HÀ NỘI — Vingroup has approved the establishment of a new subsidiary specialising in surgical robotics, marking the conglomerate's latest move to expand its footprint in advanced technology and healthcare innovation.

According to a board resolution disclosed on May 13, the new company will operate under the name VinSurgical JSC with charter capital of VNĐ300 billion (US$11.4 million). Vingroup will hold a controlling 51 per cent stake in the enterprise.

VinSurgical will be headquartered at the Symphony office building in the Vinhomes Riverside urban area in Hà Nội's Phúc Lợi Ward.

The company will focus on research, development and technology transfer related to surgical robots, smart medical devices and advanced healthcare support solutions.

The move adds another component to Vingroup's growing technology ecosystem, which has expanded rapidly in recent years beyond its traditional real estate and hospitality businesses.

In healthcare, the group already operates the nationwide Vinmec Healthcare System, including hospitals and medical facilities across Việt Nam.

The establishment of VinSurgical comes as Vingroup accelerates a broader strategic repositioning toward technology, research and intellectual property development.

The conglomerate has invested heavily in multiple high-tech sectors, including electric vehicles through VinFast, as well as artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing through subsidiaries such as VinAI, VinBigData and VinBrain.

At Vingroup's 2026 annual general meeting, Chairman Phạm Nhật Vượng said the group is also accelerating development of artificial intelligence applications and large language models integrated into its V-app ecosystem.

In robotics, VinSurgical is not Vingroup's first venture into the field.

Previously, the group established several robotics-focused subsidiaries, including VinRobotics, VinMotion and VinDynamics, which specialise in robot research, development and application technologies.

According to Vingroup, companies such as VinRobotics and VinMotion have already mastered more than 90 per cent of core robotics technologies, reflecting the group's ambition to build domestic technological capabilities in advanced manufacturing and automation.

The latest expansion into surgical robotics signals Vingroup's intention to deepen its presence in high-value healthcare technologies, a segment attracting an increasing amount of global investment amid rising demand for automation-assisted medical procedures.

On the stock market, the stock has climbed from around VNĐ130,000-140,000 per share at the start of the year to above VNĐ220,000, representing a gain of nearly 70 per cent in just over four months. — BIZHUB/VNS
