Kaopiz, a Vietnamese software company serving clients across Japanese and English-speaking markets, has been named a Gold Winner and Best of Category in the "Company of the Year - IT Services" category at the 21st Annual 2026 Globee® Awards for Technology.

Founded in 2006, the Globee® Awards are a merit-based, data-driven program judged solely by independent industry experts worldwide. A Gold Winner must score 8.5 or higher, while Best of Category goes to the single top-scoring entry in its category - a distinction Kaopiz earned against more than 875 nominations.

Innovation and social impact behind the win

Kaopiz's recognition rested on two pillars: innovation and social impact. The company treats AI as a core growth engine, with market-validated products including its Smart OCR solution and an Agentic AI platform for education - the latter named in the Top 10 of Việt Nam's "Make in Việt Nam" Awards.

Beyond commercial work, Kaopiz has brought IT access to more than 1,000 disadvantaged children across five provinces and cities through computer rooms, equipment donations and long-term CSR programs - contributions that have twice earned a Certificate of Merit from Việt Nam's Minister of Science and Technology.

"This award reflects Kaopiz's journey toward becoming a global digital transformation partner, where we co-create value with clients through innovation," said Lê Văn Hoàng, CEO of Kaopiz Holdings. "Technology only truly matters when it drives growth and creates positive impact for society."

From offshore services to a DX partner

The award reflects a broader shift - from an offshore software services provider to a digital transformation (DX) partner for enterprises modernising legacy systems and adopting AI. For Japanese enterprises especially, that transition is complex: balancing ageing core systems against the demands of cloud, automation and AI amid a shortage of specialised engineers.

Kaopiz's portfolio spans the full journey - legacy refactoring, cloud migration and optimisation as an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, 24/7 infrastructure monitoring, and offshore teams embedding AI automation such as OCR, data extraction and validation into operational workflows. The approach favours gradual, risk-managed transformation over wholesale system replacement, keeping enterprises operational while they modernise.

Sustained growth and a "Go Global" strategy

The repositioning is showing in results. Kaopiz closed 2025 with 50% revenue growth and now runs nearly 1,000 engineers across Việt Nam, Japan and Singapore - its Singapore office opened in late 2025 - with over 1,000 projects delivered in finance, education, retail, logistics, manufacturing and healthcare.

Built on twelve years of growth and a strong presence in Japan, Kaopiz is now expanding into English-speaking markets under a "Go Global" strategy targeting 50% average annual growth from 2026 to 2030. Company leadership called the Globee® recognition not an endpoint but the next milestone in taking Vietnamese technology and talent global.

As AI and geopolitical shifts reshape the global technology industry, a Vietnamese firm sustaining high growth while winning recognition from a reputable US-based awards program signals the rising competitiveness of Việt Nam's technology sector on the world stage.
