The simplistic concept of “just export infrastructure technology” should be regarded as an out-of-date myth in the international construction market; added value is only generated when infrastructure projects are supported by comprehensive intangible technology enabling the infrastructure to be operated as a standardized system. The paper discussed the importance of international platform to achieve the diffusion and customization of technology standards by illustrating a project introducing pave management systems in Vietnam. In this case, engineering education by Kyoto University on asset management for road administrators and engineers in Vietnamese Government as well as university researchers have been one of major ingredients to become a strategic bridgehead for forming alliances and counteracting existing de facto standards.
