FPT recently joined one of the world’s most influential technology events, CES, bringing an AI-first portfolio that drives real impacts across sectors, from smarter mobility and in-cabin intelligence to AI-enabled engineering, manufacturing, and next-generation digital experiences. The tech firm also spotlighted how Vietnam’s AI capabilities are increasingly contributing to the global transformation agenda, scaling from delivery strength into strategic collaboration, where solutions are co-created with partners and built to perform in real-world conditions.

With more than 3,500 exhibitors and an expected turnout of over 140,000 attendees from 150 countries, regions, and territories, CES 2026 continues to reaffirm its role as a practical barometer for where technology is heading next while also showing how quickly that direction is translating into products and services that can be deployed at scale. This year’s edition underscored AI’s shift from debate to validation, as chips, devices, robots, and software stacks converged around real-world performance, from industrial-scale AI and digital twins to physical automation and on-device assistants that make local inference a baseline expectation rather than a premium feature.

Across CES, the conversation has become more direct: If AI is moving into everyday experiences, what does it take to make it dependable in environments where latency, safety, and scale are non-negotiable?
FPT addressed that question through FleziPT, presented as an AI-first foundation designed to take AI from experimentation into production with the disciplines required for enterprise-grade deployment. The focus was on the full chain, including data readiness, model integration into software, validation and traceability, and operational monitoring, reflecting a view of AI as an engineering layer that must be designed and governed like any other critical system.

Particularly in mobility, a focal theme at CES 2026, FPT’s showcase focused on what matters when AI has to run inside a vehicle program, which is low-latency intelligence at the edge, faster engineering cycles, and the ability to validate software changes with discipline. The company’s Edge AI Orchestrator concept illustrated how multiple AI agents and in-vehicle services can be coordinated on Qualcomm and NVIDIA SoCs to support responsive on-device experiences, while the AI testing loop on AWS reflected the push to industrialize validation by automating up to 80 percent of manual effort and maintaining clear traceability aligned with V-Model and A-SPICE practices. Additionally, its Virtual Factory concept demonstrated how anomaly detection, computer vision, and agentic AI can be applied to real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance.

Co-creation made the story more concrete by linking in-cabin experiences with the broader mobility ecosystem. Smart AI Cabin, co-developed with Telechips, showed a modular path to digital cockpit innovation that supports faster iteration without adding hardware complexity. Alongside this, collaboration with P3 Group on an AI-powered assistant for smart charging stations pointed to how the same AI foundation can improve operational decision-making beyond the vehicle and increasingly shape the end-to-end mobility experience.

The same expectation is carried into sports, where digital experiences need to perform at a global scale and under real-time conditions.
At the CES C Space Storyteller, FPT and Chelsea Football Club’s discussion, titled “Tech x Football: FPT & Chelsea FC Playbook for Innovation,” shared how their collaboration is leveraging AI and digital transformation to elevate the standards for fan engagement and operational experiences.

The partnership, launched in April 2025 and elevated to Principal status within six months, exemplified a delivery-focused playbook where speed and execution define value, not just in matchday moments but across the everyday journeys. This mindset has already brought tangible outcomes, connecting supporter communities through the club app while reducing matchday friction through click-and-collect. It is now extending into areas such as stadium event bookings and digital storytelling, which support the Chelsea Foundation’s outreach and social impact.
The conversation also highlighted five foundations embedded into FleziPT, spanning ethics and security, agentic development, an AI-augmented workforce, digital workers, and a global partner network, while reinforcing a people-first commitment that scales capability through AI education and agent development across departments rather than isolating AI in a specialist team.
With a shared ambition and clear strategic fit, this partnership reflects a strong strategic alignment between Chelsea FC’s demand for speed, scale, and personalization and FPT’s AI-first approach and agile delivery, translating into tangible gains in supporter connectivity, matchday digital experience, and engagement. Looking ahead, both sides point to expanding the AI transformation across the club’s ecosystem, particularly in domains where trust and emotion are integral to the product.
Through live demos, on-stage storytelling, and partner collaborations, FPT’s CES 2026 presence connected the industry’s biggest shift toward deployable AI with tangible use cases across sectors. With AI now moving from experimentation to expectation, the next advantage will come from engineering discipline, governance, and shared delivery that shorten the path from idea to production without compromising trust. Being an AI-first company, FPT stands ready to deliver bespoke, enterprise-grade AI solutions that help global businesses transition from pilots to production with measurable impacts, leveraging Vietnam’s emergence as an AI nation and powerhouse.
