Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - The Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI)and the SME Support Japan organisation introduced J-GoodTech, a Japanese onlinebusiness matching platform, to Vietnamese enterprises on June 19.

J-GoodTech is an online platform connecting business between Japanese small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with partners.

The platform currently has 17,000 Japanese SMEs as members and more than 7,000businesses from other Asian countries.

J-GoodTech members are businesses operating in many fields and categories, suchas electronics, machinery, metals, food, distribution, logistics and B2Bservices.

Vietnamese enterprises participating in the platform can connect, shareinformation on their businesses, products, cooperation needs, as well as learnsimilar information from other members.

From that, Vietnamese firms can associate businesses, consume products, andco-operate in production.

Nguyen Van Hai, head of the foreign affairs department under the VCCI, saidthat in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries had applied importand export restriction policies and implemented strict medical quarantinemeasures.

This has made business matching and partner and customer searching with theoutside markets of both Vietnamese and Japanese businesses in the traditionalform difficult, said Hai.

In that context, taking advantage of digital technology to connect businessesvia online trade was a very useful solution, he added.

SME Support Japan will also hold a free online business matching event tosupport business cooperation between Vietnamese and Japanese businesses fromJuly 13-17 through the online platform Microsoft Teams.

Vietnamese businesses only need to register fully-authenticated information,and use mobile phones or personal computers and laptops to participate in thematching./.
