As global markets continue to evolve rapidly in 2026, FPT is sharpening its execution focus - prioritising speed, agility, and bold delivery to scale capabilities that have already proven effective. Building on strong growth in 2025, the company is accelerating its expansion into high-value engagements, deepening AI adoption across its operations, and strengthening its global delivery footprint.

Building on Resilience in a Volatile Global Market

Global IT spending is projected to reach over $6.1 trillion in 2026, growing 10.8% year-on-year, with IT services alone accounting for nearly $1.9 trillion, underscoring sustained demand for modernisation and digital transformation. At the same time, AI investment continues to accelerate, with global spending expected to more than double between 2025 and 2027, signalling a shift from experimentation to scaled deployment.

As AI continues to reshape the technology industry at an unprecedented pace, it also becomes deeply embedded in day-to-day operations across FPT — from development and testing to delivery and support functions. While 2024 focused on building foundational understanding, 2025 marked a transition toward practical, large-scale application of AI, resulting in increased automation and shifts in workforce demand.

At the same time, changes in global trade policies, including new tax measures introduced in early 2025, created disruptions across international markets, leading some clients to delay or scale back digital transformation initiatives.

Despite these challenges, FPT maintained growth momentum and operational resilience, supported by strong collaboration across its global network. In 2025, FPT recorded VND 70.1 trillion in revenue and VND 11.2 trillion in profit after tax, with overseas IT services—its core growth engine—achieving 13.7% year-on-year growth.

Expanding Global Footprint and Delivering Large-Scale Projects

FPT continues to scale its global presence, both geographically and in the complexity of its engagements. Today, the company supports over 1,100 global clients, including 130+ Fortune Global 500 companies, with a workforce of more than 54,000 professionals across over 30 countries. Japan remains a strategic growth market since its establishment two decades ago, with strong business results, including record-breaking contract values comparable to those traditionally seen in more mature markets in the West.

Across Europe, particularly in Germany and France, the company achieved strong growth with the successful delivery of end-to-end AI-driven projects, opening new opportunities to redefine IT service delivery models. Across all geographies, FPT is increasingly engaged in multi-year, large-scale transformation programs, underscoring its transition from a delivery partner to a strategic co-creator. These include a $256 million, 5-year AI-enabled transformation program with a leading Asian energy group—the largest contract in FPT’s history; as well as additional large-scale deals valued at $225 million (US), $115 million (Germany), and $110 million (Singapore), reinforcing its global competitiveness at enterprise scale. These milestones reflect a broader shift—from project-based delivery to long-term, high-value partnerships, and the company’s increasing capability to execute large, complex transformation programs at a global scale.

2026 Strategic Priorities: Scaling Up, AI-First, and Ecosystem Collaboration

"2026 is not about incremental progress - it is about bold execution”, shared Chu Thi Thanh Ha, FPT Software Chairwoman, FPT Corporation. “In a world defined by constant change, our strength lies in our ability to move fast, adapt continuously, and take calculated risks. This spirit of determination and agility will define how FPT scales globally and delivers greater value to clients.”

Looking ahead, the company is aligning its 2026 strategy around three key priorities:

1. Focus on High-Value Engagements

FPT is accelerating its shift toward fewer but larger, more strategic engagements—prioritising long-term transformation programs over short-term projects. In 2025, the number of contracts valued above $10 million doubled year-on-year, reflecting deeper client trust and stronger positioning in mission-critical initiatives. This momentum has already carried into 2026. In the first quarter alone, the company achieved over 22% growth in newly signed contracts in international IT services. Notably, these engagements increasingly centre on AI-led transformation, including enterprise deployments leveraging platforms such as FleziPT to move from pilot use cases to organisation-wide implementation, particularly across industries such as energy, financial services, and the public sector. This reinforces a clear shift: from project-based execution toward long-term, outcome-driven partnerships, where FPT plays a central role in shaping both technology and business transformation roadmaps.

2. Accelerate AI-First Transformation

AI is no longer an isolated capability—it is becoming a core operating layer across FPT Software’s services and internal operations. Within FPT, AI adoption has already delivered productivity improvements of approximately 30% in selected activities, demonstrating tangible operational value at scale. Supported by its AI Factory infrastructure, which has processed over 1,100 billion tokens, fine-tuned more than 70 AI models, and reached approximately 70% utilisation, the company is scaling enterprise-grade AI deployments across industries.

FleziPT is powered by global talent, partnerships and NVIDIA‑backed AI infrastructure

At the centre of this transformation is FleziPT, FPT’s AI platform that integrates tools, methodologies, and workforce enablement to accelerate AI adoption. FleziPT enables clients to:

  • Navigate complexity and regulatory risks
  • Accelerate legacy modernisation and system transformation
  • Improve productivity and operational efficiency
  • Unlock new revenue streams through AI-led innovation

This positions FPT not just as a technology provider, but as a partner in delivering end-to-end AI-enabled business outcomes. In 2026, FPT CASAN was also introduced, as a structured framework defining five levels of AI maturity: Curious → Augmented → Standard → Automatic → Native. This framework outlines the journey from early experimentation to full AI-native operations, providing clients with a clear roadmap for transformation. Importantly, most enterprises today remain in the first two stages, highlighting the scale of opportunity—and the need for partners capable of guiding end-to-end transformation.

3. Strengthen Strategic Partnerships

A defining element of FPT’s growth strategy is its ability to build and scale deep, long-term partnerships with global technology leaders—moving beyond service delivery toward a more integrated, ecosystem-driven model.

In 2026, a key milestone in this journey is the recognition as a Microsoft Frontier Partner, becoming the first Enterprise System Integrator in Southeast Asia to achieve this designation. This highly selective status reflects the company’s proven ability to deliver enterprise-scale AI and cloud transformation. More significantly, the partnership has evolved beyond technology alignment to joint execution, with FPT working alongside Microsoft to help organisations move from experimentation to scalable adoption across areas such as Copilot, data modernisation, and enterprise automation.

As Heather Gordon, Asia Chief Partner Officer, Microsoft, noted: “FPT has demonstrated deep technical excellence, disciplined delivery, and a strong commitment to responsible, secure, and scalable AI transformation. Their leadership in delivering AI‑first solutions across Cloud & AI Platforms, AI Business Solutions, and Security reinforces FPT’s position as a trusted systems integrator, helping enterprises realise meaningful outcomes as they adopt Microsoft’s AI and cloud technologies at scale.”

Complementing this, FPT has achieved the AWS Generative AI Competency, placing it among a select group of partners recognised for their ability to design, deploy, and scale production-grade generative AI solutions. This recognition reflects both technical depth and proven customer success, particularly in leveraging generative AI to enhance operational efficiency, streamline workflows, and deliver measurable business outcomes at scale.

 

FPT AI Factories in Vietnam and Japan are powered by thousands of NVIDIA HGX GPUs (H100, H200, B300)

At the infrastructure level, the company continues to deepen its partnership with NVIDIA through the expansion of FPT AI Factories, ranked among world’s top 40 fastest supercomputers with next-generation NVIDIA HGX systems, enabling advanced AI reasoning and agentic capabilities. The platform currently supports 43 AI cloud services and more than 18,000 engineers, scientists, and business users globally. This investment ensures that FPT can support not only AI development, but also enterprise-scale deployment and performance optimisation, which are increasingly critical as AI adoption moves beyond pilots.

Enabling Execution Through Speed and Organizational Agility

Beyond strategic priorities, a defining theme for this phase is execution speed. FPT is embedding a culture that encourages rapid decision-making, adaptability, and continuous innovation—enabling teams to respond effectively to shifting client needs and market conditions. This focus on agility is critical in an environment where technology cycles are shortening and competitive advantage is increasingly driven by execution rather than strategy alone.

Investing in People for Long-Term Growth

With over 54,000 employees globally, including thousands of international experts from more than 80 nationalities, FPT is scaling a diverse, globally integrated workforce. The company is reshaping its AI-first, people-first talent strategy to align with emerging technology demands—particularly in AI, cloud, and data.

This people-first approach is consistently recognised by clients. A Group Chief Information Officer at a leading energy company noted the company’s “entrepreneurial spirit, resilience, and consciously crafted people-first culture,” describing it as well aligned with the demands of transformation in the AI era.

Beyond culture, clients also highlight the depth of engineering capability and speed of execution. A Head of Engineering & Product Development at a global technology firm observed that FPT goes beyond traditional outsourcing, combining strong technology adoption with industry experience to help teams “deliver value quickly and onboard effectively.”

At the same time, long-term collaboration is reinforced by workforce stability and knowledge continuity. As a Chief Executive Officer of a Japanese company noted, high employee retention enables “stable collaboration and strong knowledge sharing,” making Vietnam—and FPT in particular—a reliable partner for sustained transformation.

Together, these perspectives reflect a key strength: the ability to integrate people, expertise, and delivery discipline to support long-term client success.
