APAC DAO Ecosystem Highlights: NVIDIA doubles down on Vietnam as Southeast Asia’s sovereign AI bet
NVIDIA has formalized its Vietnam Research & Development Center as its third global AI research hub, alongside an AI Data Center built in partnership with the Vietnamese government — and acquired Vingroup’s VinBrain to anchor healthcare AI in the country. Vietnam is one of the few markets where NVIDIA is actively building sovereign AI infrastructure with state backing, signaling exactly where the next wave of AI compute capacity in the region will land.
This is the same ecosystem we’re stepping into as a partner of the upcoming NVIDIA Vietnam AI Hackathon, supported by Sovico Group and Vietnamese government partners.
