A young and skilled workforce, combined with a rapidly expanding startup ecosystem, has positioned Vietnam as an attractive destination for investment in data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. These drivers are fueling widespread digitalization across industries, particularly in the financial and banking sectors. The presence of global financial and technology corporations in Vietnam plays a crucial role in connecting local talent with international standards. Establishing innovation and technology centres by multinational banks not only generates large-scale employment opportunities but also transfers knowledge, modern processes, and operational culture — enhancing Vietnam’s competitiveness on the global technology map. In this week’s episode of Vietnam Innovators (English), host Hao Tran speaks with Patrick Wright, Group Executive for Technology & Enterprise Operations at National Australia Bank (NAB). Patrick shares the story behind building NAB’s Innovation Centre in Vietnam, his perspective on Vietnam’s strategic role in the bank’s global technology ecosystem, and his reflections on leadership, innovation velocity, and the future of banking in the age of AI. — Too busy to sit down for the video?
