AI Funding: Government Grants in Vietnam

Yes, the AI Law specifically creates a regulatory sandbox mechanism for testing innovative AI applications. Government agencies can apply to test AI solutions in a controlled environment before full deployment. We help you structure sandbox proposals and document outcomes to support the transition from sandbox to production deployment.

The National Digital Transformation Program targets top-50 E-Government status by 2030, while the AI Law requires governance safeguards. We help agencies develop AI implementation roadmaps that simultaneously advance digital transformation goals and embed the risk classification, conformity assessment, and human oversight requirements of the AI Law.

Vietnam's AI Law, effective March 2026, introduces a risk-based classification system (high, medium, low risk). High-risk AI systems require mandatory pre-market conformity assessments and human oversight. We help you assess which classification applies to your use case and prepare the necessary governance documentation before enforcement begins.

Southeast Asian governments offer substantial funding through programmes like Malaysia's HRDF, Singapore's SkillsFuture, and Indonesia's Kartu Prakerja, among others. We help you identify which programmes your organisation qualifies for, prepare compelling applications, and manage the claims process so you can significantly reduce the cost of your AI adoption initiatives.

Coverage varies by programme and eligibility, but many organisations recover 50-80% of their training investment through government subsidies. Our team navigates the application and claims process for you, maximising your approval chances and reimbursement amounts. We handle the complexity so you can focus on the training itself and the business outcomes it delivers.

Coverage varies significantly by country and programme, but organisations across Southeast Asia commonly recover 50 to 90 percent of eligible training costs through schemes like HRDF in Malaysia, SkillsFuture in Singapore, and Kartu Prakerja in Indonesia. We help you navigate the application process, identify the programmes you qualify for, and prepare documentation that maximises your approval rate. Many of our clients are surprised by how much funding is available once they know where to look.

We prepare a complete grant application package tailored to each programme you qualify for, including a training needs analysis aligned with the grant criteria, a detailed budget breakdown showing eligible expenses, projected business impact statements, and all required supporting documentation. You also receive a compliance calendar outlining reporting deadlines and claim submission windows so your finance team can manage the reimbursement process confidently. For organisations applying to multiple grant programmes simultaneously, we provide a coordination plan that ensures each application is positioned to maximise approval likelihood without creating conflicting commitments or reporting burdens across schemes.
