Meta Revolutionizes AI Innovation In Vietnam

According to an official Reuters report dated October 1, Meta Platforms is forging ahead with investment in Vietnam, scoping in on AI innovation and its latest mixed reality headsets 2025. The announcement was revealed by the firm’s president for global affairs, Nick Clegg, during a visit to the country just a week after his meeting with the Vietnamese President to Lam in New York.

Nick Clegg stated, “Beginning 2025, Meta will expand manufacturing of its latest Mixed Reality device Quest 3S to Vietnam.” However, Meta did not reveal the size of the investment planned, neither did it disclose its current size of operations in the country.
