The MoU marks a significant milestone in Indonesia’s commitment to harnessing emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), green technology, and smart city solutions to drive inclusive and sustainable national development. This partnership also highlights FPT’s commitment to the Indonesian market since 2012, further strengthened after the recently upgraded comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Indonesia.  

Under this five-year agreement, the two parties will collaborate on a wide range of strategic initiatives aimed at accelerating Indonesia’s digital transformation. This includes the joint development of national and sectoral digital transformation strategies, with a focus on enhancing digital governance through the implementation of e-Government systems, Smart Planning frameworks, and e-Monitoring platforms.  

A key pillar of the collaboration is digital talent development. The parties will design and implement comprehensive upskilling and reskilling programs in critical areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, software engineering, and data science. These programs will target civil servants, students, and young professionals across Indonesia to build a future-ready workforce.  

The partnership will also drive joint innovation through pilot projects using AI, green tech, and smart agriculture to tackle challenges in urban management and sustainability. FPT will offer strategic advice and policy input to help shape Indonesia’s digital economy, focusing on sectors like logistics, fintech, and digital infrastructure.  

Finally, the agreement promotes academic and cultural exchange by creating opportunities for Indonesian and Vietnamese students and faculty to collaborate through FPT’s global education network, further strengthening people-to-people ties and knowledge sharing between the two nations.  

This partnership stems from discussions held during the visit of the Indonesian government delegation to FPT in April 2025, led by H.E. Rachmat Pambudy, Indonesia's Minister of National Development Planning and Head of the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas). During the visit, both sides explored new avenues for collaboration, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence and talent development. With this collaboration, FPT expects to support Indonesia’s Golden Indonesia 2045 vision, which identifies AI as a key driver of future economic growth.  

“This MoU is more than just ceremonial. It is a strategic step towards a solid partnership between Indonesia and Vietnam. In order to fulfill the Golden Indonesia 2045 Vision, we must harness technology, strengthen our industrial base, and invest in future digital talent,” explained the Minister of National Development Planning/Head of Bappenas Rachmat Pambudy, on Thursday, 12 June.  

The Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas hopes this cooperation will further solidify the foundation for Indonesia and Vietnam to become leading digital powers in Southeast Asia. “Through this collaboration, we are not only strengthening our national technological capacity but also creating a shared future that is inclusive, sustainable, and rich in innovation for both Indonesia and Vietnam,” concluded Minister Rachmat.  

“FPT is deeply honored to partner with the Government of Indonesia on this transformative journey. Our commitment goes beyond technology. We are here to co-create a future where digital innovation empowers people, strengthens economies, and drives sustainable growth,” Nguyen Van Khoa, FPT Corporation CEO, affirmed. “Together with the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas, we aim to build a resilient digital ecosystem that not only supports Indonesia’s national vision but also contributes to a more connected and digitally advanced Southeast Asia and Asia-Pacific region.”  

FPT entered the Indonesian market in 2017 and has since then affirmed its position as a trusted IT partner. The company recently signed a $67 million USD agreement with KMP Aryadhana and an AI partnership with Indonesia’s state-owned oil and natural gas corporation, Pertamina, amid Vietnam General Secretary H.E. To Lam to Indonesia in March 2025. FPT currently boasts 200 technology experts and two major offices in Indonesia, with a third one planned for opening this year.
