SINGAPORE , Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On 21 November 2025, Kaopiz, a leading Vietnam-based technology company with strong operations in Japan and APAC, officially launched its new office at 1 Raffles Place.

Singapore: A Strategic Market for Scalable Engineering
Singapore's technology sector continues to expand rapidly as businesses accelerate AI adoption, cloud modernization, and digital transformation. Yet talent shortages remain a challenge. According to the ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey, 78% of IT employers in Singapore report difficulty hiring skilled engineers. With more than 55,000 SMEs and a fast-growing base of digital-native companies, demand for sustainable, high-quality engineering capacity has never been greater.
By establishing its Singapore office, Kaopiz aims to help businesses bridge capability and capacity gaps through faster engagement, local consulting support, and access to scalable engineering teams across the region.
Mr. Nguyen Cong Thanh, Director of Kaopiz Global, highlighted the office's strategic purpose: "Kaopiz Global was formed to lead the Go Global strategy of Kaopiz. The Singapore office is a critical link in our international network — a place to connect multinational clients, develop regional-scale solutions, and strengthen consulting and delivery capabilities for English-speaking markets."

The company offers flexible engagement models — from staff augmentation and dedicated offshore teams to hybrid onsite–offshore delivery and project-based services — allowing organizations to scale efficiently while maintaining high delivery quality.
The Role of the New Singapore Office
The new office will serve as the company's APAC headquarters for sales and consulting, acting as a strategic hub for English-speaking markets, a gateway for multinational enterprises operating across Asia, and a launchpad for delivering regional-scale digital solutions.
Its proximity to customers enables more direct engagement, stronger governance, faster onsite support, and accelerated delivery cycles through local account management.
Mr. Kai Zhien Chan, Product Manager at QuantumTX, shared his perspective during the event: "We greatly value the technical capability, dedication, and consistent quality Kaopiz has demonstrated over the years. Their decision to open a Singapore office is timely and aligns perfectly with market needs. This presence gives us — and many other enterprises — even greater confidence in long-term collaboration."
