Announced October 12, 2026
What happened
NAVER Cloud signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Vietnamese IT company FPT to jointly discuss the planning, development and operation of AI factory projects. The goal is to jointly expand their GPUaaS business in Asia-Pacific markets, including Korea, Japan and Vietnam. FPT was described as an NVIDIA cloud partner.
Provider claims
The two companies said they will combine their GPU infrastructure, cloud technology and business capabilities to target the Asia-Pacific AI market.
Why it matters
This is a move by a Korean cloud provider to expand its AI infrastructure business across Asia-Pacific by partnering with an overseas GPU cloud provider. However, the deal is still at the MOU stage, and no investment size or timeline has been disclosed.
