IT service provider FPT Software has announced the recent opening of a nearshore development center in Nanning in China’s Guangxi province, marking the company’s 65th office globally.

The development center will assist FPT Software’s expansion strategy and better serve the billion-people market, especially in the automotive industry.

Electric vehicles have emerged as a promising solution in various countries. With a massive production scale and favorable government policies, China is attracting several global automotive giants. FPT Software sees this as an opportunity to introduce its ready-made platforms and digital services to support businesses in the industry.

FPT Software has the workforce to address the increasing demand in the automotive sector, with more than 3,800 engineers currently supporting the world’s leading car manufacturer partners. Its automotive services and solutions also meet international AUTOSAR standards set by automotive industry giants.

Located in Liangqing district, FPT Software’s new delivery center is close to many top universities with majors spanning from business and technology to social studies. This allows it to work closer with local university and university and educational institution partners to grow a robust talent pool, tapping the region’s growing IT industry. Additionally, Nanning is just 380 km from Hanoi, which facilitates trade and training exchanges between the two countries.

“With the new nearshore development center in Nanning, we aim to enhance our competencies in automotive, manufacturing, and other industries,” said Ms. Chu Thi Thanh Ha, Chairwoman of FPT Software. “We will be able to bridge the language barrier and time zone differences and have more in-person engagement with our clients.”
