FPT’s two decades of operation in Japan reflect a journey of resilience, partnership and shared vision for innovation between Vietnam and Japan. From a modest overseas venture, FPT has grown into one of the country’s largest foreign-invested tech firms and a trusted digital transformation partner for enterprises across industries.
FPT Japan’s 20th anniversary took place in Tokyo, gathering FPT executives, employees, and distinguished representatives from Japanese businesses.
From Small Beginnings to a World-class IT Company
Entering the Japanese market was a pivotal success in FPT’s globalization journey. In 2005, FPT became the first Vietnamese IT company to establish a legal entity in Japan. From its first office in Osaka, FPT has steadily expanded its presence and now boasts 17 offices and development centres across Japan, in cities such as Tokyo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Okinawa. Today, FPT is among Japan’s largest foreign-invested technology companies in terms of human resources.

In Japan, FPT has maintained consistent growth of at least 30% annually and has surpassed USD 500 million in revenue in 2024 despite economic and geopolitical headwinds. Aligned with FPT’s strategic directions, this momentum is anchored in high-impact domains such as Legacy Modernization, ERP Optimization, Automotive Software, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

FPT has further strengthened its ecosystem through strategic investments and partnerships in the market. The company’s acquisition of Next Advanced Communications (NAC) expanded its customer base and service portfolio, marking its first merger & acquisition deal in Japan. The launch of Data and AI Integration Center and FPT AI Factory in collaboration with NVIDIA further positioned the company as a global AI system integrator.

FPT has also deepened its collaboration with Japanese industry leaders through joint ventures with SCSK Corporation, Konica Minolta, and OKI, enabling the co-creation of advanced solutions focusing on such domains as automotive, legacy modernization, office management, and more. From consulting and system integration to cutting-edge technologies such as AI, Cloud, Big Data, Blockchain, and VR/XR, the company has delivered end-to-end services and solutions to over 450 global customers, helping them streamline operations, build resilience, and enhance global competitiveness.

He emphasized FPT’s position as one of Japan’s largest foreign-invested tech firms and a trusted AI global system integrator, as well as reaffirmed the company’s commitment to strengthening the natural Japan–Vietnam alliance and co-creating innovations that shape the future.
Nurturing Future-Ready Talent to Power Japan’s Digital Transformation
FPT Japan Academy was founded in 2019
As Japan faces an aging workforce and growing demand for digital talent, FPT recognized early on that education would be the key to maintaining sustainable growth. The establishment of FPT University in 2006 and FPT Japan Academy in 2019 were among the efforts for training ICT professionals proficient in both technology and the Japanese language. In recent years, FPT has expanded this vision by opening an education representative office in Japan and setting a goal of developing a workforce of 13,500 highly skilled, Japanese-proficient employees by 2027, reaffirming its commitment to talent development and academic cooperation for Vietnam, Japan and beyond.
FPT currently has nearly 5,000 employees of 28 nationalities in Japan, supported by 15,000 employees serving Japanese customers worldwide. The company’s people-centric culture and emphasis on inclusion have earned it prestigious recognitions, including Best Places to Work in Japan, Best Places to Work for Women, and the D&I Award 2024 for outstanding diversity and inclusion efforts.
A Bridge Connecting Vietnam-Japan Business and Technology Collaboration
Over the past two decades, the company has not only built trusted partnerships but also served as a bridge between Vietnam and Japan, promoting mutual understanding, shared innovation, and Vietnam's growing prominence on the global tech landscape.
FPT’s co-founding role in the Vietnam-Japan Digital Transformation Association (VADX Japan) reflects the commitment to enhancing cooperation and development in digital technology, establishing distinctive global positions for both nations. FPT has also inspired many Vietnamese IT firms to follow its footsteps into international markets, contributing to the growing reputation of Vietnam as a global digital hub.
