Vingroup and Mitsubishi Corporation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for comprehensive strategic cooperation on May 30.

The partnership focuses on five key areas: urban development, data center development, renewable energy, used cooking oil recycling, and the automotive industry. 

Specifically, in the field of urban development, Mitsubishi Corporation will make large-scale investments in Vinhomes to develop world-class smart city projects in Vietnam, thus enhancing the quality of real estate offerings.

Additionally, a focus will be placed on using green materials to achieve net-zero emissions, thereby reducing carbon emissions nationwide.

In the field of data center business, the two parties will conduct a feasibility study to establish a joint venture for data center operations in Vietnam. This initiative aims to provide more critical digital infrastructure for Vietnam, contributing to digital transformation and social development in the country.

Regarding renewable energy, the two sides will conduct a feasibility study on wind power projects in Vietnam. These projects aim to supply clean and reliable energy to urban development projects developed by Vinhomes.

In relation to used cooking oil recycling, Mitsubishi Corporation will establish a working group to collect used cooking oil from Vinhomes and Vinpearl projects, recycling it into biofuel for environmental protection. Additionally, they will promote community activities to foster a green lifestyle in urban areas.

In the automotive industry, Mitsubishi Corporation will explore providing after-sales services for VinFast in international markets, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of the VinFast electric car brand.

Leveraging their extensive experience in Vietnam, Japan and the global market, the collaboration between Vingroup and Mitsubishi Corporation, through the establishment of working groups, will swiftly execute the MoU's objectives. This partnership aims to bring international-standard products and services to the market, advancing sustainable development.
