At the beginning of the talks, the focus converged on the core of this visit—Vietnam's FPT Group. As a leading comprehensive technology and telecommunications enterprise in Vietnam, FPT Group is regarded as the "national team" and pioneer of the country's digital economy. Its business spans multiple sectors including software services, system integration, telecommunications operations, digital transformation consulting, and high-tech education, making it one of the most influential tech giants in Southeast Asia.

FPT Group not only holds a dominant position in the domestic market but is also renowned globally for its robust software outsourcing and offshore development capabilities, having established long-term and stable strategic partnerships with numerous Fortune 500 companies. The group is consistently committed to the exploration and application of cutting-edge technologies, accumulating profound technical expertise and practical experience in areas such as cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and smart city solutions. Mr. Ma Xingwu, as a senior advisor to FPT Group and former Vice President of Accenture Greater China, brings strong support to FPT's global strategic layout with his extensive international consulting background and deep insight into the Asia-Pacific market. During his introduction, he emphasized, "FPT's mission is to become a key enabler of global digital transformation. We are highly optimistic about the vitality and potential of the Chinese market and are eager to partner with outstanding enterprises like Shisheng Group, which have deep roots in the real economy, to jointly explore the boundless possibilities of deep integration between digital technology and the real economy."

After hearing the detailed introduction of FPT Group, the talks moved into the core segment—in-depth discussions on potential cooperation between Shisheng Group and FPT Group. Zhang Fangjian, Executive Director of Shisheng Group, first introduced the group's development history, core businesses, and outstanding achievements in high-end equipment manufacturing, the new energy industry, and park development and operation. He stated, "Shisheng Group is in a critical period of innovation-driven and internationalized development. FPT Group's global vision and technical strength in the digital field highly align with our strategic needs for transformation and upgrading."

General Manager Xu Meiyun then put forward constructive suggestions regarding specific cooperation directions. She pointed out that the cooperation between the two parties should not be limited to simple technology procurement but should be based on building a long-term, in-depth, and win-win strategic partnership.

Witnessed by Bian Zheng, Deputy Director of the Jintan Economic Development Zone Management Committee, and Director Xu Jie, both sides preliminarily outlined the following key cooperation areas:

-   Digital Transformation of Intelligent Manufacturing: Leveraging FPT Group's advanced experience in Industry 4.0, digital twins, and smart manufacturing solutions to comprehensively digitally empower Shisheng Group's manufacturing sector, enhancing production efficiency and lean management levels.

-   Jointly Exploring International Markets: Combining Shisheng Group's high-quality products with FPT Group's strong channels and localized service capabilities in Southeast Asia, especially in the Vietnamese market, to jointly explore emerging markets and achieve perfect synergy between "Intelligent Manufacturing from China" and "Vietnamese Services."

-   Establishing a Joint Technology Innovation Lab: Focusing on cutting-edge fields such as green energy and artificial intelligence, jointly establishing a technology R&D center to bring together top talent from both sides for core technology research and development, creating an innovation engine that leads industry development.

Zhang Tao, Executive President of the China-Europe International Cooperation Promotion Association, spoke highly of the cooperation concept between the two parties. He stated, "The industries of China and Vietnam are highly complementary, with vast potential for cooperation. The alliance between Shisheng Group and FPT Group is an exemplary attempt under the framework of China-Europe international cooperation and is bound to inject new momentum into regional economic development." Bian Zheng, Deputy Director of the Jintan Economic Development Zone Management Committee, subsequently introduced the various preferential policies and high-quality services provided by the Economic Development Zone to support such high-tech international cooperation, pledging to create a first-class business environment and fully ensure the implementation and success of the cooperation projects.

The meeting concluded successfully in a warm and pragmatic atmosphere. It not only laid a solid foundation for in-depth cooperation between Shisheng Group and Vietnam's FPT Group but also demonstrated the determination of the Jintan Economic Development Zone to actively attract high-quality international resources and promote high-quality industrial development. Executive Director Zhang Fangjian summarized that Shisheng Group will immediately form a dedicated working group to maintain close communication with FPT Group and fully promote the transformation of cooperation intentions into tangible results as soon as possible.

It is believed that in the near future, this "powerful alliance" between Shisheng Group and FPT Group will surely yield fruitful results and become a success story of win-win cooperation between Chinese and Vietnamese enterprises in the era of the digital economy.
