With over 3,500 exhibitors and 148,000 attendees from around the world, CES 2026 continues to solidify its position as a practical gauge for the future of technology, revealing how swiftly innovations are transforming into deployable products and services that can scale globally. The event’s industry framework essentially mirrors this transformation, structured across three major themes:

Intelligent Transformation: AI is Everywhere

Across the show, the dominant throughline was convergence, as chips, devices, robots, and software stacks increasingly aligned around making AI more capable in real-world conditions. NVIDIA exemplified this shift, moving from individual components to full-stack AI platforms with its Vera Rubin architecture and Alpamayo autonomy platform. On the silicon front, AI-driven roadmaps for PCs and edge devices saw significant acceleration, with vendors like AMD leading the way with higher-NPU designs like Ryzen AI 400 and new embedded processors. 

In this evolving landscape, FPT recognizes that every AI-first organization requires five core foundations to ensure AI is scalable, responsible, and impactful—ethics and security, agentic development lifecycle, AI-augmented workforce, digital workers, and a global partner network. These foundations are integrated into FPT’s FleziPT platform, designed to take AI from experimentation into production with enterprise-grade discipline across the full chain, from data readiness and model integration into software, to validation, traceability, and operational monitoring. This is how the company can move faster without trading off governance, supporting up to 50% faster deployments, 40% lower operational overhead, and up to double the speed from idea to MVP.

FPT AI factories in Japan and Vietnam are ranked among the world's fastest supercomputers by TOP500

This setup is further supported by AI Factories in Vietnam and Japan, powered by NVIDIA H100 and H200 GPUs, providing enterprises with the compute power needed for large-scale training and inference. On the frontier end, FPT recently announced a USD 100 million commitment to Quantum AI research, establishing a dedicated institute to push the boundaries of next-gen AI technologies, with a particular focus on security as AI becomes integral to critical systems.

Entertainment and content took a different but equally impactful direction, with CTA CEO Gary Shapiro outlining a hybrid future where people and AI collaborate to expand ideas, generate variations, and engage wider audiences. Rather than replacing the human touch, AI enhances speed, output, and reach, while preserving the authentic voice that resonates with audiences.

FPT’s partnership with Chelsea Football Club is a prime example of this transformation in action. Recently elevated to the Club’s Principal Partner, FPT has successfully supported Chelsea FC to launch impactful initiatives like the Global Supporters Network, integrated into the Chelsea Official App to connect over 500 fan communities globally, or the Mega Store Express to improve matchday queues and fan experience—all while also modernizing the Club’s operations and advancing the Chelsea Foundation's digital presence. 

These efforts demonstrate how AI is transforming not only the entertainment experience but also the operational side of sports, driving efficiency and creating a more connected, agile ecosystem.

Engineering Tomorrow

“Software-defined” is extending its reach across technology, pointing to a future shaped by electrification, mobility, energy, and infrastructure, and enabled by the innovations showcased across the show floor.

This is especially prominent in automotive and mobility discussions, where the conversation has moved to a broader definition of intelligent movement. The focus is no longer solely on electric vehicles (EVs), but rather on integrating autonomy and AI-driven capabilities.

FPT’s showcase at CES further brought practical insights on integrating AI across vehicle programs, highlighting how the company is bridging the gap between in-vehicle experiences and the broader mobility ecosystem, driving innovation across multiple touchpoints in the mobility experience. New advancements, like the Edge AI Orchestrator concept, demonstrate how multiple AI agents and in-vehicle services can be coordinated on Qualcomm and NVIDIA SoCs for responsive on-device experiences; while AI testing loop on AWS automates up to 80% of manual validation efforts, ensuring traceability aligned with V-Model and A-SPICE practices.

Building on this shift toward software-defined, AI-led mobility, FPT recently announced the establishment of dedicated units for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Railway Mobility Technology. By expanding into fields like railway mobility, automotive design, and UAV, the tech firm is leveraging its expertise in IoT, semiconductors, and safety-critical industries to drive innovations that will shape the future of transportation and infrastructure. FPT’s push into UAV technology, particularly through the Low-Altitude Economy Alliance and collaborations with international bodies such as the Japan UAS Industry Development Association (JUIDA), is positioning Vietnam as a key player in the rapidly growing low-altitude economy.

Digital Health & Longevity Technologies

CES 2026 also spotlighted the intersection of AI and healthcare, with a growing interest in longevity technologies, AI-powered diagnostics, and personalized treatments. Most notable in wearable devices, combined with AI analytics, for early detection of health issues, and AI to accelerate drug development and clinical trials.

FPT is actively propelling Vietnam to be a hub for AI-powered clinical trials and drug development, backed by a strong tech talent pipeline

To this end, FPT is actively advancing momentum by building a remote healthcare platform and a digital medical ecosystem that provide integrated services for regulators, medical institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and the public. Boasting over a decade of research and development, the tech firm is integrating AI to enhance healthcare quality and expand access to personalized medical services, particularly through telemedicine and real-time patient health monitoring. In the pharmaceutical sector, FPT also accelerates innovation by digitizing R&D processes, deploying Advanced Pharmacy Omni-Channel Systems, and developing drug management platforms that connect patients, doctors, and pharmacies via electronic medical records.

In conclusion, whether it’s in AI, mobility, or healthcare, CES showed that the winners in 2026 will ship ecosystems, not one-off features. The real value will lie in how well companies can integrate their offerings into ecosystems that drive long-term growth, scalability, and user engagement.

By connecting global expertise, its own AI-driven platforms, and an extensive global partner network of world-leading tech players and industry innovators, such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, SAP, AWS, and others, FPT is well-set to help organizations build interconnected ecosystems that drive sustainable growth and long-term success across industries.
