Not any country in Eastern Europe but Vietnam and Brazil were the first destinations Sunbytes chose when we wanted to expand our global presence. So why software outsourcing to Vietnam? You may have wondered those things when we mentioned the name of the nation that was formerly exclusively known for its wars against France and the USA.

So what are the reasons why Sunbytes decided to start with Vietnam? In this page, we will reveal the main reasons why Sunbytes, as well as Samsung or Intel, decided to come, invest and hire dedicated software developers here.

An emerging software outsourcing location

At the end of 2021, the GDP of Vietnam was estimated at $ 368 billion, and in the last 11 months of 2021, there was nearly US$26.46 billion in FDI inflows.

Vietnam ranks no 9 in the list of the friendliest country. Vietnamese are timid but hospitable. However, hard-working is a proud tradition of most people in this growing country. Vietnamese engineers can sit hours in front of their computer screens to find a bug; they also can stick their eyes to their laptops until they accomplish the assignments for their clients.
