CENTRAL ORGANIZES “AI TRAINING AND APPLICATION PROGRAM” FOR EXECUTIVES AND MANAGEMENT TEAM

On March 6&7, 2026, CENTRAL Construction Joint Stock Company organized the program “AI Training and Application in the Workplace” for the BODs and managers at the Company’s headquarters. The program aimed to equip leaders with the mindset and practical skills to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) in management, operations, and daily work processes amid the accelerating wave of digital transformation.

The training program focused on key topics including an overview of AI and Generative AI, effective collaboration with AI tools through prompt engineering, and practical applications of AI in everyday tasks such as report summarization, information analysis, planning, and decision support. Through a combination of expert presentations and hands-on exercises, participants were introduced to the concept of using AI as a “digital assistant” to streamline workflows, shorten processing time, and improve overall management efficiency.

Sharing his perspective on the program, Mr. Tran Quang Tuan, Chairman of CENTRAL, stated: “CENTRAL highly values the knowledge and practical benefits that AI training programs bring. This is extremely useful knowledge that should soon be expanded to deputy project managers, department heads, and specialist teams directly involved in operations. At the same time, we should organize additional advanced training programs tailored to specific professional areas such as media, administration, human resources, engineering, finance, and accounting, with learning pathways ranging from two to six weeks. In the long term, our goal is to extend AI training to all employees across the company.”

Organizing a dedicated AI training program for the Company’s leadership and management teams demonstrates CENTRAL’s proactive approach to embracing emerging technologies while strengthening its governance capabilities. As the construction industry undergoes significant transformation supported by digital tools, AI is increasingly viewed as a key technology for optimizing workflows, enhancing productivity, and enabling faster, more accurate decision-making.

Throughout its development journey, CENTRAL has consistently considered human resource development and training as a critical factor in strengthening competitiveness and ensuring sustainable growth. The Company regularly organizes professional training programs, management skill development, and modern working methodologies for employees and leadership teams.

The program “AI Training and Application in the Workplace ” once again reaffirms CENTRAL’s commitment to continuous innovation, enhanced management capacity, and the adoption of advanced technologies. Through ongoing training initiatives, CENTRAL aims to cultivate a workforce with innovative thinking, strong leadership capabilities, and the agility required to adapt to the rapidly evolving business environment.

FAIRMONT HANOI OFFICIALLY OPENS, CENTRAL PROUDLY CONTRIBUTES TO VIETNAM’S FIRST 6-STAR HERITAGE HOTEL IN THE HEART OF OLD QUARTER

In February 2026, Fairmont Hanoi, one of the world’s most prestigious hotel brands with more than a century of heritage, officially announced the opening. Constructed by CENTRAL Construction Joint Stock Company as the main contractor, the project marks the debut of the first 6-star heritage hotel located in the historic Old Quarter of Hanoi, Vietnam.

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, part of the world  leading hospitality group Accor, is internationally renowned for creating landmark destinations that become deeply rooted in the cities. Since 1907, Fairmont has created magnificent, meaningful and unforgettable hotels, rich with character and deeply connected to the history, culture and community of its destinations. Today, Fairmont operates more than 80 hotels and resorts globally, positioned within the concept of “luxury heritage hospitality” delivering refined experiences that merge historical legacy, local culture, and world-class hospitality.

Fairmont Hanoi represents the culmination of extensive research into Vietnamese culture, history, and art. The project was designed by the internationally acclaimed firms Perkins Eastman and Aston Design, drawing inspiration from the artistry of traditional Vietnamese lacquer painting. Its design language incorporates iconic colors and motifs reflective of Vietnam’s cultural heritage, including the deep red hues symbolizing the Red River’s alluvial soil, French colonial Indochine aesthetics, and decorative patterns inspired by the historical dynasties of Vietnam.

At this landmark development, CENTRAL served as the main construction contractor for the project, which occupies a site of more than 10,000 square meters. The hotel features four basement levels and eight above-ground floors, accommodating 241 guest rooms, including 38 Fairmont Gold rooms, 12 suites, and a Presidential Suite. Given the project’s exceptional prestige and stringent international standards, meticulous planning and disciplined execution were essential throughout the construction process. Among the project’s most technically demanding achievements was the successful completion of a four-level transfer beam floor structure, a complex engineering feat involving massive transfer beams measuring 3 × 2.75 meters, integrated with post-tensioned cables spanning 27 meters within a dramatic 11.45-meter-high atrium space. This solution required advanced engineering capabilities, precise coordination, and rigorous quality control throughout the construction phase.

Sharing insights on the debut of Vietnam’s first six-star heritage hotel, Mr. Jean-François Brun, General Manager of Fairmont Hanoi, stated:  “We are delighted to indulge our guests in Fairmont’s distinguished hospitality and its premier presence in Hanoi. Fairmont Hanoi joins some of the most storied addresses in the world and we are excited to showcase how we’ve blended our brand’s century-long heritage with the distinctive culture, character, and daily rhythm of Hanoi unfolding around us.”

The opening of Fairmont Hanoi represents a significant milestone in the continued elevation of Vietnam’s luxury tourism and hospitality sector, meeting the rapidly growing demand from high-end travelers. As a key contributor to the project’s construction, CENTRAL takes pride in helping create a landmark development that embodies heritage value and international standards, further affirming its capabilities as one of Vietnam’s leading construction contractors capable of meeting the rigorous technical and quality requirements of the world’s most prestigious hotel brands.

The project also strengthens CENTRAL’s portfolio in the high-end hospitality and resort real estate sector, a strategic segment where the company consistently invests in improving construction quality and technical excellence.
