On the afternoon of April 22, 2024, FPT University Hanoi had the honor of welcoming Mr. Keith Strier, Vice President of NVIDIA Corporation.
During his visit, Mr. Strier and the NVIDIA delegation had the opportunity to tour and learn about the history and development of the FPT Education Organization in general and FPT University in particular. Moreover, they witnessed firsthand the automotive projects of FPT students as well as enjoyed vibrant musical performances in traditional instrument classes.
The visit left a profound impression on the NVIDIA delegation about FPT University and their dynamic and innovative students.
Prior to this, FPT Corporation announced a comprehensive strategic partnership with Nvidia, investing $200 million to establish an AI factory and providing a sovereign cloud computing platform for AI research and development in Vietnam.
FPT plans to incorporate Nvidia’s training content into regular curricula at universities and high schools to develop high-tech human resources. The corporation aims to reach at least 30,000 students and pupils accessing the program within five years.
The AI explosion has propelled Nvidia to become one of the world’s most important technology companies, with a value exceeding $1.2 trillion. Nvidia was known for manufacturing chips for the gaming industry, but it has shifted its focus to the data center market in recent years. Founded in 1993, Nvidia has become the star of the semiconductor industry as its AI chips continue to be highly sought-after. In early 2022, the company announced the H100, the world’s most powerful GPU at the time, but analysts criticized its timing due to cost-cutting measures and layoffs in various industries. However, by the end of the year, ChatGPT had unexpectedly created a global frenzy, causing Nvidia’s AI chips to become scarce. Nvidia’s market capitalization soared from $400 billion in January 2023 to $2 trillion earlier this year.
