FPT Corporation, a global technology company, recently announced the opening of its first office in Stockholm, Sweden. This strategic move comes in response to the country’s increasing demand for digital services and highly skilled IT professionals in critical sectors such as healthcare, automotive, banking and finance, and green transformation.
The inauguration ceremony took place during the Vietnam-Sweden Business Forum in Stockholm, Sweden. The new office is located in the Lindholmen Science Park in Gothenburg, Sweden’s leading innovation hub with a vibrant ecosystem of over 375 leading companies. This positioning allows FPT to be closer to industry giants, particularly in the automotive, energy, and manufacturing sectors, such as Volvo Group, Ericsson, Telia, SAAB, IBM, and Semcon. By expanding its local presence, delivery capabilities, and consulting services in Scandinavia and the wider European region, FPT aims to strengthen its foothold in the Nordic market.
Sweden is renowned for its leadership in digital transformation, boasting a robust innovation ecosystem and a comprehensive AI-focused strategy for cross-sector collaboration and investment. The proactive measures taken by the Swedish government to address the digital skills shortage, including attracting foreign technology companies and leveraging international talent, create an ideal environment for FPT to establish its presence and capitalize on the country’s growth opportunities. Additionally, the IT company plans to hire 1,000 professionals worldwide over the next three years to cater to the dynamic European market.
The office inauguration was part of the Vietnamese-Swedish Business Forum, celebrating the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations and highlighting the shared vision of both countries to enhance economic and trade relations. The event, hosted by the Vietnamese Embassy in Sweden and FPT, featured discussions on expanding Vietnamese-Swedish cooperation in digital transformation, innovation, automotive, and energy transition. Key attendees included H.E. Tran Van Tuan, Ambassador of Vietnam to Sweden, Camilla Mellander, Director-General for Trade Policy at the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and representatives from 50 government agencies and organizations, including Volvo Cars, Swedbank, Swedfund, Syre, and Vilja Solutions.
„Sweden was the first Western country to establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam, and our longstanding partnership is built on mutual respect and a shared vision for growth and innovation. As a leading Vietnamese company, FPT is committed to deepening this relationship by harnessing Vietnam’s highly skilled and imaginative IT workforce to drive technological collaborations, particularly in AI, semiconductors, automotive, and green transformation. Our new office will serve as a crucial bridge connecting businesses on both sides, enabling Nordic clients to innovate and grow with cutting-edge technologies, comprehensive solutions, and access to a world-class talent pool,“ said Dr. Truong Gia Binh, Founder and Chairman of FPT Corporation.
„The Vietnamese Embassy in Sweden views the opening of an office by FPT in Sweden as a positive step in cooperation between the two countries in the fields of science and technology. FPT’s activities in Sweden will help local companies not only get to know FPT better but also Vietnamese companies in general, thus forming a bridge for further cooperation activities between the two countries. This is also an important event contributing to the celebration of the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Sweden,“ said H.E. Tran Van Tuan, the Ambassador of Vietnam to Sweden.
FPT first entered the European market in 2008 and has since established a strong presence in nine countries, driving digital transformation for over 150 leading companies across various industries. The technology company has actively expanded its local presence through strategic partnerships and acquisitions, including the acquisition of RWE IT Slovakia, a subsidiary of the European energy giant RWE, in 2014, and the French IT consulting firm AOSIS in 2023.
The new FPT office in Sweden is located at Uni3 by Geely Building, Pumpgatan 1, 417 55 Gothenburg, Sweden.
