G42 Expands Global Footprint with Vietnam AI Data Centre Initiative

Abu Dhabi-based technology group G42 has entered into a strategic partnership with a Vietnamese consortium to develop national AI infrastructure, with a strong focus on sovereign data centres, secure compute capacity, and digital resilience

The agreement centres on building advanced data centre facilities and high-performance computing environments designed to support government platforms, smart city ecosystems, and enterprise digital transformation. The initiative aims to strengthen Vietnam’s AI capabilities while ensuring that data governance, sovereignty, and cybersecurity controls remain embedded within the national framework.

For G42, the move reflects its growing role as an exporter of secure AI infrastructure beyond the Middle East. By combining large-scale compute deployment with security-by-design principles, the partnership positions data centre resilience and controlled AI environments as foundational elements of Southeast Asia’s digital future.

The development underscores a broader global trend: AI infrastructure is no longer just about processing power — it is increasingly about secure architecture, regulated data environments, and trusted cross-border technology collaboration.
