Collaborating with numerous leading Korean companies and technology giants, CMC serves as an important partner in the Information Technology and Telecommunications sectors, specializing in delivering connectivity solutions to hundreds of Korean partners and clients worldwide. I believe that credibility and trust are critical to our long-term partnership. When it comes to the Korean market, we have three major goals in mind: Your Trusted Digital Partner, Accelerating Digital Transformation Together, Preparing for the Green Future Together.” 

At the event, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to the Republic of Korea, Mr. Vu Ho congratulated CMC and highly appreciated the business’s operating strategy in the Korean market: “With forward-thinking strategies in technology such as AI, digital transformation, and green technology, I am confident that CMC’s expansion in Korea not only presents an opportunity for the company to grow, expand its reach, and strengthen its position globally, but also contributes to shaping the image of a dynamic, innovative Vietnam.” Mr. Vu Ho expressed his belief that CMC would embark on a new era of potential and success. 

Ambassador Vu Ho is optimistic about CMC paving the way for a fresh era of potential and success. Director Trieu Minh Long stated “Vietnamese digital technology businesses, like CMC, are undergoing significant transformations and leading the charge in introducing make-in-Vietnam products to even the most discerning markets. This, in turn, contributes to advancing digital transformation efforts and fostering growth in the global digital economy.” 

Korea is currently one of Vietnam’s top economic partners. Both nations have set a mutual trade goal of achieving $150 billion USD in turnover by 2030. According to Korea Times statistics, the Korean government expects to invest $1.35 billion in research and development of new technologies to support digital transformation goals. With the Korean government investing in the information technology segment and the “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership” between Vietnam and Korea, CMC Corporation has a potential market to mark in its strategic area. 

“CMC Corporation differentiates itself by offering new and real value for consumers. Committed to accompanying as partners to success, we will use Vietnamese technology to collaborate with Korean firms to satisfy Korea’s information technology demands.” Mr. Dang Ngoc Bao, Deputy Executive Chairman of CMC Corporation/CEO of CMC Global, presented CMC’s competitive strategy in Korea. 

As one of CMC’s key strategic partners, on the occasion of the launch of CMC Korea, Mr. Kim Jung Pil – Executive Vice President of Samsung SDS, stated: ” CMC and Samsung SDS established a partnership in the spring of 2019 to boost worldwide cooperation and internationalization. CMC is Samsung SDS’s first partner in the Vietnam market. We would like to thank CMC for their support of Samsung SDS and for recognizing CMC’s technical expertise. Hopefully, this event will mark a fresh beginning in the future of cooperation in Korea as Korean business partners, Korean enterprises, and even in introducing CMC to the globe.” 

Over time, CMC and Samsung SDS have collaborated closely on numerous projects of diverse scopes and scales. The entire logistics system of Samsung SDS is currently operated by CMC. Currently, the total investment capital between the two sides has reached approximately 20 billion won (about 15 million USD). 

Recognizing Korea as a strategic market with a lot of potential, that demand systematic and substantial investment, CMC Corporation has forged partnerships with Korean enterprises for over two decades during its 31-year journey of construction and growth, including many leading companies in the manufacturing, consumer electronics, and technology industries such as Samsung SDS, SK Telecom, CJ Olive Network, Kookmin Bank, GS Retail, LGU+, SK Telink, and Hyundai IT,.. 

In particular, during the last ten years, CMC has conducted numerous exceptional efforts to provide direct services to Korean enterprises in Korea. CMC Corporation currently employs around 5,000 employees and the number of staff will rise to 10,000 to 15,000 by 2028. Staff dedicated to the Korean market make up around 30% of the total human resources. This strategic move aims to fortify CMC’s presence in Korea, a prominent hub for information technology in Asia, while also expanding its operational footprint in the region to realize the goal of global digital transformation and generate “billion-dollar” revenue from foreign markets. 

During the event, CMC Corporation marked a significant milestone by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with several partners, including KPS Steel, RSupport, and CoAsia Semi, operating under the official legal entity of CMC Korea. This marks an advancement in the “Go Global” strategy within the Korean market, further strengthening CMC Corporation’s presence in international markets. 

Furthermore, CMC aims to sustain growth in human resources, resources, and revenue from 2023 to 2028 by establishing additional offices in key regions with high demand for technology, such as Japan, Korea, Germany, and the United States. This demonstrates efforts to achieve the goal of becoming a Global Service Group, providing comprehensive digital transformation services ranging from consulting to implementation and management, while also maintaining and effectively supporting customers, with the ultimate goal of becoming a world-class billion-dollar technology service provider. 

Situated at the Signature Building in Seoul’s bustling Jung-gu district, CMC Korea’s office is strategically positioned amidst key customers, established enterprises, and prominent banking institutions in Korea.  

Positioned as a domestic technology company in Korea with a prime office location, CMC Korea will serve as an extension of CMC Corporation overall and specifically of CMC Global – International Business Division within the Korean market. This establishment solidifies its stance, enabling it to facilitate the penetration of Vietnamese technology into the global arena more extensively and deeply.
