Global tech giant FPT and Japan’s automotive software developer ATEC have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop next-generation automotive software, marking ATEC’s first international partnership.
The collaboration aims to address Japan’s growing demand for embedded system developers and the talent crunch in the automotive sector. Together, they will co-develop solutions for Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) and AUTOSAR systems for leading Japanese automakers.
As part of the deal, a new Offshore Development Center will be established in Ho Chi Minh City, with expansion plans underway.
“This partnership opens exciting opportunities for both sides in Japan’s dynamic automotive sector,” said Do Van Khac, CEO of FPT Japan.
With over 20 years of experience in automotive technology and $500 million revenue from Japan in 2024, Vietnam-based FPT aims to double that figure and become a top 15 IT services provider in Japan by 2027.
Founded in 1988, ATEC is a certified engineering partner of Germany’s Vector Informatik and a key player in Japan’s automotive software space.
