To further support French companies in addressing global challenges, FPT Chairman also proposed a co-location strategy, encouraging French businesses to establish a presence in markets where FPT actively expands its workforce.

“While France and Vietnam face some different challenges, we also tackle similar ones in sustainable development, industrial digitalization, and social transformation. That is why we encourage forum members to establish ventures and partnerships in both countries, and aim to attract more French companies, from large firms to SMEs, to develop business in Vietnam, while encouraging Vietnamese corporations to expand into France,” said Mr. Benoit Clocheret, Artelia Executive Chairman.

The forum featured roundtable discussions that delved into market insights, business expertise, and opportunities for bilateral collaboration. Representatives from Vietnam and French businesses expressed strong interest in forming strategic partnerships in key areas such as sustainable energy, urban development, modern transportation, healthcare, retail, IT talent training, and financial services.

As a representative of Vietnam’s IT sector, FPT Executive Vice President Pham Minh Tuan emphazised FPT’s key differentiator of comprehensive ecosystem, with education system covering from elementary to university level, providing training not only in languages and advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, but also business etiquettes that enables people to work effectively across diverse cultures. “Looking into the future, FPT commits to generating millions of jobs for the young generation, and building successful partnerships with French enterprises in any form of collaboration, not only in Vietnam but also for the global market”, he said.

At the event, FPT and Odyssey Education signed a Letter of Intent to introduce a high-quality French education program into Vietnam’s academic system. Odyssey Education is a renowned French international education group specializing in providing French curricula across Europe, North Africa, and Southeast Asia, as well as a partner of The Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE).

France was the first European country that FPT expanded into in 2008. The company has since collaborated with global leaders, including Airbus, La Poste, Air Liquide, Quadient, Canal+, Sagemcom, SNCF, Geopost, and more. In 2023, FPT’s French subsidiary was recognized among France’s Top 100 ICT Companies, underscoring its growing influence in the country. That same year, FPT deepened its local capabilities by acquiring a majority stake in AOSIS, a French IT consulting firm specializing in SAP, Data, Cloud, and smart solutions for the aerospace, aviation, and transportation sectors. To further strengthen cultural and professional ties, FPT also launched the FPT Francophone Association, aimed at developing French-speaking talent and fostering business and cultural exchange. Most recently, in May 2025, FPT was the only Vietnamese company to participate in the Choose France Summit in Paris, affirming its long-term commitment to the French and European markets, and expressing interest in strategic partnerships in AI, semiconductors, transportation, energy, and education.
