The Brazil Vietnam Chamber of Commerce carried out an institutional visit to CT Group on January 16, 2026, one of Vietnam’s leading technology and innovation corporations. The mission was led by Dionathan Santos, Founder and Executive President of the BVC Representative Office in Vietnam, accompanied by Dat Nguyen, Senior Advisor of the Chamber. The agenda took place at the group’s office in Ho Chi Minh City and included meetings with the management of CT UAV, the drone division, as well as technical and commercial representatives from CT UAV and GASCO. The objective was to gain an in depth understanding of the group’s technological ecosystem and to evaluate concrete possibilities for cooperation with the Brazilian market.
Founded in 1992, CT Group currently operates in 12 strategic business lines and is recognized as one of the pioneers of Industry 4.0 in Vietnam. In 2022, the group was awarded the First Class Labor Medal by the President of Vietnam. Its activities cover areas such as drones, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, smart cities, electric mobility and high speed railways. The conglomerate has five drone factories in operation in southern Vietnam, two semiconductor plants, R&D centers in Vietnam and Taiwan, as well as innovation hubs and technical training centers.
During the visit, the BVC team was introduced to the CT UAV portfolio, which presented 16 different drone models for applications in logistics, precision agriculture, public security, firefighting, disaster rescue, mining, industrial inspection and environmental preservation. Highlights included heavy cargo drones with payload capacity between 60 kg and 300 kg, already exported on a large scale to South Korea, agricultural drones for mapping and spraying, and firefighting drones capable of operating in high risk areas with innovative hose and extinguisher transport systems.
CT UAV also demonstrated proprietary technologies such as the Magic Brush system, which ensures stability even with different propellers, the multi level safety system that allows safe landing even in case of propeller failure, and autonomous swarm firefighting with multiple drones coordinated automatically. Another competitive advantage presented was the vertical integration of the production chain, with the in house development of semiconductor chips specifically for drones. CT Semiconductor operates the first Vietnamese chip factory with 100 percent national technology and plans to reach a capacity of 100 million chips per year by 2027.
In the field of advanced air mobility, the CT 2W1 prototype was presented, an electric eVTOL passenger aircraft with capacity for five people, a top speed of up to 200 km per hour and a flight autonomy of up to two hours. The visit also included the presentation of the VGCT unit, focused on genetic and cellular therapies, regenerative medicine and corneal transplants, as well as the group’s projects in high speed railways and low altitude economy, with emphasis on the LAE Center under development in Ho Chi Minh City.
During the meetings, multiple opportunities for cooperation between CT Group and Brazil were identified, especially in the sectors of smart cities, agribusiness, mining, infrastructure, energy, public security, environment, semiconductors and biotechnology. The Vietnamese solutions can meet Brazilian demands in urban monitoring, wildfire fighting, precision agriculture, dam inspection, transmission lines, highways and environmental preservation, in addition to opening space for partnerships in technological development, knowledge transfer and the training of engineers.
At the end of the visit, the Brazil Vietnam Chamber of Commerce defined an action agenda to enable bilateral cooperation, including institutional articulation with the embassies of Brazil in Vietnam and Vietnam in Brazil, closer ties with the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, mapping of commercial partners in Brazil and identification of clients for pilot projects. According to Dionathan Santos, the visit highlighted Vietnam’s potential as a strategic technological partner for Brazil. He emphasized that CT Group demonstrates a level of industrial maturity and innovation capable of contributing concretely to Brazilian challenges in areas such as agribusiness, public security, infrastructure and the environment, and that BVC’s role is to transform this potential into real partnerships, pilot projects and sustainable business between the two countries.
The visit to CT Group reinforces the new phase of economic relations between Brazil and Vietnam, which is advancing beyond traditional trade into areas of high technology, innovation and sustainability. With a diversified portfolio, international validation and strong production capacity, CT Group positions itself as a potential strategic partner for Brazilian companies and for local governments interested in advanced solutions. The Brazil Vietnam Chamber of Commerce will continue to act as an institutional and commercial bridge to facilitate this approach and support the entry of Vietnamese solutions into the Brazilian market.
