The Make In Vietnam Awards — organized annually by Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology — is where the country’s most impactful digital products earn national recognition. The 2025 edition brought a landmark moment for NTQ Factory: NxFactory, its smart manufacturing platform, took home the Silver Award among the nation’s outstanding digital solutions.

More than a trophy, this recognition carries weight. Make In Vietnam evaluates entries against rigorous criteria: real-world applicability, measurable business impact, and competitive readiness in international markets. Earning Silver in this field validates NxFactory not just as a promising product, but as a mature, deployable solution capable of driving meaningful change on the factory floor.

The Problem NxFactory Was Built to Solve

To understand why this recognition matters, it helps to understand the pressure manufacturers are operating under right now.

Global supply chains have never been more volatile. Product lifecycles are shrinking. Customer demand for customization is rising. And skilled manufacturing talent remains in short supply across the region. Traditional production management systems — built for a more predictable era — were never designed to handle this level of complexity.

NxFactory addresses this gap directly. Rather than digitizing existing processes, the platform enables manufacturers to fundamentally rethink how factories operate, sense, and decide. It connects the shop floor to the control room to the boardroom — creating a continuous intelligence loop across every layer of production.

Core capabilities include:

• Automated real-time data acquisition from machines and production lines
• Equipment condition monitoring with early fault detection
• AI-powered predictive insights to stay ahead of disruptions
• Intelligent production planning that adapts to live operational data
• Multi-dimensional reporting and dashboards for operational leadership

The result is a shift from reactive firefighting to proactive optimization — and from gut-feel decisions to data-backed confidence.

Measured Results, Not Just Features

Make In Vietnam doesn’t reward ambition alone — it rewards outcomes. NxFactory’s track record in live deployments demonstrates exactly that:

These figures come from real factory environments, where every percentage point translates directly into margin, capacity, and competitive advantage.

Mr. Nguyen Huu An, Vice CEO of NTQ Factory, put it plainly: “This recognition affirms our vision to build a technology platform that enables manufacturers to operate leaner, gain real-time visibility into data, and compete confidently across global value chains.”

Three Consecutive Years on Vietnam’s Innovation Stage

The 2025 Silver Award doesn’t stand alone — it’s the latest chapter in a consistent record of national recognition:

2023 — Gold Award for NTQ’s Global Development Center (GDC)
In its first-ever Make In Vietnam entry, NTQ claimed the top honor in the Outstanding Digital Products for Foreign Markets category. The GDC model now serves clients across more than 20 countries, delivering specialized technology from Vietnam to global markets.

2024 — Top 10 New Digital Technology Products for NxUniverse
NTQ’s comprehensive Generative AI ecosystem earned recognition for its cross-industry versatility and its potential to transform how organizations work with knowledge and information.

2025 — Silver Award for NxFactory
The smart manufacturing platform extends NTQ’s innovation track record into one of the most demanding and strategically critical sectors in the regional economy.

Taken together, these wins tell a deliberate story: NTQ has built innovation capability across three distinct technology domains — global delivery infrastructure, AI ecosystems, and manufacturing intelligence — without losing depth or quality in any of them.

Why This Matters Beyond One Company

For years, Vietnam’s smart manufacturing software market has been dominated by international platforms designed for Western or East Asian factory contexts. NxFactory is changing that equation.

Built by a Vietnamese team, for manufacturers operating in the region’s specific economic and operational context, NxFactory offers something global platforms often can’t: deep local relevance without sacrificing technical sophistication. The Make In Vietnam Silver Award is independent confirmation that the platform meets international standards — not just local ones.

This has practical implications for manufacturers evaluating digital transformation investments. A locally developed, nationally recognized solution means lower integration barriers, more accessible support, stronger cultural alignment, and a partner that understands the nuances of doing business in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

What Comes Next

NTQ Factory is committed to deepening NxFactory’s capabilities — expanding AI-driven features, broadening integration support, and scaling the platform’s reach into new markets beyond Vietnam. The ambition isn’t only to serve domestic manufacturers well, but to demonstrate that Make In Vietnam technology can compete and win in international markets.

The 2025 Silver Award marks a milestone. The road ahead is about turning that milestone into momentum.
