Vietnam Multimedia Corporation VTC (vi|Tổng công ty Truyền thông đa phương tiện VTC) is a state-owned enterprise in Vietnam focused on multimedia services. Its offerings include cloud storage, finance, telecommunications, and online games. One of its notable ventures was the VTC Digital Television which they ran from 2004 until 2013 when it was taken over by the Voice of Vietnam and repurposed as VOV's television network, although the company maintains the "VTC" branding.
VTC originated from the Radio and Television Equipment Repair and Warranty Service Enterprise, established on February 12, 1988, under Decision No. 33/QĐ-BTT issued by the Ministry of Information. Later, on March 25, 1993, this enterprise was converted into the Information Technology Investment and Development Company (Intedico) under Decision No. 288/QĐ by the Ministry of Culture and Information.
In December 1996, the Vietnam Television Technology Investment and Development Company (VTC) was established through the merger of two companies, Ratimex and Telexim, into Intedico, under the Vietnam Television (VTV). On June 26, 2003, VTC was transferred from Vietnam Television to the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications (now the Ministry of Information and Communications).
Later, on July 29, 2005, the Vietnam Television Technology Investment and Development Company was converted into the Multimedia Corporation - VTC.
On June 28, 2010, VTC was converted into a one-member limited liability company (LLC) wholly owned by the state under Decision No. 929/QĐ-BTTTT of the Ministry of Information and Communications.
