FPT and Pasqal Plan Quantum Computing Push in Vietnam
Vietnamese technology firm FPT and French quantum computing company Pasqal proposed a partnership to develop quantum computing capabilities in Vietnam. The plan was presented to Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung on October 12, 2026. The available abstract does not confirm a signed agreement or specify a project timeline.

If the partnership is formalised, FPT could stand up Vietnam's first operational neutral-atom quantum testbed within two years, giving local companies a domestic access point for quantum computing experimentation.
Pasqal has deployed neutral-atom systems with partners and such hardware does not require the dilution refrigeration needed by superconducting machines. FPT already has data-centre and enterprise reach in Vietnam, so the main gates are a signed agreement, funding, and regulatory approval.
