This new subsidiary gives the Group a permanent local base to support the acceleration of mobility projects in a country where infrastructure needs are undergoing a major transformation.
SYSTRA strengthens its presence in Vietnam with the opening of a new subsidiary

Present in Vietnam for more than twenty years, SYSTRA has already contributed to several key projects for the country’s urban networks. In Hanoi, the Group has been supporting the development of the capital’s metro since 2007. Line 3, whose first elevated section opened in 2024, is continuing its rollout with an underground section between Cau Giay and Hanoi Station. In Ho Chi Minh City, SYSTRA also took part in the design of the elevated sections and associated stations of Metro Line 1, inaugurated at the end of 2024.

This long-standing experience now comes at a time of strong acceleration in the Vietnamese market. The country is pursuing ambitious growth objectives and is investing heavily in its infrastructure to support its economic, urban and industrial development. Metro, regional rail and high-speed rail projects are expected to play a central role in this transformation by strengthening connections between major metropolitan areas, industrial hubs, port zones and tourist regions.

Created in January 2026, SYSTRA Vietnam has its main office in Ho Chi Minh City, in the Thảo Điền district, as well as a project presence in Hanoi.

This new local presence enables the Group to work as closely as possible with its Vietnamese clients and partners, while drawing on SYSTRA’s international expertise in transport planning, civil engineering and railway systems studies, integration, project management and operational support.

With SYSTRA Vietnam, we are moving from a project-based approach to a local platform approach, capable of structuring our development, anchoring our partnerships and mobilizing the Group’s international expertise at a pivotal moment.

SYSTRA is notably involved in several high-speed rail projects in the country, alongside public and private stakeholders such as VinGroup, Masterise and Becamex. This momentum illustrates the rapid evolution of the Vietnamese market, characterized by ambitious timelines, high technical requirements and the need to structure mobility solutions suited to the growth of major urban regions.
