In this field, SOLARA & CO is advancing a project that supports Japanese companies' entry into Vietnam, providing comprehensive support for technology introduction and local adaptation.
The Vietnamese Market's Needs and the Challenges Facing Japanese Companies
The Vietnamese government is accelerating its efforts in the environmental field, and expectations for Japanese technology in areas such as renewable energy, wastewater treatment, and waste recycling are rising. On the other hand, the characteristics of the local market, its institutions, and the environment for technology introduction also present their own hurdles.
"We're anxious about whether the technology will work locally," "We're not sure whether it can be introduced smoothly in terms of cost and regulation," "We can't find a trustworthy local partner" —
These are voices heard from many Japanese companies.
