While studying for university exams, a group of friends and I booked a trip to Ho Chi Minh on a whim - a post-exam trip, we justified. We also spent a few days in the nearby city of Da Lat. While my memories of Vietnam are fuzzy, I’ve been told countless times to revisit the bustling and thriving city of Ho Chi Minh, a place for foodies, coffee and beer lovers, and techies alike. As AI fever sweeps across the globe, it’s no surprise that Vietnamese firms are also racing to get to the top of the field. One of the contenders, tech firm VNG, owns the popular messaging app Zalo, which locals use more than Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. The tech unicorn is building large language models targeted at Vietnamese users based on open-source code from US tech firms. It has also incorporated AI into its various products - from games, and payments, to cloud infrastructure. While VNG’s advantage of having a user base of over 75 million in the country - and therefore a large data source - could set it up for success, its chief executive, Le Hong Minh, has acknowledged the risks of investing in costly AI projects. No one said the race to the top was going to be easy. -- Melissa  ---------------------------------------------------------------  THE BIG STORY [AI race in Vietnam heats up as more tech giants join the bandwagon]( Analysts believe that only a handful of companies can compete in the AI race in Vietnam as it needs large capital and data handling requirements. ---------------------------------------------------------------  VISUAL STORY OF THE DAY [Mapping Indonesia’s key logistics players and ecommerce enablers amid slowdown (update)]( Funding for both sectors continues to decline from its peak in 2021 amid sluggish ecommerce growth after the pandemic. --------------------------------------------------------------- TECH IN ASIA’S REGIONAL FOUNDERS MEETUP: SINGAPORE Join Tech in Asia's 11th and final meetup of 2023!
