AI Landscape in Vietnam

Vietnam's events and MICE sector is growing rapidly as the country positions itself as a regional business hub, with the digital economy reaching USD 36 billion in 2024. The Personal Data Protection Law effective January 2026 introduces strict consent requirements for attendee data processing, with penalties up to 5% of revenue. The Cybersecurity Law requires foreign platforms providing internet services in Vietnam to store user data locally for 24 months, affecting international event management platforms. Vietnam's AI Law (Law 134/2025) mandates human oversight in AI decisions, which impacts automated attendee matching and engagement scoring systems. Only 15-20% of the broader workforce has business-level English, making Vietnamese-language event technology and bilingual support essential for domestic events.

Key Challenges in Vietnam

  • Personal Data Protection Law complianceVietnam's Personal Data Protection Law effective January 2026 introduces revenue-based penalties up to 5% for data violations. Organisations must implement explicit consent mechanisms, 72-hour breach notification, and impact assessments for cross-border data transfers.
  • AI Law risk classification preparationThe AI Law (Law 134/2025) establishes a risk-based classification system requiring conformity assessments for high-risk AI. Organisations must evaluate which of their AI applications fall into high-risk categories and prepare governance documentation accordingly.
  • Vietnamese-language training and toolsOnly 15-20% of Vietnam's workforce has business-level English. AI training programmes and tools must be delivered in Vietnamese with localised examples to achieve meaningful adoption across teams.
  • Scaling AI beyond the 13.8% benchmarkWhile 73% of Vietnamese companies have adopted AI, only 13.8% have deployed at scale. Organisations need structured rollout frameworks to move beyond pilots and achieve enterprise-wide AI deployment.

Why Pertama Partners in Vietnam

While Vietnamese market leaders like FPT (USD 2.47 billion revenue, USD 7.7 billion market cap) and VinAI (top-20 global AI R&D) offer strong local capability, and global consultancies (McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte, KPMG, EY, Accenture) provide enterprise advisory, Pertama Partners occupies a distinctive position: we combine cross-ASEAN regulatory expertise spanning the AI Law, PDPL, and Cybersecurity Law with structured, practitioner-led training methodology validated across multiple Southeast Asian markets. Unlike large consultancies, we focus exclusively on practical AI capability building rather than theoretical advisory. Unlike local tech companies, we bring regulatory knowledge across ASEAN jurisdictions, enabling Vietnamese enterprises expanding regionally to build consistent AI governance frameworks.

Vietnamese-language delivery is essential: only 15-20% of the workforce has business-level English proficiency. All training materials, exercises, and documentation must be provided in Vietnamese with bilingual facilitators available. Vietnamese corporate training culture traditionally favours lecture-based, instructor-led methods; however, AI training benefits from hands-on labs and practical demonstrations. We recommend a blended approach: structured presentations followed by guided hands-on practice with Vietnamese-language AI tools. Delivery should focus on practical application to Vietnamese business contexts, with case studies drawn from local industry examples where possible. Delivery is recommended in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, where 90% of Vietnam's tech talent and business headquarters are concentrated.
