Empowering Startups to Build, Scale, and Thrive 

FPT AI Factory combines the best of global technology and local proximity, offering a powerful platform for startups to build and scale AI solutions closer to their markets. 

With the AI infrastructure powered by NVIDIA H100/H200 GPUs (ranked 36th and 38th in the TOP500 list, June 2025), FPT AI Factory delivers world-class performance while ensuring data sovereignty, security, and low latency for customers. More than that, FPT AI Factory offers a complete ecosystem designed to help startups and innovators accelerate AI development, deployment, and growth.

1. Flexible yet powerful AI infrastructure

Startups can easily access GPU-powered environments tailored to their needs, from GPU Container for experimentation to Virtual Machine and FPT AI Studio for production workloads. This flexibility allows early-stage organizations to build, test, and deploy AI models quickly while keeping operational costs under control. 

2. No-code/low-code platforms to build AI

With FPT AI Studio, startups can develop and fine-tune AI models using a visual drag-and-drop interface, with no deep coding required. Once trained, these models can be deployed instantly via FPT AI Inference, enabling rapid market validation and iteration. 

3. Expert guidance and technical support

FPT AI Factory provides not only computing resources but also hands-on technical consultation, helping teams choose optimal architectures, fine-tune models, and design efficient AI workflows. For startups without large in-house AI teams, this means faster development with lower risk.

4. Scalable growth within a secure, regional ecosystem

As startups scale, FPT AI Factory provides the solid foundation they need, from GPU Clusters and Kubernetes orchestration to secure storage and MLOps tools, all hosted in state-of-the-art data centers. With this setup, startups can build and deploy AI solutions with low latency and strong data protection. 

From Concept to Market: Real Impact Across the Region 

Mr. Hung showcased how FPT AI Factory has supported startups and enterprises in the region to achieve faster time-to-market. 

One standout case involves a Japanese IT company that fine-tuned a 300GB document understanding model using GPU Container and Object Storage on FPT AI Factory. The company is then able to achieve faster iteration cycles, optimized costs, and a more efficient path from prototype to production. 

Another highlight was a live demo of an AI Camera Agent capable of video search and summarization that is built in just one day using NVIDIA Blueprints and deployed on FPT AI Factory. This case demonstrates how startups can move from idea to working prototype with remarkable speed.
