FPT Launches Flezi Foundry™, Advancing AI-Augmented Delivery for Global Enterprises

HANOI, Vietnam--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 22, 2026--

Global IT corporation FPT announced the launch of Flezi Foundry™ (FPT Digital Foundry™), an AI-augmented delivery platform for software development and IT operations. Built around a governed Service-as-a-Software model, the platform combines autonomous AI agents, human expert oversight, secure infrastructure, and outcome-based delivery mechanisms to help enterprises modernize technology delivery as AI agents become part of software engineering and IT operations.

Flezi Foundry applies Agentic Engineering, a structured delivery approach for software development and IT operations. The model brings AI agents into delivery workflows with human supervision, governance, transparency, and performance measurement built into the process.

Flezi Foundry operates through two service modes:

The platform is built on four foundations. These include hybrid sovereign infrastructure combining Azure Virtual Private Cloud and FPT AI Factory; Hybrid FTE Pods, where human supervisors govern AI agents through Human-in-the-Loop and Human-on-the-Loop models; capacity-based pricing linked to story-point velocity and outcome-based SLA tiers; and a Digital Brain and Skill Marketplace that captures reusable standards, runbooks, and expertise.

To support lower-risk adoption, FPT also provides a structured transition pathway. This begins with a discovery workshop to establish baselines, followed by pilot testing through A/B delivery teams or shadow-mode operations before progressing to full-scale deployment.

“Agentic AI is moving enterprise technology delivery into a new phase, where intelligence is embedded not only in tools, but in the operating model itself,” said Frank Bignone, FPT Software Senior Vice President and Head of Corporate Strategy & Growth, FPT Corporation. “With Flezi Foundry, FPT will continue to shape a future where software development and IT operations are delivered through governed human-agent collaboration, with speed, accountability, and business outcomes built into the foundation.”

The launch advances FPT’s broader AI-first growth strategy, building on FleziPT, FPT’s AI-first platform for enterprise transformation, and extending that foundation into software development and IT operations through Flezi Foundry. Together with FPT’s AI Factories in Vietnam and Japan, an AI-augmented workforce, global delivery network, and enterprise AI solution portfolio, the platform reflects FPT’s continued shift toward AI-first services with governed delivery models, repeatable practices, and outcome-based engagement structures.

FPT Launches Flezi Foundry™, Advancing AI-Augmented Delivery for Global Enterprises

HELSINGBORG, Sweden (AP) — NATO allies and defense officials expressed bewilderment on Friday at U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to send 5,000 U.S. troops to Poland just weeks after he had ordered 5,000 troops to be pulled out of Europe.

“It is confusing indeed, and not always easy to navigate,” Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard told reporters at a meeting she was hosting of her NATO counterparts, including U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

U.S. defense officials were also confused. “We just spent the better part of two weeks reacting to the first announcement. We don’t know what this means either,” said one of two officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said “I am pleased to announce that the United States will be sending an additional 5,000 Troops to Poland.” He said this was due to his strong ties with Polish President Karol Nawrocki, whom Trump endorsed in elections last year.

The apparent change of mind came after weeks of conflicting statements from Trump and his administration about reducing — not increasing — the American military footprint in Europe.

NATO allies have been blindsided, despite a U.S. pledge to coordinate troop deployments. “We’re going to stay well-synchronized with our allies moving forward,” NATO’s top military officer, U.S. Lt. Gen. Alex Grynkewich, promised on Wednesday.

Earlier this month, The Trump administration has said it was reducing levels in Europe by about 5,000 troops, and U.S. officials confirmed about 4,000 service members were no longer deploying to Poland.

That announcement came as Trump fumed over remarks by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who said that the U.S. was being “humiliated” by the Iranian leadership and criticized what he called a lack of strategy in the war.

Trump then told reporters that the U.S. would be “cutting a lot further than 5,000.” He also announced new tariffs on European cars. Germany is the continent’s biggest auto producer.

About 80,000 U.S. troops are stationed in Europe. The Pentagon is required to keep at least 76,000 troops and major equipment stationed in Europe unless NATO allies are consulted and there is a determination that such a withdrawal is in U.S. interests.

The withdrawal of 5,000 troops might drop numbers below that limit.

Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski welcomed Trump's decision, which ensures that “the presence of American troops in Poland will be maintained more or less at previous levels.”
