Global technology corporation FPT and OKI Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (OKI), a leading Japan-based technology provider, recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to advance a strategic partnership focused on digital transformation and regional business expansion. The signing ceremony took place in Tokyo, witnessed by Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister H.E. Nguyen Chi Dung, members of the Vietnamese Government delegation, and Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan H.E. Pham Quang Hieu.
Under this agreement, FPT will support OKI in developing advanced technology solutions for disaster prevention and forecasting, as well as implementing financial and banking systems in the Vietnamese market. Both sides also committed to expanding their collaboration across a wide range of technology domains to drive comprehensive digital innovation.
In the presence of Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister, OKI also expressed their honor to take part in Vietnam and Japan’s digital transformation journey, an ambition that strongly aligns with our mutual global growth strategies. FPT sees this partnership as a mutual vision of using technology to drive meaningful business transformation and contribute to both Japan and Vietnam’s growth.
"Vietnam is steadfast in its commitment to advancing policies, resolving key bottlenecks, and leveraging all available resources to drive digital transformation. This partnership will create practical value for both countries and play a pivotal role in fostering regional and global progress," stated Vietnam Deputy Prime Minister, H.E. Nguyen Chi Dung.
This announcement follows a strategic agreement under which FPT Japan acquired a 65% stake in two of OKI’s overseas subsidiaries. The collaboration aims to enhance software development capabilities, accelerate market expansion in Japan, and unlock new synergies by combining FPT’s technological expertise with OKI’s deep industry experience.
