Global technology corporation FPT and Amata Group, a leading industrial estate developer in Southeast Asia (SEA), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to advance AI-driven transformation across Amata’s industrial parks in Thailand, Vietnam, and the broader Southeast Asia region. The MoU exchange ceremony was witnessed by Thailand's Prime Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul.

Under the agreement, FPT and Amata will explore a comprehensive set of collaboration areas, spanning from AI-led smart industrial estate development and digital transformation to sustainable solutions and talent development programs.

In smart industrial estate development, FPT and Amata will assess the design and implementation of intelligent industrial park solutions tailored to Amata’s infrastructure. This includes smart utilities management across energy, water and waste systems, AI-based monitoring and predictive maintenance, smart security and surveillance, and the application of digital twin technologies. The collaboration will also examine the deployment of IoT, data platforms, and analytics to enable more efficient and data-driven management of Amata’s industrial environments.

The partnership will further explore the development of Amata Digital Hub, a unified digital platform serving tenants within Amata industrial parks. The platform is expected to deliver digital services such as permitting, licensing and compliance processes, along with facility and service management, billing and service request systems, and supply chain connectivity. Workforce and human-resources-related services will also be evaluated to support tenant operations within a more connected ecosystem.

In parallel, both companies will pursue manufacturing digital transformation initiatives for enterprises operating within Amata’s industrial parks. This includes smart factory solutions such as manufacturing execution systems, AI-driven quality control, and robotics, as well as ERP modernisation programs such as SAP S/4HANA. They will also assess supply chain optimisation, analytics, and ESG-related solutions, including carbon tracking and reporting capabilities.

The collaboration further advances ESG and sustainable development, with joint initiatives covering carbon footprint tracking and reporting platforms, energy optimisation and renewable energy integration, and direct support for Amata's sustainability commitments and Net Zero roadmap.

Both companies will also focus on academic programs to support talent development. Leveraging FPT’s integrated education system, they will develop potential training courses and vocational programs within the Amata industrial park ecosystem, equipping the workforce with skills in digital manufacturing and smart factory operations, and supporting the establishment of certificate-granting centres across Amata's industrial parks.

To enable effective implementation, FPT will leverage its AI-first approach, underpinned by the FleziPT end-to-end AI platform, a global workforce of more than 30,000 AI-augmented engineers, AI Factories across Vietnam and Japan, and strategic collaborations with leading global AI partners. This ecosystem is further enhanced by FPT’s CASAN framework, a five-level AI transformation model spanning Curious, Augmented, Standard, Automatic, and Native stages, which are designed to help enterprises transition from isolated AI initiatives to a structured, enterprise-wide adoption with clear, measurable business impact.
