Nvidia, Vietnam govt sign pact to jointly build AI research, data centres

Nvidia and the Vietnamese government will jointly set up an AI research and development centre and an AI data centre in the Southeast Asian country under an agreement signed on Thursday.

Nvidia also said it has acquired healthcare startup VinBrain, a unit of Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup, but didn’t provide the value of the deal.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said during a visit to Hanoi a year ago that the artificial intelligence chipmaker wanted to expand its partnerships with Vietnam’s top tech firms and support the country in training talent for developing AI and digital infrastructure.
