The PICT, a South Korean AI-driven digital twin and immersive content company, has established GEO Impact, its new branch in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s southern economic hub.

This strategic expansion addresses Southeast Asia's growing demand for smart city technology while accelerating The PICT's global market presence, the firm said in a statement.

The PICT is a South Korean company specializing in AI-powered digital twin solutions and immersive content development, dedicated to solving regional challenges and advancing digital transformation in smart cities.

According to the statement, the new HCMC branch is part of The PICT’s plan to support Vietnam's national ambitions, particularly in over 100 smart city projects aimed at improving urban safety, transportation, and environmental management.

Leveraging its proprietary NDS digital twin platform, The PICT offers simulations that tackle critical environmental challenges in the Mekong Delta, including coastal erosion, sea-level rise, and land subsidence.

Collaborating with the IH Cantabria Marine Research Institute, the platform integrates over a decade of GIS (Geographic Information System) data, 3D visualization, and machine learning to deliver real-time insights, enabling Vietnamese authorities to make data-driven decisions and enhance city-wide monitoring capabilities.

MB Kang, chief operating officer of The PICT, said: “With Vietnam's dedication to smart city development, we believe our AI-based solutions will create immense social value and enhance urban safety and efficiency.”

The PICT continues to evolve, broadening its offerings beyond VR and AR content to digital innovations that streamline operational workflows and support smart city initiatives.
