The Vietnamese Association of Digital Transformation in Japan (VADX Japan) has officially joined SusHi Tech Tokyo 2025 as an ambassador and participant in a series of major events taking place from May 8-10 at Tokyo Big Sight.

Organised annually by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, SusHi Tech – short for “Sustainable High City Tech” – is Asia’s largest-scale technology exhibition.

Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Pham Quang Hieu attended the expo’s opening ceremony and visited the Vietnam City Booth, which features over 30 Vietnamese IT businesses operating in Japan. They are presenting innovative solutions and services with a strong focus on cutting-edge technologies such as AI, blockchain, IoT, cloud computing, and robotics.

In an interview with Vietnam News Agency correspondents in Tokyo, Nguyen Tuan Anh, Director of NAL Japan, noted that Japan is increasingly integrating emerging technologies into daily life. He expressed a desire to bring that expertise, along with experienced professionals who have helped develop the Japanese market, back to Vietnam.

Le Anh Tuan, CEO of Sanan, remarked that the Japanese government has ambitious digital transformation plans for education, opening up significant opportunities for Vietnamese start-ups in the sector.

Japanese entrepreneur Michiaki Matsunaga observed that his country is currently facing a serious shortage of IT talent. He suggested that partnerships between Japanese firms and Vietnamese system development companies could help address this gap. He said he believes such collaborations could form a powerful alliance in the industry.

Nguyen Hai Duong, COO of VTI – the co-chair of VADX Japan, said that SusHi Tech Tokyo 2025 provides Vietnamese IT companies with a prime opportunity to connect with major Japanese clients. These connections could lead to collaborative solutions tailored for the Japanese market, with potential for rollout in Vietnam as well.

VADX Japan currently comprises 35 member companies, employing nearly 7,000 people and generating over 1 billion USD in annual revenue. Duong expressed confidence that, with such a robust base, it is well-positioned to work with major Japanese firms to jointly develop and implement technology solutions in both countries./.VNA
