The center will focus on research, production, and training technology experts.

FPT Corporation Chairman Truong Gia Binh hoped this 15-hectare complex would turn Binh Dinh into the region's leading artificial intelligence (AI) center, a scientific hub for testing the world's latest technologies.

He said it requires clear goals, thorough planning, and the best human resources to make the goal possible.

FPT Software is licensed for the high-tech complex.

In 2021, the technology company signed an agreement with Binh Dinh Province and McKinsey & Company Vietnam on building Binh Dinh into an economic hub of the Central Coast region and a leading AI center in the region in the province's planning for 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050.

Previously, FPT also signed an agreement with the world's leading AI research institute Mila to develop the world's leading AI Research Center in Binh Dinh's Quy Nhon based on Mila's consultation and extensive experience.

This FPT Artificial Intelligence Center has an area of about 94ha with a total investment of more than VND4.3 trillion ($179 million).
