Vietnam transforming AI ambitions into business impact
As Vietnam enters a pivotal phase in its AI journey shifting from adoption to business impact the next phase is to turn ambitions into measurable results through strategic execution digital skills and responsible governance
Eric Yeo, AWS country general manager for Vietnam, emphasized the shift in focus from AI adoption to scaling successful implementations during AWS Cloud and AI Day Hanoi on September 29. The Unlocking Vietnam’s AI Potential 2026 study revealed that 26% of Vietnamese businesses, around 245,000 enterprises, have adopted AI, with 78% expecting AI-driven growth in the next year.
Among AI adopters, 73% consider the technology crucial to their business strategy, and 72% report productivity gains, up from 66% last year. Notable examples include Techcom Securities JSC (TCBS), which reduced development time by nearly 25% using AWS's agentic AI-powered software development environment, Kiro, and VPBank, which implemented the NEO Agentic AI Platform to improve efficiency across its operations.
AWS's Eric Yeo highlighted that while 61% of AI adopters are still in the experimentation phase, early returns show promising results, with 71% of AI investments breaking even or delivering a positive return.
