Tokyo, Nov 9th, 2026 – As part of the official visit to Japan, the Vietnam–Japan Public-Private Forum on Economic and Science-Technology Cooperation took place in Tokyo under the theme “Co-creating Technology, Co-creating the Future Value Chain”. The event was held with General Secretary and State President To Lam in attendance, alongside senior leaders and government officials from both countries.
Speaking at the forum, General Secretary and State President To Lam emphasized that Vietnam is entering a new phase of development, identifying science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, and high-quality human resources as key drivers. He also called on both sides to strengthen joint research, development, and commercialization of technology; prioritizing fields such as AI, semiconductors, and smart technologies.
During the event, CMC exchanged two Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) with Japanese partners, one between CMC University and the Matsuo Institute, and another between CMC Corporation and Mitsui & Co. These agreements mark a step forward in cooperation on education, research, and technology development, aligning with the direction of strengthening state-university-enterprise linkages that the General Secretary and State President highlighted.
At the forum’s exhibition space, CMC also showcased its technology solutions under the message of building Trusted AI through a Vietnam-Japan public-private cooperation model. The featured product was CLEX, an AI solution for legal and national public service support.
CMC addressed the data control challenges Japanese enterprises face amid internal digital transformation and AI adoption in both domestic and international competition, while proposing its initiative alongside the core technologies CMC has developed and mastered on CLEX. In particular, CMC emphasized its investment in solutions serving the national digital transformation mission, built on private data, private infrastructure, and fully controllable systems.
Through these activities, CMC reaffirmed its role as a proactive Vietnamese technology partner, contributing concretely to realizing the vision of “co-creating technology and co-creating the future value chain” set out by the leaders of both countries.
