After VIFS 2026 Vietnam,
Open to Partners Worldwide
ClickRobot and Math Talent by Dr.Ying bring 85+ branches and 35,000+ students of experience. Their debut at VIFS 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City drew strong investor interest, and both brands are now opening the same opportunity to partners in other countries.
Two of Thailand’s most established education franchises, ClickRobot Engineer Learning Center and Math Talent by Dr.Ying, made their international debut at Vietnam International Franchise Show 2026 (VIFS 2026) in Ho Chi Minh City on October 29–31. The response confirmed what their track records in Thailand already suggested: parents across Asia are looking for proven STEM programs, and investors are looking for education brands with real systems behind them.
Vietnam was the first step, not the last. More than 50 visitors registered for in-depth franchise discussions at Booth R08, and the organizer brought around 20 buyers to meet us each day. Building on that response, both brands are now accepting partners in Vietnam and opening the same opportunity to investors in other countries, across ASEAN and beyond. If you are outside Vietnam, you can request the franchise information for your market today.

Why education franchising, and why now
Across Asia, F&B franchising is crowded and margins are under pressure. In Vietnam alone, more than 50,000 F&B outlets closed in the first half of 2025, and investors are now choosing brands more carefully.3 Education is different: demand is driven by parents investing in their children’s future, students stay enrolled for years, and the category is far less saturated.
Vietnam shows the gap clearly. Of the 331 foreign franchise brands registered with the Ministry of Industry and Trade, 48% are food and beverage, while education accounts for only 39 brands (12%).1 Thailand is already one of the main source countries for franchises in Vietnam.2 What we heard at the booth from parents in Ho Chi Minh City (questions about AI, coding and math foundations for young children) is the same demand we see in Thailand and across the region.
| Foreign franchise brands in Vietnam, by sector | Brands / share |
|---|---|
| Food & beverage | 159 (48%) |
| Fashion | 44 (13%) |
| Education | 39 (12%) |
| Other | 89 (27%) |

ClickRobot Engineer Learning Center
ClickRobot Engineer Learning Center is celebrating 21 years of robotics and coding education in Thailand. The brand runs 45+ branches across 21 provinces and has taught 5,000+ students, with an international-standard robotics and coding curriculum that starts from age 3 and builds toward AI.4 Franchise partners receive comprehensive support covering curriculum, teacher training and business operations.
“Most visitors asked about AI. Our program builds that foundation from age 3.”
The ClickRobot team rated their first international show “10 out of 10” and said they had never seen so many visitors at a franchise show. Asked whether ClickRobot could succeed in Vietnam, the answer was immediate: “Sure. Definitely.”
- Why investors like it: a 21-year operating history, a large domestic network to learn from, and a program built around the skills parents now ask for first: AI, robotics and coding
- Partner sought: long-term strategic partners, from single-unit franchisees to area developers and master franchisees
We had Vietnam in mind,
but didn’t know where to start.
