OKI and FPT Announce Capital and Business Alliance to Strengthen Global Strategic Partnership
OKI
has entered a strategic partnership with global technology corporation FPT,
through its subsidiary FPT Japan, agreeing partial ownership of OKI’s two
software development subsidiaries in China. The collaboration is set to
accelerate software development capabilities and drive global business
expansion for both companies.
Under the agreement, starting April 1, 2025, Oki Data Dalian Co., Ltd.
and OKI Software Technology Co., Ltd. will be rebranded as FPT OKI Dalian
Limited Liability Company and FPT OKI Changzhou Limited Liability Company,
respectively. FPT Japan will hold a 65% stake, while OKI will retain 35%. This
initiative also aligns with OKI’s Medium-Term Business Plan 2025, which focuses
on restarting overseas business, optimizing global offices, and building
strategic global partnerships to enhance long-term resilience in today’s
complex economic environment.
By combining FPT’s global reach and technological prowess with OKI’s
industrial expertise in social infrastructure, the partnership will provide
advanced software solutions to global markets, with an initial focus on Japan,
China, and the ASEAN region. The joint entities will prioritize developing
innovative, high-efficiency business models powered by FPT’s AI-driven
ecosystem to enhance business continuity, mitigate risks, and enable
sustainable growth. This also includes talent development, tapping into FPT’s
capabilities in AI, ERP, automotive technology, and digital transformation to
cultivate a highly skilled, future-ready workforce that will drive joint
initiatives and capitalize on emerging growth opportunities.
“2024 marks a year of significant growth for FPT in the Japanese market,
driven by major contracts, strategic investments, and the opening of new
offices. Our partnership with OKI reflects a shared commitment to leveraging
technology as a catalyst for both business transformation and societal
advancement,” said Do Van Khac, FPT Software SEVP and FPT Japan CEO, FPT
Corporation.
“This collaboration also marks the start of FPT's ongoing support for
restarting overseas business as outlined in OKI's Medium-Term Business Plan
2025, paving the way for impactful global expansion. By combining OKI's deep
market insights with FPT's technological expertise and experience in delivering
large-scale projects, we are well-positioned to deliver innovative solutions
that address evolving market needs and enable companies across industries to
achieve operational excellence and business agility,” he added.
After nearly two decades in Japan, FPT has become one of the largest
foreign-invested technology firms in the country by human resource capacity.
The company delivers services and solutions to over 450 clients globally, with
4,000 employees across 17 offices and innovation hubs in Japan and 15,000
professionals supporting this market worldwide. Leveraging its well-established
position in Japan and global resources, the tech firm also recently opened an
office in Dalian, China to extend support and provide end-to-end digital solutions
to regional and thousands of Japanese companies operating here.
