(VOVWORLD) - “Silicon Delta - The Story of Vietnam’s Tech Revolution,” the latest documentary on Vietnam and its leading tech corporation, FPT, has premiered on Discovery Channel and is available in 10 languages, including English, Japanese, German, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese.
 The documentary highlights FPT's global growth, from its inception to the opening of its first international office, and how it keeps innovating to tackle future challenges. |
The half-hour documentary traces Vietnam’s emergence to become Southeast Asia's fastest-growing digital economy. It offers a chronological view of Vietnam's evolution, current achievements, and positive future outlook, with the potential to become a global workforce powerhouse.
The documentary is comprised of three parts. The first part features Vietnam’s entrepreneurial spirit and economic reform which paved the way for the founding of FPT, its breakthrough deal, and the crucial decision to expand globally.
The second part highlights obstacles during the 1990s dot-com boom which led FPT to shift its direction, with a historic client meeting in Japan, setting the stage for the creation of FPT's education system for future innovators.
The last part sheds light on FPT’s pursuit of advancements in digital transformation, AI, automotive, and semiconductors.
FPT Founder and Chairman Dr. Truong Gia Binh said that over 20 years ago, no one believed Vietnam could develop software for the world. Today, FPT and other IT companies have proven Vietnam's place in global digital tech.
Binh said that Vietnam now has 1 million IT engineers, half of whom are programmers. If Vietnam focuses on semiconductors and AI, it can meet both domestic and global demand, he added.
