The two companies recently signed an MOU at Naver 1784 and agreed to jointly pursue the planning, development and operation of the AI Factory business. Based on that, they also plan to identify GPUaaS business opportunities together, focusing on South Korea, Japan and Vietnam.

FPT is a Vietnam-based global ICT company and an NVIDIA cloud partner. Naver Cloud and FPT will connect the GPU infrastructure, cloud technologies and customer networks they each have to respond to regional demand for AI infrastructure.

The initial target customers are companies that need GPU computing resources for large-scale AI training and inference, as well as AI service providers. The two companies plan to provide them with infrastructure, AI models and related services, helping customers use the resources they need without having to build their own large-scale GPU infrastructure.

The two companies will also deepen technical cooperation through personnel exchanges and joint on-site projects. They plan to operate a regular technical exchange program involving engineers from Naver Cloud's Vietnam development center, headquarters technical staff and FPT engineers, and will also jointly handle project needs identified at customer sites.

The partnership will not stop at the infrastructure level. The scope of cooperation includes GPU infrastructure optimization, improved AI inference performance and AI agent development, and the two companies plan to strengthen engineering capabilities for operating AI models and agents in real service environments, going beyond simple infrastructure supply.

Kim Yuwon, CEO of Naver Cloud, said the partnership with FPT will allow the company to combine Naver Cloud's AI technology and experience with FPT's AI Factory and enterprise business capabilities. He added that the company plans to respond to diverse AI demand in the APAC market beyond South Korea and Vietnam, and turn that into actual business results.

Le Hong Viet, head of Smart Cloud at FPT Corporation, said the company will combine Naver Cloud's technology with FPT's AI cloud and engineering capabilities to expand customers' use of AI models. He also said the company aims to create a cooperation model that can apply AI to real business across global markets, including APAC.
