FPT Software signed a cooperative agreement on July 19 with Nippon Seiki, a Japanese supplier of information display products for automobiles and motorcycles.

In the initial phase of the cooperative endeavor, FPT Software will develop platforms and applications for Nippon Seiki’s motorcycle speedometers, leveraging its extensive expertise in software development and the automotive field.

Joining forces with FPT Software will enable Nippon Seiki to rely on a trusted, experienced partner for software while focusing on its core hardware development. The alliance will embrace the latest innovation in human-machine interfaces, bringing high-tech and high-quality products to vehicle manufacturers and consumers worldwide.

Nippon Seiki, a global Tier-1 supplier of speedometers and head-up displays (HUD), with a market share of nearly 50 per cent worldwide in such products, has been facing increasing market demand and a shortage of automotive software engineers globally. To meet its needs, FPT Software will convene a team of hundreds of highly-skilled software engineers by 2025 and plans to double this workforce by 2027.

Before this cooperation , FPT Software had already worked on multiple unit testing projects with Nippon Seiki subsidiaries, showcasing its exceptional delivery outcomes and expertise. The company is known for providing comprehensive services and solutions to top-tier motor vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and automakers to reduce time-to-market, achieve world-class certification, and ensure safety and security for their next-generation vehicles.

According to Ms. Chu Thi Thanh Ha, FPT Software Chairwoman, as this year marks the 50th anniversary of Vietnam-Japan diplomatic ties and FPT’s 35th founding anniversary, FPT Software has developed many partnerships with Japanese firms. “This partnership with Nippon Seiki holds great significance for us, opening up the next chapter for both companies in the future,” she said. “We are committed to dedicating our best resources to this project, to achieve good results for Nippon Seiki.”

“Nippon Seiki always pursues safety, security, and technological innovation for our products,” said Mr. Nagano Keiichi, Chief of the Automotive Design Headquarters of Nippon Seiki. “By integrating FPT Software’s capabilities, we look forward to achieving more rapid and significant improvements to benefit our customers worldwide.”

The partnership with Nippon Seiki also adds to FPT Software’s established Japanese client base. The company has operated in Japan for 18 years, with 16 offices and nearly 15,000 employees dedicated to the market and working in Japan and other global locations.
