Training cooperation with foreign enterprises: A breakthrough lever for the semiconductor industry

DNVN - Major General, Professor, Dr. Tran Xuan Nam - Deputy Director of the Military Technical Academy said that in order for the semiconductor industry in Vietnam to make a strong breakthrough in the coming period, it is necessary to further promote the connection between universities and the world's leading semiconductor enterprises.

In the context of the strong development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the semiconductor industry is becoming a core factor determining the strength of the digital economy, while influencing the development of breakthrough technology industries, from artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data to automation.

In addition, complex developments in global geopolitics have prompted countries to diversify their supply chains and seek more stable and sustainable sources of components.

Vietnam, with its great advantage of being a country with stable politics, good economic growth for many years, and a young, abundant workforce with a passion for creativity, is a promising destination for investors in the semiconductor industry.

Vietnam is a promising destination for investors in the semiconductor sector.

Mr. Nguyen Chi Dung - Minister of Planning and Investment emphasized that Vietnam's goal is not only to participate in the global value chain, but also to build an advanced and attractive semiconductor industrial ecosystem in the region and the world. To do this, the Vietnamese Government has identified promoting the strengths of Vietnamese culture and people to become a strategic breakthrough in the country's socio-economic development in the new era.

In particular, focusing on investing in developing high-quality human resources for the semiconductor industry to meet domestic and foreign needs. The Ministry of Planning and Investment has accompanied businesses and leading universities in the country and internationally to introduce training programs and at the same time introduce the most modern software into teaching, especially in areas such as microchip design, testing and packaging.

During the implementation process, the National Innovation Center (NIC) has also closely cooperated and gathered the participation and support of many large semiconductor enterprises such as Cadence, Synopsys, Qorvo, Siemens, Marvell, ARM, Samsung...

The Ministry of Planning and Investment has assigned NIC to coordinate with the US Department of State and Arizona State University to launch and implement the program in Vietnam, with the goal of training more than 4,000 microchip packaging and testing engineers from now until the end of 2025. In addition, Vietnam is also actively cooperating with the US, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Europe, etc. to jointly train human resources and develop the semiconductor and artificial intelligence industries.

Professor, Dr. Tran Xuan Nam - Deputy Director of the Military Technical Academy recommends promoting the connection of universities in Vietnam with the world's leading semiconductor enterprises.

Major General, Professor, Dr. Tran Xuan Nam - Deputy Director of the Military Technical Academy commented: The semiconductor industry requires very high technology, but Vietnam does not really have much experience in the field of research, production as well as training human resources for this industry.

Mr. Nam highly appreciated the actions of the Government, the Ministry of Planning and Investment, and NIC in building a model of connection between domestic universities and leading foreign enterprises in the semiconductor industry. This is an unprecedented model.

“In order for the semiconductor industry in Vietnam to make a strong breakthrough in the coming period, the Ministry of Planning and Investment and NIC need to continue to promote, even further promote, the connection between universities in Vietnam and the world's leading semiconductor enterprises.

Through this, schools can access the most advanced technologies in the field of microchip manufacturing, turning universities into real centers for connecting and training semiconductor human resources," said Mr. Nam.
