In a bold move that could reshape Vietnam's tech landscape, Elon Musk's SpaceX announced its intention to invest a staggering $1.5 billion in the Southeast Asian country. The investment aims to kickstart Starlink satellite services, bringing more reliable internet to Vietnam's 100 million citizens.
The Vietnamese government, led by President To Lam, is currently evaluating SpaceX's proposal. Discussions had hit a snag over ownership regulations and data control but were recently revived, signaling a breakthrough in talks. SpaceX's senior VP for global business and government affairs, Tim Hughes, highlighted the advantages this move would bring to education and disaster prevention efforts in Vietnam.
While the exact details of the investment remain under wraps, industry insiders note that Vietnam's aging internet infrastructure and complex geography pose significant challenges. Nonetheless, SpaceX's entry could provide a much-needed boost to Vietnam's connectivity, despite potential political tensions with neighboring China.
