Idem Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Ryo Kabayama) held an opening ceremony on March 14, 2026, at its Vietnamese subsidiary, 'AIDEM VIETNAM COMPANY LIMITED,' established in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Idem Global has been a registered support organization for Specified Skilled Workers since 2019, providing one-stop support from introducing foreign workers to handling application documents and implementing support related to acceptance. AIDEM VIETNAM, established as Idem's local subsidiary, began its recruitment agency business within Vietnam in January 2026. Through this opening ceremony, we express our gratitude for the significant support received to date and aim to broadly communicate our future business prospects. We welcomed representatives from major Vietnamese universities, Japanese companies expanding into Vietnam, and partner companies, striving to strengthen cooperation for future relationship building. The ceremony, held on March 14, 2026, featured a dance performance by students from the employment support university, followed by a thank-you speech from Mr. Toshiaki Goshogo, General Director of AIDEM VIETNAM. Mr. Sugihara, First Secretary of the Embassy of Japan in Vietnam, and Dr. Huynh Dang Chinh, Vice President of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, also attended and gave congratulatory remarks. Speech Excerpts: Mr. Sugihara, First Secretary, Embassy of Japan in Vietnam: 'Japan continues to face labor shortages due to an aging population and declining birthrate, making it a challenge for each company to secure workers, including foreign nationals. The role of companies connecting Vietnamese talent with Japanese companies will undoubtedly become more important than ever. Many Japanese companies are eager to accept Vietnamese workers, as they are extremely diligent and talented. We expect AIDEM VIETNAM to actively continue its activities to meet such demands.' Dr. Huynh Dang Chinh, Vice President, Hanoi University of Science and Technology: 'For Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Japan has always been an extremely important strategic partner in education, research, and technological development. Many of our engineers have studied and worked in Japan, and upon returning, have actively contributed to the development of both Vietnam and Japan. We are confident that fruitful cooperation will continue to be built between Idem and Hanoi University of Science and Technology as Vietnam vigorously develops its high-tech sectors and key industries.' Mr. Kenji Kurihara, Director, Idem Co., Ltd.: 'Supported by the warm people of Vietnam, we have moved forward rapidly from establishing a resident representative office to establishing a local subsidiary. Idem and AIDEM VIETNAM, with everyone's support, aim not only to realize employment from Vietnam to Japan but also to support those returning to Vietnam from Japan and job seekers/changers within Vietnam, striving to be an indispensable presence for Vietnamese people and companies.'
