On August 14, 2025, Samsung C&T, the construction arm of Samsung Group, announced a partnership worth $1.3 billion to build a data centre in Vietnam, as reported by Forbes.
Samsung C&T is advancing its presence in Vietnam by launching a state-of-the-art data centre project that taps into the country’s rapidly expanding data centre market—expected to grow from $654 million in 2024 to $1.75 billion by 2030. As Vietnam’s largest foreign investor, with commitments totalling $23.2 billion, Samsung C&T is partnering with a local company to capitalise on the nation’s strategic location and accelerate technological growth.
