The executive from NEC Solution Innovators (NES) emphasized that businesses today must navigate two transformative forces: rising geopolitical fragmentation and the rapid evolution of AI. These shifts demand a move from reactive strategies to proactive resilience, especially through strategic diversification. Vietnam was highlighted as a key partner due to its geopolitical neutrality, strong STEM talent, and a culture of co-creation—making it an ideal base for innovation and business continuity.

NES introduced its AI governance framework, AITRISM, designed to ensure responsible AI usage through prompt tracking, departmental rule-setting, and risk scoring. This aligns with growing global concerns over digital sovereignty, particularly in sensitive sectors like healthcare and defense. He also stressed the importance of developing custom LLMs tailored to industry-specific needs, supported by domain expertise and trusted partners.

FPT was chosen as NES’s strategic digital partner for its robust AI talent pool, agile governance, and advanced infrastructure. Since 2023, the two companies have collaborated on AI talent development and digital transformation. NES sees FPT not just as a vendor, but as a co-creator in building sovereign, human-centered AI solutions that align with NES' vision for a sustainable, secure, and inclusive digital future.
