Our participation reflected Ekotek’s long-term commitment to supporting Japanese businesses with practical, high-impact DX and AI solutions while building deeper partnerships between the two markets.

Day 1 Highlights – Keynote from Ekotek Japan CEO

During the main conference session, Nikita Ngan Nguyen, CEO of Ekotek Japan, delivered a presentation addressing the current business landscape for Japanese enterprises and how technology partners in Vietnam can help overcome pressing challenges.

Key Challenges Facing Japanese Enterprises Today

Japanese companies across industries are under growing pressure to modernize while maintaining operational stability. Some of the most common difficulties include:

• Aging workforce and shrinking labor pool
• Heavy reliance on legacy systems and outdated infrastructure
• Manual, paper-based, and siloed workflows
• Slow DX adoption due to risk sensitivity and compliance requirements
• Rising operational costs and productivity gaps
• Difficulty scaling AI initiatives due to lack of in-house expertise
• Integration complexity across departments and subsidiaries
• Increasing demand for data-driven decision making

These challenges create a strong need for trusted technology partners who can deliver modernization safely, incrementally, and effectively.

How Ekotek Supports DX and AI Transformation

In her talk, Nikita introduced Ekotek’s core capabilities and how we help Japanese organizations modernize with confidence.

Ekotek brings:

• Deep domain know-how across industries: manufacturing, retail, education, banking and finance, logistics,…
• Strong multi-stack technical expertise across modern and enterprise technologies
• Extensive experience in:
  • Digital transformation programs
  • Legacy system migration
  • Paper-to-software workflow conversion
  • Process automation platforms

AI & Intelligent Automation Solutions

Ekotek also showcased its growing AI solution portfolio, including:

• Enterprise chatbots for internal and customer support
• AI agents for workflow automation
• GenAI-powered productivity tools
• Intelligent document processing
• Automation systems that reduce manual effort and turnaround time

Equally important, Ekotek continuously improves its delivery and collaboration processes to better align with Japanese working styles and quality expectations.

Day 2 – Company Tour at Ekotek Hanoi

We were pleased to host representatives from organizations including:

• Sumi Hanel
• Public Interest Foundation International Manpower Development Organization, Japan
• Fukuoka City Government
• NTT East
• NTT E-MOI
• Vinasa

During the visit, participants met with our leadership and engineering teams, explored our delivery model, and discussed potential cooperation opportunities in DX and AI projects. The conversations were open, practical, and forward-looking, exactly the kind of exchange ICT Japan Day aims to foster.

Looking Ahead

ICT Japan Day 2026 reinforced the growing momentum of Vietnam-Japan technology collaboration. For Ekotek, the event was not only a showcase opportunity but also a platform for meaningful dialogue and long-term partnership building.

We thank VINASA and all participating organizations for making the event successful. Ekotek remains committed to delivering high-quality DX and AI solutions and serving as a reliable technology partner for Japanese enterprises entering their next stage of digital growth.
