Nanning is FPT's second office in China. Starting with its first office in Shanghai in 2017, FPT has cooperated with large customers in China's automotive technology and semiconductor manufacturing to carry out key projects.

In the automotive technology sector alone, FPT currently has more than 3,800 engineers and technology experts worldwide implementing projects for various leading global automakers. FPT's automotive technology meets the international AUTOSAR standard and anticipates growing by 40% in 2022, contributing significantly to realizing the one-billion-USD achievement in software export revenue by 2023.

Over the next two years, the software center in Nanning is expected to reach a staff size of 200 and expand its customer base in automotive technology and semiconductor manufacturing in China and globally. At the same time, FPT will develop new customer bases in other sectors, such as finance, banking, and healthcare.

Bordering four provinces of Vietnam and only 380km away from Hanoi, Nanning is a convenient locality for trade, exchange, and training. Dubbed the "Green City," Nanning also gathers large universities with diverse training majors from healthcare, business, and technology to arts and social sciences. Making the most of Nanning's advantages, FPT's new software center also aims to collaborate with universities and educational institutions in Nanning and, widely, Guangxi province to promote potential technology expert training.

There are about 70,000 engineers and over 21,000 technology students in Guangxi, which means a potential workforce for future technology development. Furthermore, with its position and technological capacity as a global company, FPT will provide challenging technology projects for young talents and support the development of high-level professional labor and the technology industry in China and the region.

On the journey to explore environmentally friendly transportation solutions, smart electric cars get support worldwide. This type of car integrates a comprehensive and high-tech control system which helps personalizes the experience while enhancing users' safety. In electric car production, designing technology systems alongside semiconductor components is the vital point that makes a difference.

China's high-tech electric car market is leading the world in both sales and production volume. According to Canalys, 59% of the world's electric cars sold are in mainland China, equivalent to 5.9 million. With a vast scale and favorable conditions created by the country's leaders, China is an engaging market to attract tech giants' attention in the world's auto industry.
