The forum was organized by the National Innovation Center (NIC), Ministry of Finance , in collaboration with Hanoi National University and Ho Chi Minh City, with the participation of two leading technology corporations in the world, Lam Research (USA) and Dassault Systemes (France).
The forum aims to build a cooperation platform between the state-school-enterprise to promote a high-quality human resource ecosystem in the semiconductor industry.
Taking place over two days, June 12-13, in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, both in person and online, the forum provided a lot of practical information about new technology and the semiconductor industry.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the forum in Hanoi, Director of the National Innovation Center (NIC) Vu Quoc Huy expressed his hope that the forum would be a breakthrough in the semiconductor training model using digital technology . "The advanced digital platform will help Vietnam develop internationally competitive human resources," Director Vu Quoc Huy pointed out.
On this occasion, Mr. Vu Quoc Huy called for and respectfully invited universities of engineering, information technology, and electronics to test the digital twin platform in teaching. Next are information technology and manufacturing enterprises: to contribute to building standard programs and practical projects. In parallel, students and young engineers with a passion for technology: to participate in technical sessions, gain practical experience, and connect with professional networks.
Also at the forum, international and domestic experts shared global trends, practical lessons, and demonstrated Digital Twin technology applied in education, research and chip manufacturing.
In particular, Lam Research (USA) brings Semiverse Solutions, a fully digital semiconductor manufacturing engineering simulation and training ecosystem, simulating steps such as etch, deposition, clean... without the need for expensive physical fabs.
Also speaking at the forum, Mr. Andrew Goh, Vice President of Lam Research (USA) affirmed: “Semiverse expands semiconductor industry training opportunities, helping global human resources easily access realistic and intuitive virtual factory environments, thereby shortening the time to readiness for the workforce”.
Within the framework of the forum, Dassault Systèmes (France) introduced 3DExperience - an integrated system that simulates the entire design process to chip manufacturing, which has been successfully deployed at international universities such as Purdue (USA).
As shared by Mr. Lo Van Ba, Country Director of Dassault Systèmes in Vietnam: "Virtual Twin technology allows students and engineers to access laboratory-standard simulations remotely, contributing to narrowing the gap between theory and industrial practice".
The forum also introduced a successful model from Purdue University, USA (2024), where the Lam Research-Dassault-Purdue 2024 alliance built a virtual lab environment for the STARS (Summer Training, Awareness, Readiness for Semiconductors) program.
Notable results: More than 750 students participated in 2 training courses; physical training costs were reduced by 60%; skill practice time was increased by 3 times compared to the traditional model. This model is considered a suitable practical simulation model for Vietnam to learn from, especially in the context of not having enough large-scale physical fabs (cards) for training.
Vietnam has formed a large-scale regional semiconductor and artificial intelligence ecosystem.
Statistics in Vietnam today show that the semiconductor ecosystem has made remarkable progress. Currently, there are about 6,000 semiconductor engineers working in more than 40 local enterprises. However, the demand for IT and technical human resources in our country has now reached 150,000 people/year while the actual supply only meets 40-50%.
It can be seen that with the combined efforts of the state-school-enterprise-international, and learning from successful regional models, Vietnam is firmly on the journey to participate deeply in the global value chain - from assembly to design and manufacturing with a professional, flexible and advanced human resource system.
According to the schedule, the forum will open in Hanoi on the morning of June 12, and in the afternoon of the same day, there will be a technical session introducing students of Hanoi National University, and in the afternoon of June 13, there will be a technical session introducing students of Ho Chi Minh City National University.
Previously, on the afternoon of June 11, a working delegation from Lam Research Group (USA) and Dassault Systemes (France) also had a working session with Deputy Minister of Finance Nguyen Duc Tam at the headquarters of the Ministry of Finance. The parties agreed on the contents of strategic cooperation in the near future to promote the semiconductor ecosystem as well as develop the semiconductor human resource community in Vietnam.
