To meet the urgent societal need for skilled professionals in the rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence (AI), FPT Smart Cloud with Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT) have partnered to develop a training program for Vietnam’s first AI department.

At Hanoi campus, PTIT held a ceremony to announce the establishment and launch of its AI department. During the event, Prof. Dr. Tu Minh Phuong (Chairman of the PTIT Council) and Mr. Nguyen The Phuong (Chairman of FPT Smart Cloud) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for cooperation between the two organizations in research, training, and workforce development in AI. The event was attended by Minister Nguyen Manh Hung, Deputy Ministers Phan Tam, Nguyen Huy Dung, Nguyen Thanh Lam, Bui Hoang Phuong, and other senior officials from the Ministry of Information and Communications. Highlighting the importance of AI, Minister Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized the need for PTIT’s AI training program to be continuously updated, aligning with global university curricula, to meet the real needs of businesses and societal trends. According to the MoU signed by the highest leadership of both organizations, FPT Smart Cloud will assist PTIT in designing and developing undergraduate and postgraduate AI programs to address the demand for high-quality human resources in society. As a leading technology enterprise pioneering AI research and application in Vietnam and the region, FPT Smart Cloud is committed to supporting PTIT in advanced scientific research and technology transfer in AI. Specifically, FPT Smart Cloud will organize study tours, scientific seminars for faculty and students on AI, and implement talent incubation programs to develop national digital talent. “We are honored to be trusted and fully support research, internships, and technology transfer activities, helping students acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to become experts in AI,” said Mr. Nguyen The Phuong, Chairman of FPT Smart Cloud. FPT Smart Cloud, serving millions of users across 15 countries, aims to become a “nursery” for young Vietnamese talents ready to innovate, create, and master technology. Building on a solid foundation from FPT Group’s 35 years of core technology development, FPT Smart Cloud plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of IT human resources in Vietnam and contributing to the development of the digital society.

As the only university directly under the Ministry of Information and Communications, PTIT is a leading ICT training institution in the country with 30,000 students across two campuses in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The new AI department will not only train top specialists in AI but also serve as a research and development center for advanced technological solutions, addressing the urgent need for skilled professionals in the growing AI sector. The new faculty will lead in AI training and also support other departments in AI specialization within the university.
