Vietnamese technology investment firm G-Group has received investment certification for its G-Campus project, a 7.6 trillion Vietnamese dong ($290 million) AI data center development in Hanoi’s Hoa Lac High-Tech Park. The project marks a significant step in Vietnam’s push to build advanced digital infrastructure to support artificial intelligence and high-performance computing workloads.
Spanning over 38,000 square meters, G-Campus is designed as a large-scale digital infrastructure complex comprising four functional zones. Zones 1 and 2 will focus on research and development of cutting-edge technologies including AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and cybersecurity. Zones 3 and 4 will house a proposed Tier III certified data center, built to Uptime Institute standards, dedicated to AI and HPC workloads with an initial IT power capacity of 20 megawatts, expandable to 30 megawatts.
During the same ceremony, G-Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Hanoi People’s Committee and OTECH, an Omani information and communication technology firm that is part of the Omantel Group. Under the agreement, the Hanoi People’s Committee will connect ecosystem partners, develop necessary infrastructure, and ensure regulatory compliance. OTECH will contribute its experience in operating national-scale data center infrastructure and sovereign cloud management, while G-Group will oversee investment, capital structuring, and product commercialization in the Vietnamese market, according to the company’s press release.
Phung Anh Tu, Chairman of G-Group, said that G-Campus represents a long-term commitment to accompany Hanoi into the AI era, emphasizing that data and computing capabilities will become an important part of national competitiveness. “What G-Group aims for is not to build the largest data center, but to build a platform that is modern enough, secure enough, and open enough to serve research, technology development, digital transformation, and large-scale AI applications,” he stated.
The project aligns with Hanoi’s ambition to achieve an average of four IoT connections per citizen by 2030 and to establish a digital government model. The city is projected to require at least two mega data centers and multiple edge data centers to cope with growing data volumes, the statement added.
