BiPlus and NationDev announce the development of EU-Vietnam AI Skills Corridor to strengthen workforce transformation

Hanoi, Vietnam - 27/02/2026 - BiPlus Software Solutions JSC ("BiPlus"), a Vietnam-based digital transformation company, and NationDev (Sweden), a technology skills intelligence platform and community, have officially signed a strategic partnership agreement witnessed by H.E. Ambassador at the Commercial Office & Embassy in Stockholm Sweden, with shared goals to build a trusted EU-Vietnam partnership for skills validation, workforce transformation, and compliant cross-border delivery.

The partnership creates a trusted pathway connecting Vietnam's next generation of tech talent with Europe's growing demand for AI and digital expertise.

Building infrastructure for a globally competitive AI workforce

As AI accelerates digital transformation globally, access to talent is no longer the only challenge. Enterprises increasingly require verified capability, measurable outcomes, and compliant cross-border delivery.

Vietnam continues to emerge as a high-potential AI and technology talent hub. Yet fragmented skills validation systems and limited international benchmarking have constrained global mobility. Meanwhile, European organizations face sustained AI talent shortages and rising governance requirements.

BiPlus and NationDev are addressing this gap with a differentiated model built on proof rather than promise.

• NationDev contributes its AI-native skills validation and workforce intelligence platform, including a portable Global Tech Skills Passport that enables professionals to benchmark competencies against real-time job-market demand, international standards and maintain a verifiable digital credential.

• BiPlus brings strong enterprise relationships, institutional engagement, and proven expertise in advising and delivering large-scale digital transformation programs across regulated and mission-critical industries.

This partnership will enable at least 500 Vietnamese AI professionals to work with European enterprises in 2026, using a transparent, standards-aligned deployment model.

BiPlus's broader commitment to systemic AI transformation

This partnership also reinforces BiPlus' long-term strategic direction: moving beyond transactional training models to build a system-wide, large-scale workforce infrastructure that supports AI-driven transformation.

BiPlus is committed to:

• Developing structured AI capability frameworks

• Supporting enterprise and public-sector modernization initiatives

• Contributing to national-level workforce competitiveness

• Enabling measurable reskilling pathways aligned with global standards

By collaborating with NationDev, an organization recognized for its engagement within institutional, governmental, and industry ecosystems, BiPlus strengthens its capacity to operate at a broader societal level.

The vision extends beyond corporate environments to sectors such as healthcare, public services, infrastructure, and other mission-critical domains where AI capability development must be approached systematically, responsibly, and at scale.

This partnership, therefore, reinforces BiPlus's positioning as a long-term AI Transformation partner, committed to sustainable capability development rather than short-term commercial training activities.

Delivering tangible value across the ecosystem

For enterprises
Enterprises gain access to validated, deployment-ready talent, reducing hiring uncertainty and delivery risk. The model replaces CV-based hiring with evidence-based workforce decisions, supported by governance and compliance mechanisms.

For professionals
Vietnamese engineers can build portable, verifiable skill profiles benchmarked against global standards, enabling access to higher-value opportunities beyond traditional outsourcing or freelance work.

For employees

We enable employees to validate their AI and technology capabilities through AI-driven assessments and a verifiable Global Tech Skills Passport aligned with European standards. This gives a trusted way to access international career opportunities and compete confidently in the global talent market.

For society
The corridor introduces a new approach to workforce development, one that links skills validation directly to employment outcomes and market demand, strengthening the position of Vietnam in the global technology value chain.

Connecting Vietnam with Europe and the world

Beyond workforce and talent development, the partnership builds a long-term structured bridge between Vietnamese, European, and global tech ecosystems.

Through validated skills data and AI-driven matchmaking supported by a local partner ecosystems and physical forums and events, the collaboration will:

• Enable trusted access to Vietnamese technology talent for European enterprises

• Provide a compliant, scalable model for cross-border workforce engagement

• Support market entry pathways for Vietnamese technology firms into Europe

• Facilitate long-term knowledge transfer and ecosystem collaboration

This strengthens bilateral market access between Europe and Southeast Asia, accelerates FDI, supports knowledge transfer, and expands innovation collaboration between both regions.
