HCMC – VNG Corporation (ticker: VNZ) has identified artificial intelligence (AI) as the core focus of development, which could create new growth momentum in the coming years, said Le Hong Minh, founder and CEO of VNG Corporation.
VNG Corporation’s shareholders sat down together at the firm’s annual general meeting (AGM) this morning, June 21, approving key business goals and strategies for this year.
During the meeting, the leader of VNG stressed that prioritizing AI development will generate enduring value for VNG, its employees, and its shareholders.
With more than 300 AI engineers and experts, VNG is currently at the forefront of adopting AI technology in Southeast Asia, leading in terms of investment, research, execution and profitability from AI initiatives.

Alongside its gaming sector, VNG’s other core business units are also accelerating their “Go Global” strategy. Recently, GreenNode, a new member of VNG Digital Business, has become an official Nvidia Cloud Partner, gaining access to Nvidia’s AI Factory and advanced AI chips.
