Located in Liangqing District, FPT Software’s new delivery center is close to many top universities, spanning many majors from business and technology to social studies. This allows FPT Software to work closer with local university and university and educational institution partners to grow a robust talent pool, tapping the region’s growing IT industry. Additionally, as the capital of Guangxi Province, Nanning is only 380 kilometers away from Hanoi, Vietnam. 

The strategic location facilitates trading and training exchange between the two countries.

The new center marked the company’s 65th office globally. This development center assists the firm’s expansion strategy and better serves the billion-people market, especially in the automotive industry.

In the next two years, the newly-established center is expected to reach 200 employees and expand the customer base in the field of automotive technology and semiconductor manufacturing in China and globally, and in other fields such as finance - banking, and healthcare.
