PM celebrates groundbreaking of $300 mln tech hub in Hà Nội
At the heart of the complex is the CMC Data Centre, designed to deploy cutting-edge technologies in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, big data, and next-generation networks.
HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính on Sunday attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the Hà Nội CMC Creative Space (CCS Hà Nội), a US$300 million technology complex hailed as a key part of Việt Nam’s push for innovation and digital transformation.
The project, led by private firm CMC Technology & Solution, located on an 11,000sq.m site in Hà Nội, will feature 23 floors above ground and three basements, with a total floor space exceeding 90,000sq.m.
Following the success of CMC’s first creative space in HCM City - CCS Tân Thuận, this second facility will serve as an open artificial intelligence centre, dubbed C.OpenAI. It aims to house a comprehensive tech ecosystem, including a state-of-the-art data centre, research and development labs, training facilities, and a startup incubation zone, employing over 5,000 engineers.
At the heart of the complex is the CMC Data Centre, designed to deploy cutting-edge technologies in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, big data, and next-generation networks. The C.OpenAI ecosystem will also integrate 25 core technologies developed by CMC.
In his address, PM Chính praised the project as a testament to the private sector’s role in advancing Việt Nam’s technological ambitions, aligning with the Party’s policy of making breakthroughs in sci-tech, innovation, and digital transformation.
With Việt Nam targeting at least 8 per cent economic growth in 2025 and double-digit expansion thereafter, he called for national unity to drive prosperity, safeguard its independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
He urged CMC to lead in sci-tech, innovation and digital transformation, inspiring other businesses, educational establishments, and research centres, particularly young people, to contribute to Việt Nam’s rapid and sustainable development. He expressed his hope that CMC would grow into a major multinational corporation integrated into global value chains while prioritising social welfare and equitable access to technology, especially for remote and vulnerable communities.
The Government will always accompany companies, including CMC, and request ministries, agencies, and Hà Nội authorities to further support them by promptly removing any obstacles to their growth, he concluded. VNS
