Also attending were Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thuy – Deputy Chief of Office of the City Party Committee; Mr. Nguyen Huu Yen – Deputy Director of the Department of Science & Technology; Mr. Nguyen Duc Chung – Deputy Director of the City Digital Transformation Center; and Mr. Nguyen Duc Huy – Deputy Director of the HCMC Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. On the CMC side, the session was chaired by Mr. Nguyen Trung Chinh – Chairman of the Board/Executive Chairman of CMC – together with leaders of CMC TS, CMC Telecom, CMC ATI, CMC University, CMC CS, etc.

The working delegation of the HCMC Party Committee visits and works at the CMC Creative Space (CCS) – Ho Chi Minh City in the Tân Thuận Export Processing Zone.

CMC noted that it is one of eight organizations selected to partner with ministries and agencies to implement the two important resolutions NQ57 and NQ68; CMC participated from the policy-formulation stage and sits directly on the Steering Committee 57. At the meeting, CMC proposed that the City support three priority groups: talent training, connectivity & data infrastructure, and fast-track mechanisms for executing digital projects. The company proposed opening a CMC University Branch in HCMC and allowing training and research from 2026 at CCS Tân Thuận, focusing on AI and semiconductor design to meet high-quality talent needs.

On infrastructure, CMC requested the removal of administrative hurdles for two neutral landing stations for subsea fiber-optic cables in Vung Tau and Can Gio; and proposed studying the formation of CCS HCMC in Cần Giờ as an integrated science-and-technology & innovation urban model combining R&D – Data Center – AI/Cloud – training – services. Regarding the CMC Hyperscale Data Center at the Saigon Hi-Tech Park, CMC asked for early approval of investor selection to break ground for Phase 1 in 2026. The delegation also toured CMC Data Center Tân Thuận—the first in Vietnam to concurrently achieve Uptime Tier international standards across all three criteria: Design – Facility (Construction) – Operations.

Dinh Tuan Trung, DCEO CMC Telecom, introduces the CMC Tân Thuận Data Center to the HCMC Party Committee delegation—the first Uptime Tier III data center in Vietnam certified across Design–Facility–Operations.

Alongside infrastructure, CMC emphasized its “AI First” strategy and cooperation with C4IR to develop an AI Transformation Framework for HCMC—the first pioneering local-level AI strategy framework in Vietnam. According to CMC, HCMC should move first, without waiting for the national AI framework (which will depend on the progress of the AI Law), thereby asserting leadership and gaining early advantage. CMC proposed early promulgation of the City’s AI Transformation Framework and its announcement at the HCMC Economic Forum (HEF) in November 2025.

Building on that, CMC presented a 2026–2028 pilot portfolio featuring “made by CMC” platforms such as C-Agent (AI assistants for process automation), C-LS (AI review of legal normative documents), digital operations solutions, AI cameras, smart digital documents, digital transformation rankings, open tax data, private cloud infrastructure, and information security by classification levels. Notably, C-LS has been approved by the Office of the National Assembly for deployment and can be expanded to People’s Councils at all levels; with the Ministry of Justice, the solution is in the deployment process. CMC also proposed studying the integration of AI Office/C-LS as an intelligent assistant for the Party Committee/People’s Committee office and management systems.

Deputy Secretary of the HCMC Party Committee Dang Minh Thong appreciates and acknowledges CMC’s proposals at the working session.

Speaking at the meeting, Deputy Secretary Dang Minh Thong commended CMC’s business results and technology orientation, especially its efforts to develop core AI capabilities “Make in Vietnam, Made by CMC.” He took note of all the company’s proposals, affirming that the Standing Board of the City Party Committee will closely monitor and expedite relevant agencies to study and advise on concrete implementation roadmaps, prioritizing pilot models that generate rapid impact for public services and digital-economy growth in HCMC.

On behalf of CMC, Chairman Nguyễn Trung Chính stated: “On behalf of the Group’s leadership, we appreciate the close attention of the HCMC Party Committee and People’s Committee to leading technology enterprises like CMC in decisively implementing the Party and Government’s quartet of resolutions, especially NQ57 and NQ68. CMC is committed to mobilizing all our resources to contribute to the development of Ho Chi Minh City in particular and the national digital economy at large.”

The leadership of CMC Technology Group affirms its commitment to accompany the development of HCMC’s and the nation’s digital economy.
