CCS — Circular Care System
Through CCX's Social Impact Fund, we committed VND 6.5 billion (~USD 260,000) to Circular Care System (CCS) — a Vietnamese impact venture building the first integrated training-to-retention platform purpose-built for the SEA–DACH healthcare-workforce corridor.
What the cheque funds. 18 months of full operations across the migration corridor — candidate recruitment from Vietnamese nursing schools, German-language and clinical-skills training, ongoing coaching, hospital placement in Germany, and post-arrival life-integration support across the critical first six months. First cohort: 25 nurse-students.
What we bring beyond capital. Strategic positioning for international accelerator selection, competitive market intelligence on the migrant-nurse corridor, data-product design for AI-powered retention risk scoring, and direct introductions on both Vietnamese training-school partners and German hospital placement partners.

Our client — a cybersecurity company whose solution had been deployed across 21 countries — needed to localise its narrative for Vietnamese tech-savvy audiences and digital-transformation leaders. Strong global proof points; weak local resonance.
What we did. Market-narrative redesign anchored in the Vietnamese digital-transformation context, journalist and analyst mapping, executive op-ed and thought-leadership programme across leading Vietnamese tech and business media, and pre/post awareness tracking to prove the lift.
