Vietnam’s Growing AI Market Creates New Opportunities for NPU Technology

Vietnam is strengthening its position as an AI research, development, and application hub in Southeast Asia. Under its national AI strategy, the Vietnamese government aims to develop the country into a leading center for AI research, development, application, and value creation in ASEAN and Asia by 2030. The strategy also emphasizes strengthening national capabilities in AI research, technological autonomy, adoption, and governance.

As AI adoption continues to expand across education, public services, and industrial operations, demand for efficient AI computing infrastructure is expected to grow. Against this backdrop, DeepX and SotaTek Korea plan to introduce DeepX NPU products, including the DX-M1, to the Vietnamese market and identify potential business opportunities.

NPU technology is designed to accelerate AI workloads through specialized processing architecture. By enabling AI inference directly on devices, it can support applications that require efficient computing, low latency, and reduced reliance on cloud infrastructure. These capabilities are relevant to emerging applications in AI Vision, industrial automation, and Physical AI.

Education will be the initial focus of the partnership. DeepX and SotaTek Korea plan to collaborate with leading Vietnamese universities that offer AI-related programs to develop specialized talent and strengthen practical knowledge of AI semiconductor technology.

The initiative is intended to provide students and future engineers with opportunities to learn about and work with DeepX NPU technology. By establishing an educational foundation, the two companies aim to contribute to the development of a local talent pool capable of researching, developing, and operating AI-based systems.

Building on this cooperation, the partners will explore opportunities to expand into government, public services, and manufacturing. Potential application areas include AI Vision and Physical AI solutions for surveillance and security, industrial safety management, and quality inspection.

These applications reflect the growing role of edge AI and AI-enabled devices in connecting intelligent algorithms with real-world environments. The partnership seeks to combine semiconductor technology with software development and system integration capabilities to explore solutions suited to Vietnam’s market needs.

Complementary Roles in Technology, Education, and Market Development

Under the MoU, DeepX and SotaTek Korea will contribute complementary capabilities to the partnership.

DeepX will provide NPU products, develop educational content, and support marketing activities related to the initiative. SotaTek Korea will lead local coordination, including recruiting participating universities, managing program operations, providing maintenance support, and overseeing overall business activities.

The companies plan to work with Vietnamese universities and relevant institutions to expand the educational program. The initiative will operate based on minimum actual costs associated with each party’s responsibilities, with the aim of supporting broader participation from local academic institutions.

The agreement was signed in the presence of key representatives from both companies and the Korea Intelligent Transport Systems Association, as well as representatives from Vietnam’s Ministry of Construction. The signing took place during the 2026 Gangneung ITS World Congress, an international event bringing together stakeholders in intelligent transport systems and related technologies.

With extensive software engineering experience, technical consulting capabilities, and the ability to mobilize dedicated engineering teams, SotaTek helps companies expand their development capacity and take on more complex technology initiatives.

Together, the two companies aim to provide a more connected technology journey:

• BUILD – Turn ideas into products through discovery, product development, and MVP delivery.
• RUN – Continue improving, maintaining, and supporting products as they gain traction.
• SCALE – Expand engineering capacity and technical capabilities as business requirements become more demanding.

The goal is simple: help businesses move from an initial idea to a growing, evolving technology operation, with complementary capabilities supporting them along the way.

We are excited to bring this partnership to life and explore what we can build together.

One partnership. Complementary strengths. From the first build to the next stage of

Ha Tang (Hạ Tầng in Vietnamese) puts that work in one place, with AI doing the repetitive part. It is built by Sota Labs, the products unit of SotaTek, and it is the platform under SotaTek's own products, including Hocdi.ai and tatca.ai. This article introduces Ha Tang, its main modules, who it is for and how to get started.

1. What Is Ha Tang?

Ha Tang is a business platform that joins customer support, sales, payments and invoicing into one flow. A customer writes on any channel, the AI assistant answers or a person takes over, the order is drafted in the chat, a VietQR payment is matched to it automatically, and the e-invoice is issued when the money arrives.

It is made of modules a business turns on as it needs them:

• Customer Support: one inbox for every channel, with an AI assistant.
• Products and orders: a catalog the AI and agents sell from inside the chat.
• Payments: VietQR bank transfers matched to orders, paid straight into the business's own account.
• E-invoices and accounting: invoices issued from paid orders, and books that follow the cash.
• Email: sending and receiving from the business's own domains.

Ha Tang serves two kinds of users. Shop owners, support teams and accountants work in the dashboard and the apps. Developers connect their own website or app through the API, SDKs and an MCP server for AI coding agents.

2. Why SotaTek Built Ha Tang

SotaTek has spent a decade building software for clients in 25 countries. When Sota Labs started building SotaTek's own consumer products, each one needed the same back office: support on many channels, payments by bank transfer, e-invoices, and transactional email.

In Vietnam that back office is harder than it looks:

• Customers spread across channels. Zalo, Facebook, TikTok and the website each have their own inbox, and the same customer appears as a stranger in each one.
• Payments arrive as bank transfers. Someone has to read the transfer note, find the order and confirm it, often late at night.
• Every sale needs an e-invoice. Issuing it by hand from a separate tool is slow and easy to miss.

Rather than stitch together a different vendor for each job, Sota Labs built one platform that does all of them on the same customer record, and opened it to other businesses as Ha Tang.

3. Key Features of Ha Tang

3.1. One Inbox for Every Channel

Messages from the website widget, the business's own mobile app, email, Zalo OA, personal Zalo, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, TikTok and TikTok Shop, WhatsApp, Telegram, LINE and X arrive in one shared inbox. The same customer is one profile across all of them, so an agent sees the whole history wherever the customer wrote.

Agents can assign conversations, leave internal notes, set reminders and schedule messages. The profile shows what the customer looked at before they wrote and what they bought after, so the team answers with context instead of asking again.

3.2. An AI Assistant That Learns from the Team

The AI assistant answers from the business's own knowledge: articles the team writes, pages of its website that Ha Tang reads and keeps up to date, and the product catalog with real prices. It can be the first responder, a draft writer for agents, or off, and it hands the conversation to a person with a summary when it can't help.

When an agent writes a better answer, one click teaches it to the AI. Questions the AI could not answer are collected in a list, so the team fills the gaps once instead of answering the same question every day.

3.3. Selling Inside the Conversation

Products, orders and payments live in the chat. The AI and agents send product cards, draft an order for the customer to confirm, and send a VietQR code for that order without leaving the conversation.

3.4. VietQR Payments Matched to Orders

Customers pay by scanning a VietQR code in their banking app, and the money goes straight into the business's own bank account, not a wallet in between. Ha Tang matches each incoming transfer to its order and marks the order paid, so nobody reads bank statements to confirm orders.

3.5. E-invoices and Accounting

When an order is paid, Ha Tang issues the e-invoice through the business's e-invoice provider. A reconciliation screen compares the money that arrived with the invoices issued and lists what is still missing, and every morning owners get an email about yesterday's money that still has no invoice.

3.6. Email on the Business's Own Domain

Ha Tang sends transactional and marketing email from the business's verified domains, with templates, broadcasts and automations. It also receives mail for the domain: support@ lands in the support inbox next to chat, and email groups forward team@ or sales@ to everyone's personal mailbox without paying for a seat per address.

4. Built for Developers and AI Coding Agents

The core of the platform is also an API, so a business can run Ha Tang behind its own website or app:

• Email API: a Resend-compatible POST /emails, an SMTP relay, React Email templates, inbound email as webhooks, and email groups.
• SDKs: the web chat widget, React and Next.js, React Native, Flutter, iOS (Swift), Android (Kotlin), Node.js, Python and a WordPress plugin.
• Webhooks: signed events for email, conversations, orders and payments.
• Docs for machines as well as people: every page of the developer hub is also served as Markdown, with an llms.txt index and an OpenAPI 3.1 spec.
• An MCP server (@hatang/mcp) lets AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code search the docs and call the API, with a read-only mode. Agent rules ship inside the npm packages, so an agent writes the integration the right way the first time.

A developer who builds a shop with an AI coding agent can add live chat, an AI assistant and VietQR checkout by asking the agent, and the agent reads the real docs instead of guessing field names.

5. Support Inside Your App, and on the Go

With the mobile SDKs, customers get help without leaving the business's own app. In the tatca.ai app, a user asks which monthly plans exist; the AI assistant answers with the real prices from the catalog and sends a product card with View and Buy buttons, then compares two plans when asked.

Agents are not tied to a desk either. Ha Tang has native apps for iPhone, Android and Mac, on the App Store, Google Play and the Mac App Store, with push notifications for new messages. From the phone an agent replies, sends a product or a payment, assigns a conversation and sees the customer's profile, the same as in the browser.

6. Who Uses Ha Tang

Ha Tang runs the back office of SotaTek's own products before it runs anyone else's.

• tatca.ai, an AI platform with more than 500,000 users on the web, iOS and Android, runs its support inbox, AI first responder, email, VietQR payments and invoicing on Ha Tang. Its AI assistant answers questions about plans and prices from a catalog of more than 30 products, and purchases from the web and the app stores sync to each customer's profile. The full story is in the tatca.ai case study.
• Hocdi.ai, the AI tutoring platform, uses Ha Tang for in-app support with an AI assistant that knows its course catalog.

The platform is built for the same kind of business outside SotaTek: online shops, education and subscription products, and service companies that sell and support customers in Vietnam.

7. How to Get Started

1. Create a free account at hatang.dev. No card is needed.
2. Connect a first channel, usually the website widget or Zalo OA.
3. Add a few knowledge articles and the product catalog, then switch the AI assistant on.
4. Link a bank account to take VietQR payments, and an e-invoice provider when you are ready to invoice.
5. Developers can start from the developer hub or the Next.js starter.

Pricing is per module, in VND, with a free plan to start. Step-by-step guides are in the help center.

Conclusion

Ha Tang gives a business one place to answer customers on every channel, sell in the conversation, get paid by VietQR and issue e-invoices, with AI taking the repetitive work. It grew out of what SotaTek's own products needed, and it now runs products with hundreds of thousands of users.
