Huawei Expands Its Vietnam Footprint With New 5G and Clean-Energy Investments

By Zenia Pearl V. Nicolas

Huawei is strengthening its presence in Vietnam as the country accelerates its digital and renewable-energy transformation.

According to Reuters, Huawei, alongside ZTE, has secured new 5G equipment deals with major Vietnamese telecom operators. The agreements signal warming economic ties and a renewed push to modernize Vietnam’s connectivity infrastructure heading into 2026.

Beyond telecommunications, Huawei is also expanding into Vietnam’s green-energy sector. In January, the company agreed to supply inverters and energy-storage systems for a 100 MWp rooftop solar project, a milestone confirmed by The Investor.

Huawei is likewise evaluating deeper cloud and data-center expansion in the country, a move reported by both VietnamNet and DataCenterDynamics as Vietnam continues positioning itself as a rising Southeast Asian digital hub.

Industry analysts say these combined moves reflect a long-term strategy, tapping Vietnam’s fast-growing digital economy while aligning with its energy-transition goals. For local enterprises, the shift could mean improved access to advanced connectivity, cloud services, and integrated digital-energy solutions.
