SATRA and FPT signs agreement to accelerate digital transformation in commerce and service

On January 15, 2026, Saigon Trading Group (SATRA) and FPT Corporation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a comprehensive cooperation framework aimed at synergizing resources, enhancing operational efficiency, and accelerating technological applications in the commerce and services sector which contributes to the realization of the Political Bureau’s Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation. The event marks a pivotal step for both enterprises in strengthening connectivity, leveraging complementary strengths, and pursuing stable, sustainable development amidst the global shift towards a digital economy.

SATRA and FPT’s cooperation is expected to not only bring benefits to both businesses but also contribute to the common goals of Ho Chi Minh City 

Under the agreement, SATRA and FPT reached a consensus to coordinate investment, development, and the procurement of goods and services, while deploying technological solutions within their respective core strengths. The partnership focuses on enhancing governance and operational capabilities, optimizing the supply chain, expanding distribution channels, and gradually establishing new digital-based business models aligned with the long-term development strategies of both SATRA and FPT.

The collaboration takes place as SATRA maintains its role as the primary commerce and services enterprise of Ho Chi Minh City. With its large-scale operations and multi-sector ecosystem, SATRA is present throughout the entire value chain from spanning production, food processing, logistics, and wholesale markets to retail systems and the Satrafoods convenience store chain. For many years, SATRA has served as the city’s core force in market stabilization, ensuring the supply of essential goods and contributing to the social welfare of the country’s largest urban market.

Beyond its economic impact, SATRA is tied to a mission of community service and the implementation of Ho Chi Minh City’s trade development policies. Given the increasing demands for governance efficiency, transparency, security, and customer experience, SATRA has identified digital transformation as an imperative path to enhance competitiveness, modernize its operating system, and ensure long-term sustainable development.

As Vietnam’s leading technology group with a diverse ecosystem, FPT will partner with SATRA to drive development across multiple strategic sectors.

Furthermore, AI applications for operational management, such as access control, time and attendance, customer recognition, and process compliance monitoring will be studied and deployed by FPT in accordance with current legal regulations and personal data protection requirements.

Alongside specific initiatives, SATRA and FPT have agreed to collaborate on proposals, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, including consulting, R&D, pilot testing, and technology transfer. FPT will partner with SATRA to implement digital initiatives aligned with the 2030 digital transformation roadmap, aiming for a modern, data-driven, and technology-based management model.

Furthermore, FPT is considering incorporating SATRA’s products into its Sendo.vn e-commerce platform as a key pillar in its ecosystem development strategy. The synergy between SATRA’s stable, large-scale supply chain and FPT’s e-commerce platform is expected to expand distribution channels, enhance consumer reach, and optimize supply chain efficiency.

This partnership also paves the way for the development of Satrafoods convenience stores at selected FPT subsidiaries, broadening the distribution network and strengthening SATRA’s brand presence within the corporate and technology ecosystem
