Vietnam's engineers now run a Japanese trading house's AI: ITOCHU and FPT open a tech centre
The virtual joint venture runs through ITOCHU's Hong Kong subsidiary CISD Asia and scales the CISD AI Agent, a multi-agent platform already deployed across more than 100 ITOCHU business units.
Positive-sum angle: Vietnamese delivery teams move up from outsourced coding to owning an enterprise AI platform, and the reference case makes the Japan-Vietnam corridor easier to sell to the next trading house.
