From an Email to a Meaningful Encounter

It began with a letter. Mr. Shintaro Suzuki, representing Kobayashi Create Singapore, reached out to SPHACY’s leadership with a clear intent: to identify strategic partners and investment opportunities within Vietnam’s rapidly evolving technology landscape.

Kobayashi Create did not come alone. They arrived in partnership with GGG (Greenway Grid Global) — an organization backed by TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company), focused on next-generation infrastructure investment, new business incubation, and the cultivation of transformational leaders. The pairing sent a clear signal: this was no courtesy visit. It was a serious, structured exploration of long-term collaboration.

We approached SPHACY because we saw something rare here — the intersection of digital technology, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare. These are precisely the domains where Kobayashi Create is looking to expand across Southeast Asia.

SPHACY — Three Pillars, One Ecosystem

SPHACY’s leadership presented the company’s strategic vision, built around three interconnected pillars — each reinforcing the others in an integrated approach to transforming healthcare in Vietnam:

💊

Pharmaceutical

💻

Technology

🏥

Health

Kobayashi Create — The Gemba Philosophy & Battle-Tested Technology

The Kobayashi Create team did not open with slides. They opened with a philosophy: “Gemba” — a Japanese term meaning “the actual place where work happens.” Rather than analyzing from a distance, Kobayashi embeds directly in hospitals, factories, and facilities, studying real operational flows before designing any solution. It is an approach that has earned them trust across the globe.

Two core technology domains anchored their presentation — both immediately relevant to Vietnam’s healthcare and administrative landscape:

🔐 Authentication & Tracking

RFID/QR-based matching and tracking for high-security documents — vehicle certificates, transit tickets, medical records. Tamper-proof, traceable, precise.

🏥 Medical Automation

AI-integrated patient identification wristbands and automated blood collection tube preparation systems — eliminating human error in clinical settings.

Finding Common Ground — And the Road Ahead

The dialogue moved across several candid, substantive exchanges. What stood out was how naturally both sides converged on a shared conviction: that precision and people must sit at the heart of every technology solution. This was not coincidence — it was the meeting of Japan’s industrial discipline with Vietnam’s maturing startup ethos.

Both parties explored the potential of integrating Kobayashi’s medical authentication hardware into SPHACY’s pharmaceutical digitization ecosystem — a direction that could create breakthrough value not just for Vietnam, but for the wider Southeast Asian region.

The meeting ended with handshakes and photographs. But what lingered was not ceremony — it was an unfinished conversation, awaiting its next chapter.
