This collaboration will involve a joint investment of $50 million over the next five years from FPT, NUS, and other stakeholders to enhance AI research and talent development in the Asia-Pacific region.

FPT has over a decade of experience in AI research and has recently announced significant investments in AI infrastructure, including a $174 million AI center and a planned $200 million AI factory in Vietnam.

The lab will be integrated into NUS's existing AI ecosystem, producing research papers and white papers for international journals and conferences.

The National University of Singapore's School of Computing has announced a partnership with FPT, a leading Vietnamese technology corporation, to establish a new AI Lab that will combine NUS's research strengths with FPT's industry expertise.

Talent development is a core aspect of the partnership, with plans for joint programs including internships, workshops, and PhD research opportunities to cultivate a skilled AI workforce.

The collaboration aims to leverage the strengths of both institutions to drive innovation and address critical industry challenges in sectors such as healthcare, banking, and logistics.

David Nguyen, CEO of FPT Asia Pacific, emphasized that the AI Lab will focus on creating groundbreaking solutions for vital industries, including healthcare and transportation.
