Accordingly, VNPT and Qualcomm will cooperate comprehensively in many cutting-edge technology fields, including artificial intelligence (AI), new generation mobile networks 5G/6G, Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, AI computing devices and new generation network devices.

VQEC is the focal point for implementing research activities, product development, technology transfer, training high-quality human resources and promoting the commercialization of technology solutions based on Qualcomm platforms, contributing to bringing Vietnam deeper into the global technology value chain.

These fields are all core technologies, playing a key role in VNPT's development strategy to 2030, vision 2035. Accessing and mastering these technologies not only helps VNPT improve its competitiveness, realize VNPT's strategic goals in the process of transforming from a telecommunications enterprise (Telco) to a digital technology enterprise (Techco), but also contributes to affirming Vietnam's position on the world technology map.

According to plan, VQEC will officially launch in October 2025.

VQEC will become one of Qualcomm's Authorized Design Centers, representing the cooperation capacity between VNPT and Qualcomm in the global technology development network, and is an important connection point to help the domestic telecommunications industry participate more deeply in the international design and innovation value chain.

With a central role, VQEC will gather intellectual, technological and creative resources from both groups, creating an environment of continuous cooperation, creativity and innovation. This is a strategic step, not only expanding the scale and depth of cooperation between VNPT and Qualcomm, but also helping VNPT directly participate in the entire value chain - from original design, technology development, production, to bringing products to market. This opens up opportunities for Vietnam to directly access the world's most advanced standards and technologies, while affirming its ability to master and deeply participate in the global technology industry.

VNPT General Director Huynh Quang Liem affirmed: “ VNPT Group is honored to join Qualcomm Group, one of the world's leading technology corporations, in signing a cooperation agreement, aiming to establish the VNPT - Qualcomm Center of Excellence. Today's event is not only a new step in the strategic cooperation relationship between the two sides, but also a strategic step for VNPT in developing VNPT's technology industry. ”

The establishment of VQEC is considered a clear demonstration of VNPT's long-term vision, integration capacity and determination to achieve the goal of accessing global knowledge and technology, affirming VNPT's pioneering role in creating digital infrastructure and digital platforms. With Qualcomm's network and reputation, VQEC will be the bridge to bring "Make in Vietnam" products and technology solutions to the international market.

This cooperation signing ceremony and the implementation of VQEC are also VNPT's concrete steps in line with the Government's orientation on science, technology and innovation development. With determination, capacity and strategic vision, VNPT and Qualcomm are laying the foundation for a long-term cooperation, creating technological breakthroughs, actively contributing to the development of the digital industry in Vietnam and the region./.
