On December 12, 2025, a strategic cooperation investment agreement signing ceremony marked the beginning of a new stage in Vietnam's digital infrastructure construction. HTC International Telecommunications Corporation (HITC), a local company in Vietnam, has officially joined forces with international data center developer Evolution Data Center to develop ultra large scale data centers in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. This is not only a combination of funds, but also a deep handshake between local market cultivators and international professional forces.

North South dual core drive, creating a flagship benchmark

The preliminary blueprint of the joint venture project has clearly presented two core projects. In the north, HITC will expand its existing facilities in Hanoi and the LEGO Technology Park to create a data center called EcoDC; In the south, there are plans to build a large and ultra large scale data center in Ho Chi Minh City. In a statement, Darren Webb, CEO of Evolution Data Centers, outlined its strategic considerations: "With this opportunity to enter the Vietnamese market, Evolution will become one of the first international data center operators to operate in Vietnam, and the only international enterprise to simultaneously layout projects in Vietnam's two major economic centers - Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Our 'North South' strategic layout will ensure meeting the growing needs of customers throughout Vietnam. ”

Of particular note is the EcoDC project in Hanoi, which is not only one of the first flagship projects of this collaboration, but also the first data center in Vietnam to receive Uptime Institute Tier III certification in both design and construction, setting a high reliability and high standard technical starting point for the project.

International experience joins hands with local strength to shape a sustainable future together

This cooperation is regarded by both parties as a model of complementary advantages. Darren Webb said, "Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic digital markets in Southeast Asia. We are delighted to collaborate with HITC to provide world-class, sustainable data centers to support this thriving economy. ”

HITC Vice Chairman Nguyen ễ n Ho à ng D ươ ng responded to this and emphasized the local value of the cooperation: "Through this joint venture, HITC has become the first telecommunications infrastructure company in Vietnam to introduce international strategic investors in the data center field. The cooperation with Evolution Data Center Company is an important strategic measure for HITC to strengthen its infrastructure capabilities and expand the Vietnamese data center ecosystem. ”The cooperation will deeply integrate Evolution's international professional experience in the development of ultra large scale data centers, HITC's deep local telecommunications infrastructure, market insights, and the potential for utilizing Vietnam's abundant renewable energy.

Empowering Digital Vietnam and Setting New Industry Standards

The fundamental goal of the joint venture is to support Vietnam's overall digital transformation process. Nguyen ễ n Ho à ng D ươ ng added, "With Evolution's international expertise and HITC's deep local infrastructure resources and market insights, we believe this joint venture will set a new benchmark for the development of sustainable digital infrastructure in Vietnam. ”Keywords: foreign construction news, international news

Evolution focuses on exploring key emerging markets in Southeast Asia, and this move to Vietnam is an important step in its regional strategy. Through this collaboration, HITC has significantly strengthened its infrastructure capabilities and industry positioning. The strong alliance between the two companies indicates that Vietnam's digital economy will have a more solid, green, and internationally competitive foundation, which is expected to attract more international digital businesses to take root here.
