SAIGONTEL joins international partners for 3 5 billion AI data centre complex in Tay Ninh

On August 28, the Tay Ninh Investment Promotion Conference 2026 saw Saigon Telecommunications & Technologies Corporation (SAIGONTEL) join forces with World Harmony Co., Ltd. and SAIF Eagle II Investment Co., Ltd. to present a Letter of Interest for an AI data centre complex in Nam Tan Tap Industrial Park. The 20-hectare project, which aims to meet Tier IV standards with 99.999 percent uptime, would feature cooling technologies for high-performance AI workloads and international connectivity for low-latency data transmission.

An estimated $3.5 billion would be invested in the first phase, targeting 100MW of capacity, with full operations expected by 2027. This partnership signifies a strategic shift in SAIGONTEL's infrastructure strategy, moving towards an integrated ecosystem combining industrial, energy, and digital infrastructure. The success of this project could bolster Vietnam's appeal to technology companies and foreign direct investment.
