Revolutionizing AI Infrastructure: CRC Partners with U.S. Firm and GDH to Build Advanced Data Center

The demand for data centers and AI in Vietnam is surging, driven by rapid digitalization and the proliferation of AI applications. This growth necessitates robust in-country data storage and processing capabilities. The AI sector faces two critical challenges: securing a stable and cost-effective power supply and implementing advanced data platform operational technologies.

Simultaneously, the trend of “sovereign AI”—developing, deploying, and managing AI technologies domestically—is gaining momentum. CRC, leveraging its renewable energy foundation, is venturing into the AI domain. Partnering with ADH and Haimaker, CRC aims to establish a competitive edge in green digital infrastructure. ADH specializes in data center construction, compliance, and operations, while Haimaker focuses on AI component management, automation, and the development of self-sufficient AI platforms.

Roles of Each Partner:

CRC, a leading Vietnamese investment and infrastructure firm in construction, energy, and technology, provides renewable energy and equipment for the project. CRC also mobilizes local labor, creates jobs, and strengthens supply chain linkages, thereby reducing energy costs and ensuring stable data center operations.

ADH oversees data center construction, permitting, and operations, adhering to stringent compliance and performance standards. Their expertise in data center management and technology transfer ensures project timelines, quality, and data security are maintained.

Haimaker specializes in managing and automating AI components and self-developed AI platforms, facilitating the development, training, and deployment of AI models. By activating the AI Cloud ecosystem, Haimaker connects AI services and applications, ensuring both domestic and international AI deployment readiness for commercialization.

According to the Letter of Intent (LOI), the collaboration aims to create jobs in Vietnam (with CRC mobilizing construction labor), transfer data center operation technologies (led by ADH), and promote AI service exports and ecosystem development (driven by Haimaker). The shared goal is to contribute to GDP growth, build sustainable green infrastructure, and advance sovereign AI models both domestically and internationally.

The LOI marks CRC’s strategic shift from renewable energy to AI-integrated digital infrastructure, encompassing the design, construction, and operation of AI data centers and AI Cloud platforms. This expansion transforms “green energy” into “green digital infrastructure” by integrating renewable energy sources into data center operations. Within this partnership, CRC’s role in providing renewable energy, equipment, and local labor is pivotal, as electricity costs are a critical factor in data center operational efficiency.

If successfully implemented, the project will deliver cutting-edge infrastructure, high-quality jobs, and technical expertise transfer, while contributing to the development of a national data center hub.
