HANOI, VIETNAM, December 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- HITC and Evolution Data Centres Announce Strategic Joint Venture to Develop Large-Scale Data Centres in Vietnam

Joint venture will deliver critical sustainable infrastructure, including a new large-scale facility in Ho Chi Minh City, to meet Vietnam's exponential demand growth for digital infrastructure.

HTC International Telecommunication JSC (HITC) and Evolution Data Centres (Evolution) today announced that they have established a joint venture to develop large-scale, AI and hyperscale data centres in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
This partnership will deliver critical sustainable digital infrastructure to support Vietnam’s rapid digital transformation and growing demand for cloud and AI services with the fastest-growing digital economy in Southeast Asia.

By combining Evolution’s international expertise in hyperscale data centre development with HITC’s strong local presence and telecommunications infrastructure capability, the joint venture will deliver reliable, high-performance, and environmentally responsible digital infrastructure. The collaboration will also leverage Vietnam’s renewable energy resources to create environmentally-responsible facilities.

The joint venture is initially focused on two flagship projects designed to meet diverse customer needs and set new benchmarks in sustainable digital infrastructure across Vietnam:

1. EcoDC Data Centre (Hanoi): An expansion of HITC's existing facility in the Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park, the first data centre in Vietnam to receive Uptime Tier III certification for both design and construction.

2. Ho Chi Minh City Development: A new, large-scale hyperscale data centre to meet the surging hyperscale and AI demand in southern Vietnam.

Mr. Darren Webb, CEO of Evolution Data Centres, said: “Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing digital markets. We are delighted to partner with HITC to deliver world-class, sustainable data centres that support this dynamic economy. Through this market entry, Evolution will be one of the first international data centre operators active in Vietnam, and the only one with projects in both major economic hubs, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. This North-to-South strategy ensures we can support customer demand as it scales nationwide.”

Mr. Nguyễn Hoàng Dương, Vice Chairman of HITC, said: “With this joint venture, HITC Telecom becomes one of the first telecom infrastructure companies in Vietnam to welcome an international strategic investor in the data centre sector. Partnering with Evolution Data Centres is a strategic step by HITC in strengthening our infrastructure capabilities and expand our data center ecosystem in Vietnam. With Evolution’s international expertise and HITC’s strong local infrastructure and market knowledge, we believe this joint venture will establish a new benchmark for sustainable digital infrastructure development in Vietnam.”
