What CT Group does

CT Group (Tập đoàn CTGroup) is a privately held Vietnamese technology and innovation conglomerate founded in 1992 and headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City. The group operates 15 business lines split between 12 high-tech subsidiaries and 3 sustainable sectors, serving government institutions, large enterprises, and academic partners across Vietnam and select international markets. High-tech subsidiaries include CT UAV (16 product lines for logistics, agriculture, defense, and surveillance), GASCO operating the Low Altitude Economy (LAE) platform, NDT 15 (a 15-Layer National Digital Twin integrating 300 data sources to enable 250 applications), CT Semiconductor and Diginal (ADC, Edge AI, and IoT chip design with an III-V Compound Fab under development), VGCT (biotechnology covering stem cells, gene editing, and xenotransplantation), CT Verse (space technology and satellites), CTrans Auto (autonomous electric vehicles), CTOptimal (AI for logistics, based in France), CCTPA (carbon credit trading platform), CT Modulex (robotic housing), CT Innovation Hub 4.0 (Web3/Blockchain/AI innovation center), and Carbondo (green cryptocurrency). Sustainable business lines cover smart city development (CT-Land, Metro Star), transportation infrastructure (CT Trains, CT Freeway, Logiinds), and clean food and healthcare retail (Bon Grocer).

CT Group generates revenue through a mix of hardware sales (UAV systems, semiconductor chips, robotic housing), professional services via CT Innovation Hub 4.0, transaction fees from carbon credit trading, and one-time real estate development (TOD projects, rental housing). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales combined with strategic government partnerships, evidenced by MoUs with Indonesia's Bappenas, Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, HCMC, and multiple provincial governments, alongside university research alliances (NUS, ASU, NTNU, Can Tho, Da Nang, UTH). International export traction includes a first export order of 5,000 cargo UAVs and 100 million semiconductor chips to South Korea, a Korea–Vietnam Airbility UAV prototype test, a Japan LAE partnership with FORCIX and VNX, and the first ASEAN sea-crossing UAV delivery route launched with Vietnam Post in February 2026. The company employs 1,001–5,000 people, maintains over 78,000 sqm of facilities across Vietnam and South Korea, and is chaired by founder Trần Kim Chung; revenue, ownership structure beyond the founder, and detailed financials are not publicly disclosed.
