On February 26 (local time), within the framework of a working trip to the United States, a delegation from Da Nang City led by Mr. Ho Ky Minh, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Da Nang City People's Committee, visited and worked with Intel Technology Group (headquartered in Washington DC).
At the meeting, the two sides discussed and agreed on a number of specific cooperation contents on supporting the development of artificial intelligence (AI) training in Da Nang. In 2024, the Da Nang Center for Research and Training in Circuit Design and Artificial Intelligence (DSAC) will coordinate with Intel Corporation to organize training for lecturers in the field of AI to create a source of proactive and organic lecturers for Da Nang City. Intel Corporation also introduced and invited AI-related research projects of Da Nang students to participate in a global competition organized by Intel.
This is the second time that Da Nang City has sent a delegation to the United States to promote investment in the semiconductor and AI sectors. Da Nang is currently researching and developing policies to attract experts and overseas Vietnamese to work and contribute to the development of semiconductors and AI in the locality. These policies are expected to be approved in June 2024.
The cooperation between Da Nang and Intel is not only an important step forward in building qualified human resources to meet the technology market, but also opens up many new development opportunities in terms of job opportunities and access to modern technology.
It is expected that the Da Nang City delegation will work with Intel Corporation in Santa Clara on February 29 to agree on program details and methods for implementing AI human resource development training in Da Nang in 2024 and the following years.
On the same day, the delegation visited and worked with the World Bank (WB) in the United States.
Specifically, Da Nang City introduced its investment environment and strengths, especially in the field of high-tech development, investment attraction, and human resource training in the fields of artificial intelligence and semiconductors. At the same time, it proposed that the WB have solutions to support training in the fields of semiconductors and artificial intelligence in Da Nang City; the WB should expand the project to develop STEM training for high school students in Da Nang City.
According to Mr. Alex Twinomugisha, Head of the World Bank's Technology and InnovationEducation Group, in the coming time, the World Bank will continue to support Vietnam in implementing two major orientations, including advising the Ministry of Education and Training on education development to enhance Vietnam's global value chain by 2045; supporting the Ministry of Planning and Investment in building resources for the semiconductor and AI sectors.
For Da Nang, the unit will work closely with DSAC to provide policy advice to support AI research for universities in the area. The WB President will visit Vietnam in mid- or late March 2024. The two sides have agreed to hold further cooperation discussions after the delegation completes its trip to the United States.
