Focus on developing technology

“The Group clearly orients to focus on developing the technology sector, artificial intelligence technology, semiconductor technology is very suitable for Vietnamese people”, Mr. Tuan assessed.

However, according to Mr. Tuan, currently, the technology sector in Vietnam is lagging far behind other countries in the region and the world. On the other hand, this sector mainly focuses on human development. Recognizing the clear strategy, KSF will build a platform related to universities linked to faculties of technology and foreign partners to train in this field.

Specifically, KSF will start constructing the Sunshine Wonder Tower project (expected in May) which is a complex of 5 towers, from 39 to nearly 50 floors, this is a multifunctional complex that can provide research centers, working offices, serviced apartments.

“The orientation is that this is the center of Vietnamese start-ups, providing working offices, and the company will also invest in well-structured research centers. In the future, from 5-10 years from now, hundreds of thousands of engineers will be trained here, then the field of KSF can compete and develop.”, Mr. Tuan informed.

In addition, Mr. Tuan added that the origin of the group started from technology, currently in the group there is Unicloud Technology Group Joint Stock Company (KSF owns 78.48%) which is a subsidiary related to technology.

Real estate is just supplementary?

Talking about RE projects, the Chairman shared that, recently, KSF has been restructuring, reorganizing issues related to fields and tasks of member companies. Currently, KSF is the parent company of projects such as Golden River, Sky City project in HCMC with a scale of 11 towers and the upcoming Sunshine Wonder Tower project.

With these projects, the time to complete in the next 3 years requires a huge investment of about 35 thousand billion, with revenue of about 50 thousand billion. These are the main projects, especially the Sunshine Wonder Tower project. The Group will only focus on RE projects associated with the development of research center complexes, working offices and serviced apartments rather than RE products for sale, that is one of the clear orientations for developing the RE and corporate sector.

The company’s orientation in this sector is to attract not only Vietnamese people to study and work, but also has a strategy to attract foreign scientists, with the best working environment, attract talents, create technological products, for the best efficiency.

“Neighboring countries such as Singapore or South Korea, their start-ups can develop up to tens of billions of dollars. If we do not focus on developing systematically, from the stages of training, research, it is difficult to create products that can compete. That is the strategy that the auxiliary sectors such as RE, all will be focused on the technology sector”, Mr. Tuan expressed his ambition.
