HANOI, June 26 – Vietnam has officially joined the ranks of the world’s top 15 artificial intelligence (AI) nations, following the inclusion of two AI factories operated by FPT Corporation in the June 2025 edition of the TOP500 list—a globally recognized ranking of the most powerful supercomputers.
FPT’s AI factories, located in Vietnam and Japan, claimed the 36th and 38th spots, respectively, marking a historic milestone for Vietnam in the global AI race.
A Breakthrough Moment for Vietnamese Tech
The two factories, which began operations in November 2024, are the result of FPT’s long-term commitment to building high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure to support advanced AI development. Their capabilities have already attracted the attention of international tech leaders, including LandingAI, which is working with FPT to develop next-generation AI solutions.
FPT announced plans to establish three additional AI factories worldwide within the next five years, reinforcing its ambition to position Vietnam as a regional powerhouse in AI computing.
Global Recognition Through TOP500
The TOP500 list, now in its 65th edition, is widely regarded as the authoritative benchmark for supercomputing performance. Published twice a year, it ranks systems based on the LINPACK benchmark, which measures how efficiently a computer solves large systems of linear equations—critical for AI, scientific research, and big data applications.
With its two AI factories making the list, FPT has propelled Vietnam into an elite group of AI leaders that includes the United States, China, Japan, Germany, and France. This is the first time Vietnam has appeared in the global top 15for AI infrastructure, highlighting its growing capabilities in the technology sector.
A New Chapter for AI in Vietnam
The recognition from TOP500 is not only a testament to FPT’s computational power and technical innovation but also an endorsement of its international service standards. These AI facilities are equipped to support the full spectrum of AI activities—from research and development to deployment—catering to businesses, academic institutions, and developers around the world.
“This marks a significant step forward for Vietnam’s digital future,” said a technology analyst in Hanoi. “It shows that the country is no longer just a participant but an emerging leader in the global AI ecosystem.”
As Vietnam sets its sights on becoming a regional AI hub, FPT’s success underscores the country’s potential to compete in high-tech innovation on a global scale.
