■Comment from the Representative

We are truly honored to receive two prestigious awards, the “Best Workplaces Ranking 2024” and “ITviec Vietnam Best IT Companies 2025.”

At our company, under the mission of “Be a creator,” we value a culture where each individual takes ownership of their actions and continuously works to improve teams and services. This culture is supported by the efforts of our employees, who contribute to the company’s growth every day, and we express our heartfelt gratitude for their dedication.

In Vietnam’s IT industry, there is high fluidity among engineers, making the recruitment of talented engineers a key challenge. To address this, our company has actively welcomed internships from top-ranked universities, recruited skilled senior engineers, and provided unwavering support for goal-setting and skill development tailored to individual career paths. These efforts have enhanced our appeal as an “environment that fosters growth.”

Additionally, to ensure that each employee can consistently demonstrate 100% of their potential, we have developed a well-managed system, ensured work-life balance, and implemented remote work options to create a comfortable working environment. As a result, we are very pleased to have achieved high employee satisfaction, which contributed to this award.

Moving forward, ZIGExN VeNtura aims to further enhance its technical capabilities and service quality, striving to become a leader in the ZIGExN Group and the IT development sector in Vietnam.
