Stavian Group Highlights Talent Education at Fortune SEA500 Summit

Stavian Group presented its infrastructure vision for the artificial intelligence era at the inaugural Fortune SEA500 Summit 2026, held under the theme “New Horizons, Enduring Growth.” As a Partner of the summit, the Vietnam-headquartered company joined policymakers, investors and business leaders from across the region to discuss innovation, infrastructure and long-term competitiveness amid shifting supply chains, digital transformation and evolving investment flows.

A central theme of the event was the need for solid foundations that allow businesses to thrive in a more interconnected and technology-driven economy. Stavian Group used the platform to underline that successful AI-driven growth depends not only on technological progress but also on robust underlying infrastructure. This includes digital connectivity, energy resilience, investment capacity and talent development.

Mr. Le Dang Dung, Chairman of Stavian High Tech Infrastructure, contributed to the panel discussion titled “Building the AI Growth Engine.” He shared practical insights into the conditions required to unlock sustainable AI-driven growth. His remarks reflected a broader strategic conviction within Stavian Group that infrastructure will serve as a defining enabler of economic expansion in the AI era.

The discussion highlighted how digital networks, reliable energy systems, capital availability and skilled human resources must advance together if the region is to convert technological opportunity into lasting competitive advantage.

The summit also marked a significant recognition for Stavian Chemical, which appeared in the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 ranking for the second consecutive year. During the recognition ceremony, Mr. Tony Dinh Duc Thang, Founder and Chairman of Stavian Group, accepted the ranking certificate on behalf of Stavian Chemical. The acknowledgment reinforces the company’s standing among Southeast Asia’s leading enterprises and reflects years of international expansion, operational excellence and sustained trust from customers and partners in global markets.

For Stavian Group, the recognition of Stavian Chemical represents more than a ranking position. It demonstrates the strength of the business foundation that enables the group to pursue wider ambitions. Building on that foundation, Stavian Group is increasingly oriented toward infrastructure-led growth through its four strategic pillars: Industry, Technology, Energy and Trade. The company views infrastructure not merely as physical assets but as the networks, technologies, energy systems and enabling platforms that connect industries, accelerate innovation and generate long-term value.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries and economies, Stavian Group identifies substantial opportunities to contribute to the infrastructure ecosystems that will support sustainable growth in Vietnam, Southeast Asia and the broader Asia-Pacific region. The company positions itself as an integrator of industrial, digital and energy systems that help markets become more connected and resilient.

Participation in the inaugural Fortune SEA500 Summit provided Stavian Group with more than visibility. It offered a forum to engage with global leaders, strengthen strategic partnerships and articulate a long-term vision for growth in an AI-driven world. The discussions reinforced the importance of aligning private-sector investment with regional priorities around connectivity, energy security and human-capital development.

Looking ahead, Stavian Group remains committed to leveraging the strengths of its existing business ecosystem, including the continued performance of Stavian Chemical, while expanding its contribution to future-ready infrastructure, innovation and sustainable economic development. Through collaboration, long-term investment and a focus on creating meaningful impact, the group aims to help shape the next generation of growth across Southeast Asia and beyond.

Stavian Group operates as a Vietnam-headquartered infrastructure enterprise spanning Industry, Technology, Energy and Trade. It maintains activities in more than 100 countries and territories, connecting industrial, digital and energy ecosystems that support market integration and long-term value creation. Building on its global platform, the company concentrates on infrastructure that underpins future innovation and development. Its stated ambition is to become a Global Top 500 enterprise while contributing to a connected, sustainable and resilient future for the region.

The emphasis placed on talent development during the summit discussions aligns with the recognition that technological capability alone is insufficient. Skilled professionals capable of designing, operating and scaling AI-enabled systems form an essential component of the infrastructure stack. By highlighting this dimension alongside digital connectivity and energy resilience, Stavian Group framed talent education and continuous capability building as strategic priorities for the AI era.

In the coming period, the company intends to continue expanding its role within the infrastructure ecosystems that will enable AI-driven economic activity. Collaboration with partners, sustained investment and a clear focus on practical impact remain central to that approach.
