Accelerate product innovation in Vietnam -- ranked 6th in the WIN World AI Index 2025 and second in Southeast Asia for AI startups -- with structured AI development processes.
Vietnam ranked 6th in the WIN World AI Index 2025 and accounts for 27% of Southeast Asia's AI startups. AI startup investment grew from USD 80 million in 2024 to over USD 130 million in Q1 2025 alone, demonstrating rapid innovation ecosystem growth. The AI Law (Law 134/2025) creates a regulatory sandbox mechanism for testing innovative AI applications, and the National AI Development Fund provides additional support. The Investment Support Fund (Decree 182/2024) offers R&D subsidies for qualifying high-tech investments. Vietnam's 530,000 software developers provide a strong technical talent pool, though the 150,000-200,000 annual shortage means competition for AI engineering talent is intense.
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.
