Programme purpose

More than a visit.

The programme is designed to give Vietnamese businesses first-hand access: direct exchanges, side-by-side comparison and the selection of models worth studying and applying in Vietnam.

How Japan organises and runs its nursing homes; technology that eases staffing pressure; care, rehabilitation, nutrition and safety; and opportunities to connect with Japanese companies.

The intended outcome: each participant leaves with the models, solutions and Japanese partners best suited for further evaluation, piloting or development in Vietnam.

Three focal points

How the mission is structured.

The group is capped at 8–15 guests so that surveying, interpretation and direct exchanges with Japanese organisations stay unhurried and thorough.

01 · CareTEX Tokyo 2026
Survey equipment, technology, robotics, management systems, nutrition and care-facility operating solutions.
02 · Facility visits
Visit elderly-care facilities and nursing homes to see how day-to-day operations are actually organised.
03 · Business matching
Identify the right Japanese partners: operations, equipment, technology, workforce training and cooperation in Vietnam.
Itinerary overview

Five days in Tokyo.

01Day 01 · 15 Dec

Vietnam → Tokyo

Private transfers to Noi Bai / Tan Son Nhat airport; NKI accompanies the group from Vietnam to Tokyo.

A private car meets the group at the airport and brings everyone to the hotel. In the evening, we review each participant's survey objectives together.

02Day 02 · 16 Dec

CareTEX Tokyo

Survey facility models, equipment, technology and solutions with potential for Vietnam; note the booths and companies worth returning to for deeper discussions. A quick debrief closes the day.

  • Elderly-care equipment
  • Beds and mobility support
  • Robotics that ease staffing load
  • Rehabilitation · Bathing & sanitation
  • Facility management · Health monitoring
  • Senior nutrition and food
03Day 03 · 17 Dec

CareTEX + business meetings

Return to the shortlisted booths, prioritising exchanges with the Japanese companies that fit the needs of the group and of each individual member.

NKI arranges the meetings: nursing-home operators, equipment suppliers, care-tech companies, training providers and partners interested in the Vietnamese market.

04Day 04 · 18 Dec

Care-facility field visit

Visit elderly-care facilities and nursing homes: layout and design, staffing, care processes, nutrition and the technology actually in use. The facility list is confirmed before departure.

The focus: separating what can be applied in Vietnam from what needs adapting to local staffing, cost and operating culture.

  • Space: design, room layout, beds, circulation, rehab areas
  • Operations: care processes, staffing, risk control
  • Expertise: dementia care, rehabilitation, nutrition, safety
  • Technology: equipment in real use and deployment conditions
05Day 05 · 19 Dec

Wrap-up → Vietnam

A free morning for shopping and dining. The group then consolidates the models and solutions worth pursuing in Vietnam, sorts the follow-up work, and gathers at the hotel for the airport transfer.

With you throughout
