Evolution Partners with HTC for Data Centers in Vietnam

APAC operator Evolution Data Centers has partnered with HTC International Telecommunication JSC (HITC) to develop data centers in Vietnam. EcoDC Data Centre (Hanoi) will be an expansion of HITC's existing facility in the Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park. The Ho Chi Minh City development will be a new, large-scale hyperscale data center designed to “meet the surging hyperscale and AI demand in southern Vietnam.”

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 centers that support this dynamic economy. Through this market entry, Evolution will be one of the first international data center 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.”

Nguyễn Hoàng Dương, vice chairman of HITC, added: “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 center 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.”
