Vietnam’s Government Endorses FPT Software’s Blockchain Platform, Pushing for National Digital Transformation
Vietnam’s Ministry of Information and Communications has announced the launch of akaChain, an enterprise blockchain platform developed by leading IT firm FPT Software, as part of its national program for digital transformation.

akaChain is one of a few made-in-Vietnam digital platforms that were hand-picked by the Government to accelerate digital transformation in both the public and private sector. As per a plan approved by the Prime Minister in July, Vietnam sets to become a global Top 50 country in terms of information and communication technology development and Top 35 in terms of Global Innovation by 2030.

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hung, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Information and Communications, urged local businesses to speed up the move to digital. “As COVID-19 looms large, it is more important than ever to take their business online. We trust FPT Software’s akaChain will help businesses to quicken the process through blockchain-based applications such as eKYC (electronic Know Your Customer), credit scoring, loyalty programs, traceability, etc., which would be very challenging in the absence of technologies,” he said.

While enterprise blockchain remains a foreign concept for many businesses, FPT’s akaChain has been trusted by customers across various domains. “From retail, supply chain, to financial services, blockchain applications have moved beyond cryptocurrencies. Built on Hyperledger Fabric, the akaChain platform helps to enable a frictionless, secure, and transparent connection for all parties involved. That is the top concern of every digital business nowadays,” said FPT Software’s Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Tran Dang Hoa.

“FPT Software is also working to develop Digital ID solutions based on the akaChain platform, making it much easier and faster to prove identity and validate personal information. The key here is to constantly improve security and transparency. We are excited to be part of the national digital transformation program and help the Vietnamese Government to build early foundations for a digital economy, digital society, and e-Government,” he added.
