IBCT’s teleconference solutions use mobile devices and applications that operate on the basis of the Internet of Things as well as hardware already available in conference rooms, thus helping decrease investment in teleconferencing.

IBCT aims to provide teleconferencing services to all government agencies in Vietnam as part of the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities.

Teleconferencing helps save time and money, making it convenient for people to join conferences from different locations.

KOTRA is an agency under the South Korean government that promotes foreign trade and investment relations. KOTRA Hanoi provides wide-scale support to South Korean companies doing business in North Vietnam, including investment consultancy, market research, as well as legal and tax consultancy.

KOTRA encourages and supports the CSR activities of South Korean companies. Since 2011 the agency has been handing out the annual CSR award to South Korean companies that contribute to the community and welfare of Vietnamese employees.

IBCT was set up in 2014 as a 100 per cent South Korean-owned information technology company. The company has joined many projects of the Vietnamese government.
