Vietnam pursues AI sovereignty to secure projected $6.91 billion market
Vietnam is prioritizing the development of sovereign AI infrastructure to ensure technological autonomy and economic security. Statista projects the country's AI market will reach approximately $6.91 billion by 2031, growing at a compound annual rate of nearly 39%.
Experts emphasize that true autonomy requires more than just domestic data storage; it necessitates local control over the computing infrastructure and AI models to prevent the leakage of economic secrets and ensure data security. This shift is driving interest in AI-Native Cloud platforms.
In the business sector, AI is being recognized as a vital tool for navigating global economic volatility. At the CONNECT 2026 workshop in Hanoi, leaders discussed how AI can optimize operations and support decision-making in areas such as predictive maintenance and process automation.
