerging digital economy.
In a major development on the sidelines of the event, the UK Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City and the Ho Chi Minh City Digital Transformation Centre signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen cooperation in science, technology, and innovation.
The newly signed MoU sets the stage for deeper collaboration between UK and Vietnamese stakeholders—including government agencies, research institutions, universities, and private sector players—to accelerate digital transformation and tech innovation in Vietnam’s southern economic hub.
The partnership will focus on both fundamental and applied research across a wide range of key sectors, including smart city solutions, FinTech, AI, robotics, automation, nanotechnology, cybersecurity, and HealthTech.
As Vietnam continues to position itself as a regional leader in digital transformation, this UK-Vietnam collaboration could unlock new opportunities for innovation and growth in one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic tech markets.
