Vietnam's Vingroup to invest $12.75mn in VinMotion USA to boost robotics expansion in US

Under a board of directors resolution issued on May 29, the company will invest US$12.75 million in VinMotion USA, Inc., a Delaware-incorporated entity focused on the research and development of humanoid robots and advanced technology solutions, according to a company disclosure.

Accordingly, the board approved the acquisition of shares or capital contributions in VinMotion USA, Inc. from VinMotion General Purpose Humanoid Robots Application, Development and Research Joint Stock Company, a Vingroup subsidiary.

This overseas investment, carried out through the acquisition of shares or capital contributions in a foreign economic organization for the purpose of participating in its management, is in line with Vietnam’s Law on Investment, according to the disclosure.

The initiative, titled the ‘Project on the Establishment of VinMotion USA, Inc.,’ is designed to conduct research and development of humanoid robots and technology solutions.

It also aims to establish a research and development center in the U.S. to attract global talent and collaborate with leading universities, research institutions, and top-tier technology partners worldwide.

Under the project, VinMotion USA will continue to be headquartered in Delaware.

The facility is expected to attract global talent and deepen collaboration with universities, research institutions, and leading technology partners worldwide.

The investment underscores Vingroup’s continued push into robotics and artificial intelligence as the conglomerate accelerates the expansion of its broader technology ecosystem in recent years.

According to a Vingroup report, VinMotion launched two humanoid robots last year, according to news site VnExpress.

Vingroup is a diversified conglomerate operating across multiple sectors, including electric vehicle manufacturing, technology, real estate, infrastructure, energy, and steel.

This year, the group plans to generate VND485 trillion ($18.4 billion) in revenue, up nearly 46 percent from the previous year, while net profit is projected at VND35 trillion ($1.3 billion), nearly three times the level recorded in 2025, VnExpress reported.
