FPT is working with OKI to improve its software capabilities and global reach

Technology company FPT has entered into a partnership with OKI, a Japanese information technology company, through its subsidiary FPT Japan.

This partnership will see FPT gain partial ownership of OKI’s two software development subsidiaries in China, with the aim of improving software development capabilities and expanding global business operations.

Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed.

Effective April 1, 2025, Oki Data Dalian and OKI Software Technology will be renamed FPT OKI Dalian Limited Liability Company and FPT OKI Changzhou Limited Liability Company, respectively.

FPT Japan will hold a 65% stake in these entities, while OKI will retain the remaining 35% stake.

This initiative is in line with OKI’s medium-term business plan 2025, focused on global strategic partnerships.

The partnership aims to leverage FPT’s global reach and technological expertise alongside OKI’s industrial experience in social infrastructure.

It is expected to enable the delivery of cutting-edge software solutions, initially targeting Japan, China and the ASEAN region.

The joint entities will focus on developing ‘innovative’ business models, powered by FPT’s artificial intelligence (AI)-driven ecosystem.

In addition, the collaboration includes talent development, leveraging FPT’s capabilities in AI, enterprise resource planning, automotive technology and digital transformation.

This aims to cultivate a skilled workforce to drive joint initiatives and capitalize on emerging growth opportunities, FPT said.

FPT Software SEVP and FPT Japan CEO Do Van Khac said: “Our partnership with OKI reflects a shared commitment to using technology as a catalyst for both business transformation and societal progress. This partnership also marks the start of FPT’s continued support for restarting overseas operations, as outlined in OKI’s Medium Term Business Plan 2025, paving the way for impactful global expansion.

“By combining OKI’s deep market insights with FPT’s technological expertise and experience in delivering large-scale projects, we are well positioned to deliver innovative solutions that respond to changing market needs and enable companies across sectors to achieve operational excellence and achieve business flexibility.”

FPT has 4,000 employees in 17 offices in Japan and 15,000 professionals worldwide.

The company opened an office in Dalian, China, in March to provide support and digital solutions to regional and Japanese companies operating in the region.
