Vietnam’s technology scene is heating up, and local AI development companies in Vietnam are at the center of this boom. The government’s AI strategy (to 2030) and global partnerships have created momentum. For example, NVIDIA is expanding into Vietnam, reflecting its confidence in the country’s tech potential. Industry reports show Vietnamese AI startups received US$80 million in private funding in 2024 (an eight-fold jump from 2023). Analysts forecast the global AI market will grow from $215 billion in 2024 to $1.3 trillion by 2030, and Vietnam’s digital economy is expected to reach $45 billion by 2025. Vietnam even ranks second in Southeast Asia for AI startups (27% of the region’s total). All this signals a ripe environment for Vietnam-based AI development firms. Here are the top 10 Vietnam-based AI development companies to watch in 2025.
