Vietnam’s G-Group Technology Corporation will build its G-Campus Hoa Lac, a high-tech center and Tier III data center complex specializing in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, with total investment of VND7,600 billion ($300 million).
In a statement on Tuesday, G-Group said it received an investment certificate for the project at Hanoi’s investment promotion conference a day earlier.
Located on more than 38,000 square meters, G-Campus comprises four functional zones serving the high-tech value chain. Two zones will focus on research and development, testing, and design in AI, big data, IoT, high-performance computing, and cybersecurity. The remaining two zones will house a Tier III data center serving AI and HPC workloads, with initial IT power capacity of 20 MW.
Following expansion, total capacity is expected to reach 30 MW, providing data infrastructure, cloud computing, and AI and HPC commercial services for domestic and international organizations.
Phung Anh Tuan, Chairman of G-Group, said G-Campus strives to accompany Hanoi into the AI era, building a platform to serve research, technology development, digital transformation, and large-scale AI applications.
Alongside receiving the investment certificate, G-Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Hanoi People’s Committee and OTECH, a member of Oman-based ICT solutions provide Omantel Group. The three parties will jointly research next-generation AI data center development models, cloud computing infrastructure, high-performance computing, GPU computing, data services, information security, and digital transformation solutions.
Under the cooperation framework, the Hanoi People’s Committee will connect usage needs and support strategic technology projects. OTECH will contribute experience in national-scale data infrastructure operations and sovereign cloud governance alongside capital arrangement. G-Group will take overall responsibility for investment, technical resources, operations, and commercialization in the Vietnamese market.
The investment comes as Hanoi targets at least four IoT connections per resident by 2030 and aims to operate a digital government on big data and AI platforms by 2035, creating demand for at least two hyperscale data centers alongside specialized AI and edge data centers in the capital.
