DatVietVAC Group Holdings is undergoing a comprehensive restructuring ahead of its planned IPO. The holding company, DatViet VAC Digital Venture, will own the VieON platform and the VieBoard joint venture, established in 2024 with NTT Docomo.

DatVietVAC’s shareholding is highly concentrated. Founders, employees, and related parties hold up to 86.6% of shares. The two co-founders own 36%, led by Chairman Đinh Bá Thành with 22% and Vice Chairman and CEO Đào Văn Kính with 14%.
Foreign investors hold 13.4%, including MET VM Holding Pte. Ltd. (part of UOB Group) at 12.2% and YF Capital via TC D-Media at 1.2%.
