People&Technology (PnT), a Korean provider of AI and IoT-powered smart hospital solutions, sent CEO Hong Seong Pyo and Head of Global Service Elodie Szablewski to Ho Chi Minh City from September 9 to 11, 2026, to take part in the Korea-Vietnam AX Partnership Program, hosted by NIPA (National IT Industry Promotion Agency) and its Ho Chi Minh IT Support Center.
The visit builds directly on People&Technology's first market visit to Hanoi a year ago, marking a deliberate next step in the company's expansion into Vietnam rather than a one-off appearance.
Over the three-day program, the schedule moved from an orientation and pre-event briefing with the other participating Korean companies, to a seminar day combining company presentations with an industry site visit, and finally a full day of open networking with local buyers and institutional partners at the Saigon Innovation Hub (SIHUB).
Elodie Szablewski presents People&Technology to local and government stakeholders at the AX Partnership Seminar, SIHUB.
The centerpiece of the visit was Elodie's company presentation on the seminar day, where People&Technology introduced itself directly to a room of Vietnamese and Korean stakeholders, including representatives from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology and the Korean Consulate General. Rather than a fundraising pitch, the session was designed as a first, direct introduction: what People&Technology builds, what its IndoorPlus+ platform does, and the kind of local partnership the company is looking to build in Vietnam.
For a company still early in its Vietnam journey, putting that message directly in front of local partners and government stakeholders, in person, was the primary purpose of the trip.
Vietnam's technology sector is advancing at an exceptional pace, and its digital healthcare market is emerging as one of the region's most promising growth opportunities. The Vietnamese government has set a target of paperless hospital processes by 2027, a goal People&Technology's IndoorPlus+ platform is well positioned to support.
Combined with well-established network infrastructure and a highly capable IT workforce, Vietnam is well placed to adopt smart hospital solutions, and the timing matters: the country is navigating the economic pressures of an aging population alongside a significant nursing shortage, currently around 1.5 nurses per 1,000 people, well below the OECD-recommended minimum of 3.
People&Technology is already in active discussions with local institutions and system integrators in Vietnam, with strong early interest in real-time hospital monitoring and smart healthcare solutions. The team will remain in the region until September 24 and will also take part in Pharmedi 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City, September 22 to 24.
People and organizations interested in exploring a partnership with People&Technology in Vietnam are welcome to reach out while the team is on the ground.
