The documentary showcases FPT’s international expansion from its early days to establishing its first international presence and how FPT continually innovates to meet the challenges ahead.
The show covers three distinct eras for the company.
Early days: Việt Nam’s entrepreneurial spirit and economic reform paved the way for the founding of FPT, its breakthrough deals and the crucial decision to expand globally.
Global expansion and new horizons: Obstacles during the 1990s dot-com boom 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.
Resilience and innovation: FPT’s pursuit of advancements in digital transformation, AI, automotive and semiconductors sectors and the spirit of pushing forward continues to contribute to Việt Nam’s overall tech development.
FPT Founder and Chairman Dr Trương Gia Bình said: "FPT was founded as a means for survival and it was the ambition to uplift a nation from poverty and showcase Việt Nam’s intelligence to the world that fuelled our growth.
"Today, we remain steadfast in our commitment to this legacy, continuously building a highly skilled workforce, especially in AI, semiconductors and automotive technology, to lead both Việt Nam and global transformation movements.”
FPT Software Chairwoman Chu Thi Thanh Hà said: "This documentary captures the collective commitment and relentless efforts of many FPT generations who dared to dream big and act boldly.
"Twenty five years ago, we made a proud decision to ‘Go global or die,’ a bold move crucial for our fate and a game-changer for Việt Nam at that time.
"Today, this daring spirit remains embedded in the DNA of every FPT member and will continue to be passed on to future generations as we venture into new frontiers in technology and innovation.” — VNS
