Binh Dinh’s Information and Communications Technology Center has been incorporated as a member of Ho Chi Minh City’s Quang Trung Software City in order to become a prime artificial intelligence (AI) hub in the central province.
Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has signed a decision to make the center part of Quang Trung Software City (QTSC), said Binh Dinh Investment Promotion Center Director Nguyen Bay.
The center includes its head office covering more than 1,100 square meters, and the 54-hectare QTSC Binh Dinh Park, both located in Quy Nhon town.
"The inclusion of the center into QTSC aims to attract investment and further develop information technology toward the establishment of an AI center in Quy Nhon," he said.
The Binh Dinh People's Committee has approved FPT Software as the investor for a project the Vietnamese software giant will use as a center for research, production, and training.
FPT Software will spend more than VND2 trillion (over $84.8 million) developing the 15.3-hectare site in Quy Nhon which will include a training academy, a life skills training center for global citizens, and a short-term accommodation area for experts and workers.
The corporation plans construction via three phases - until Q4/2025; Q1/2026 to Q4/2028; and Q1/2029 to Q4/2030.
In 2018, the provincial administration allowed TMA Solution Software Co. Ltd. to build the TMA Innovation Park covering 15.7 hectares in Quy Nhon with investment of more than VND154 billion (over $6.53 million).
