Global technology corporation FPT has recently announced the opening of its first office in Stockholm, Sweden.

This strategic move is driven by the country's increasing demand for digital services and high-quality IT professionals in its critical areas, including healthcare, automotive, banking and finance and green transformation.

Sweden, renowned for its leadership in digital transformation, boasts a robust innovation ecosystem and a comprehensive AI-focused strategy for cross-sector collaboration and investment. The Swedish government's proactive measures to address the digital skills shortage, including attracting foreign tech players and utilising international talent, create an ideal environment for FPT to establish its presence and capitalise on the country's growth opportunities.

The IT firm also plans to build a workforce of 1,000 professionals globally in the next three years, dedicated to serving the dynamic European market.

The office inauguration occurred during the Vietnam-Sweden Business Forum, which celebrated 55 years of diplomatic relations and highlighted the shared vision of both nations to advance economic and trade ties.

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 businesses across industries. The tech firm has also actively expanded its local footprint through strategic partnerships and acquisitions, including the acquisition of RWE IT Slovakia, a subsidiary of European energy giant RWE, in 2014, and French IT consulting firm AOSIS in 2023. — VNS
