Viettel Group	—	NVIDIA DGX B200	Deployed	Press or analyst · 2026-03-19
VietnamPlus reported 22 operating DGX B200 systems at Viettel in March 2026. The science ministry’s February report dates the Hoa Lac system’s launch to February 6 and states performance of 1.5 EFLOPS at FP8. No per-GPU count is given in these accounts. Programme-level disclosure
FPT Corporation	—	NVIDIA H100 + H200	Deployed	Primary source · 2026-03-25
FPT announced a $200M AI Factory investment plan in April 2024. Its March 2026 update describes H100/H200 cloud services for customers across Vietnam and Japan and says HGX B300 access will follow. The sources do not itemise a Vietnam-only GPU count or report expenditure against the investment plan.

### External dependence NVIDIA hardware: High · US technology: High. These are editorial assessments based on the programme’s procurement disclosures. Named partners: FPT Corporation, NVIDIA, Ministry of Science and Technology, Vietnam National Innovation Center. Vietnam’s AI infrastructure includes Viettel’s DGX B200 system at Hoa Lac and FPT’s commercial H100/H200 services. The science ministry reported Viettel’s system entering operation in February 2026; FPT’s $200M AI Factory investment plan dates to April 2024. Decree 160/2025 established the National Data Development Fund with VND 1T in initial state capital for data technologies and services, including AI. A proposed National AI Development Fund is a different institution. Reports of more than $7B in proposed AI and data-centre investments describe the wider market, without a common programme budget. ### Data-quality caveats on this record · 5 - The National Data Development Fund has VND 1T in initial state capital for data technologies and services, including AI. A dated exchange-rate source has not been established for a USD conversion. - The separately proposed National AI Development Fund has no amount in the cited VietnamPlus report. - TNGlobal’s July 2026 report attributes the more-than-$7B figure to BMI’s aggregate of announced and proposed AI and data-centre investments. It is not a government allocation or a programme total. - VietnamPlus reports 22 DGX B200 systems at Viettel. This is a system count; the record does not convert it into an inferred GPU count. - FPT’s March 2026 announcement describes HGX B300 as a forthcoming service. The operating H100/H200 services and proposed B300 expansion have different delivery stages. ### The evidence trail 12 cited sources - [Vietnam’s investment ministry announcement of its December 2024 NVIDIA research-centre partnership.](https://www.mpi.gov.vn/en/Pages/2024-12-9/Vietnam-partner-with-NVIDIA-to-establish-an-AI-Resv6lq3b.aspx) — Primary source · no accessed date on record - [Lexology legal analysis of Vietnam’s AI legislation.](https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=b8c22aba-ceee-4aca-a19a-2e59db720989) — Research database · no accessed date on record - [FPT’s July 16, 2025 discussion of its AI Factory business and $200M investment plan.](https://fptcloud.com/en/fpt-ai-factory-200-million-bold-bet-on-sovereign-ai/) — Primary source · accessed 2026-03-28 - [VietnamPlus reporting on the proposed National AI Development Fund, distinct from the existing data-development fund.](https://en.vietnamplus.vn/vietnam-to-establish-national-ai-development-fund-post338685.vnp) — Press or analyst · accessed 2026-03-28 - [NVIDIA’s September 25, 2025 account of Vietnamese AI infrastructure, including FPT’s H100/H200 services.](https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/ai-day-ho-chi-minh-city/) — Primary source · accessed 2026-03-28 - [Official Decree 160/2025/NĐ-CP, June 29, 2025: data-development fund mandate (Articles 3–4) and VND 1T initial state capital (Article 8).](https://congbao.chinhphu.vn/van-ban/nghi-dinh-so-160-2025-nd-cp-45315/57222.htm) — Primary source · accessed 2026-09-08 - [Science ministry’s February 9, 2026 report on Viettel’s DGX B200 system entering operation at Hoa Lac; 1.5 EFLOPS stated at FP8.](https://mst.gov.vn/van-hanh-he-thong-sieu-may-tinh-nvidia-dgx-b200-dau-tien-do-viet-nam-so-huu-197260209085410804.htm) — Primary source · accessed 2026-09-08 - [VietnamPlus’s March 19, 2026 report of 22 operating DGX B200 systems at Viettel.](https://en.vietnamplus.vn/viettel-partners-with-nvidia-to-build-sovereign-ai-ecosystem-post339518.vnp) — Press or analyst · accessed 2026-09-08 - [FPT’s April 23, 2024 announcement of a $200M AI Factory investment plan with NVIDIA.](https://fpt.com/en/news/fpt-to-shape-the-future-of-ai-and-cloud-on-a-global-scale-in-collaboration-with-nvidia) — Primary source · accessed 2026-09-08 - [FPT’s March 25, 2026 announcement of planned HGX B300 availability alongside existing H100/H200 services.](https://factory.fpt.ai/news/fpt-ai-factory-accelerates-ai-reasoning-capabilities-across-southeast-asia-and-japan-with-nvidia) — Primary source · accessed 2026-09-08 - [TNGlobal’s July 20, 2026 report on BMI’s aggregate of proposed AI and data-centre investments in Vietnam.](https://technode.global/2026/07/20/vietnam-emerges-as-seas-next-data-center-contender-amid-regional-capacity-shift-bmi/) — Press or analyst · accessed 2026-09-08 - [NVIDIA’s December 5, 2024 announcement of a Vietnam R&D centre focused on AI software.](https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-to-open-vietnam-r-d-center-to-bolster-ai-development) — Primary source · accessed 2026-09-08 Machine access The same record, machine-readable: the [evidence-trail feed](https://scrutica.com/sovereign-ai/program/sovereign-vn/feed.xml) and the [derivation-chain export](https://scrutica.com/api/sovereign-programs/derivation-chain/vn).
