Global technology company FPT Software, a subsidiary of FPT Corporation, and Japanese transportation conglomerate Subaru Corporation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a strategic partnership to foster innovation and development.

According to the MoU, FPT Software will leverage its technological capabilities and global market experience to advance digital transformation for Subaru’s in-house information systems and in-car systems in terms of factory software, legacy system upgrades, system operation automation, infrastructure, security, and promote the application of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Process Automation.

FPT Software aims to build an ecosystem to supply a skilled workforce for Subaru's operations by tapping into Việt Nam's abundant human resources and educational institutions.

The two companies also plan to conduct personnel exchanges and participate in joint events to further strengthen their partnership, with the potential to promote the use of electric vehicles (EVs) in Việt Nam and Japan, serving Subaru’s vision of having battery EVs make up half of its sales by 2030.

Đỗ Văn Khắc, Senior Executive Vice President of FPT Software and CEO of FPT Japan, said: “With our high-quality resources and strong technological expertise, FPT Software is confident in helping Subaru achieve the leading position in manufacturing innovation and value creation.

"We plan to allocate 200 people to support Subaru in 2025 and look forward to a more comprehensive partnership.” — VNS
