On August 25, 2023, Sunteco Joint Stock Company and VinBigData Joint Stock Company signed a Strategic and Technological Cooperation Agreement, with the expectation of jointly developing business activities and enhancing the competitiveness of their products and services in the market.
The world is entering an intense competition to build a digital economy, a digital society, and digital citizens. Vietnam is no exception to this race, making significant strides to compete on par with leading nations worldwide. This includes adopting cutting-edge technologies such as AI, Blockchain, and Machine Learning, as well as striving for technological mastery to create an ecosystem of “Make in Vietnam” products and services.
From the aspiration to master technology…
Founded based on the scientific research achievements of the Institute of Big Data Research (established in August 2018), VinBigData—a subsidiary of Vingroup—has always carried the ambition of providing customers with the most advanced Vietnamese technology products of world-class quality. To realize this vision, VinBigData recognizes that collaborating with capable technology partners is the optimal path to enhancing competitiveness and meeting the increasingly high demands of customers.
In this pursuit, VinBigData has chosen to partner with SUNTECO—a technology company with extensive experience gained through numerous successful projects with partners and enterprises across various industries.
Mr. Đào Đức Minh – CEO of VinBigData JSC Speaks at the Signing Ceremony
Speaking at the Strategic and Technological Cooperation Signing Ceremony, Mr. Đào Đức Minh – CEO of VinBigData JSC, stated:
“VinBigData has high expectations for this collaboration with SUNTECO. Although both companies are still relatively young, through our work together, I have realized that VinBigData and SUNTECO share many similarities in our missions. We are both committed to developing technologies by Vietnamese people, for Vietnamese people, serving millions of customers in Vietnam, and ultimately creating broader value. This shared vision is what has brought our two companies together today and will drive us toward a stronger and more comprehensive partnership in the future.”
Mr. Nguyễn Lê Châu – CEO of Sunteco JSC at the Signing Ceremony
“Over the past two years, VinBigData has transformed from a technology-driven company into a provider of advanced products and solutions, which has left a deep impression on me. I am eager to accompany and support VinBigData in its journey to deliver meaningful products to the community. In Vietnam, there are not many companies with the potential and resources that VinBigData possesses. Likewise, not every organization has the infrastructure and data centers that meet high standards like SUNTECO and Hanoi Telecom. The collaboration between two companies mastering core technologies will yield the most optimal, valuable, and impactful results for businesses,” shared Mr. Nguyễn Lê Châu, CEO of Sunteco JSC.
… Toward a Partnership in Building a Leading Technology Ecosystem
The partnership between SUNTECO—a pioneer in cloud computing technology—and VinBigData—a leader in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science—sets the stage for a new direction in a comprehensive, long-term, and mutually beneficial collaboration across multiple fields. Both companies will formalize cooperation initiatives, develop joint products and services, and implement plans to achieve set objectives.
Beyond its technological excellence, SUNTECO holds significant advantages with its extensive infrastructure, including a 17,000 km North-South fiber optic backbone and seven international fiber optic connections—four terrestrial and three undersea cables. Moreover, SUNTECO operates the first Uptime Tier III-certified data center in Vietnam, ensuring top-tier design and construction standards in Southeast Asia. By leveraging these strengths, SUNTECO has successfully developed a cloud platform with rapid application scaling capabilities, meeting the stringent low-latency and high-performance data processing requirements of VinBigData.
Representatives of Both Companies Visit the Data Center
Mr. Nguyễn Quý Hà, Director of the Image Analysis Technology Division at VinBigData, shared his thoughts on SUNTECO’s capabilities:
“I find the infrastructure at EcoDC to be outstanding compared to other data centers I have visited—very impressive. VinBigData is actively looking for solutions to ensure system stability for our customers, and I see SUNTECO as a highly promising partner.”
Mr. Nguyễn Kim Anh, Director of the Virtual Assistant Technology Division at VinBigData, expressed his expectations for the collaboration:
“VinBase is a platform designed to package VinBigData’s core AI technologies. Currently, we are deploying VinBase on an international cloud provider’s infrastructure, which is quite good but still has certain limitations. In the future, our partnership with SUNTECO will open new opportunities, allowing VinBigData to leverage SUNTECO’s cloud platform—one that aligns better with the ‘Vietnamese technology for Vietnamese people’ vision.”
SUNTECO’s Vision for Cloud Services
Speaking about SUNTECO’s service development strategy, Mr. Phan Hoàng Giáp, Director of Solutions, stated:
“SUNTECO aims to provide services that enable businesses to deploy their systems efficiently and fully harness the power of cloud computing, minimizing infrastructure and operational management efforts. This allows enterprises to focus entirely on developing their applications. Apart from building a robust cloud platform, we recognize that security is a top concern for customers migrating to the cloud. Therefore, we are continuously enhancing our security protocols and strengthening system protection measures to ensure the highest level of data security.”
The Signing Ceremony of the Cooperation Agreement Between SUNTECO and VinBigdata Was Successfully Held

This collaboration aims to provide the best experiences for customers while reaffirming the commitment of both parties to greater efforts and responsibility.
