Promoting the development of the semiconductor industry, creating momentum for growth

On the morning of August 4, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Head of the National Steering Committee for Semiconductor Industry Development (SIPDI), chaired the second meeting of the SIPDI to set out tasks to promote the development of the semiconductor industry in the coming time.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired a meeting of the National Steering Committee on the development of the semiconductor industry.

The meeting was held directly at the Government headquarters, online with connecting points from a number of provinces, cities, universities, academies, and high-tech zones.

In his opening speech, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the fourth industrial revolution is taking place very strongly, especially in the semiconductor, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, internet of things industries..., making important contributions to the development of each country, including Vietnam.

Vietnam has been implementing many resolutions, programs and plans to develop the semiconductor industry, including Resolution 57 of the Politburo on science and technology development, innovation, digital transformation and resolutions of the National Assembly and the Government related to the development of the semiconductor industry such as: Strategy for developing Vietnam's semiconductor industry to 2030 and vision to 2050; Program for developing human resources for the semiconductor industry to 2030, vision to 2050.

According to the Prime Minister, the implementation of resolutions, programs and plans for the development of the semiconductor industry has achieved initial results, but they are still modest and have many difficulties and challenges.

Considering that the development of artificial intelligence based on Vietnamese data depends heavily on the semiconductor industry, the Prime Minister requested clarification of what has been done, what has not been done, the causes, and lessons to promote the development of the semiconductor industry, especially in human resource training, infrastructure development, investment attraction, resource mobilization, and semiconductor industry ecosystem development. In particular, it is necessary to propose cooperation models between State entities, schools, and enterprises in the development of the semiconductor industry, so that Vietnam can take shortcuts, get ahead, break through, and surpass in the semiconductor industry.

The Prime Minister also requested to propose tasks and solutions in leadership and direction; call on and mobilize relevant entities, promote Vietnamese intelligence in design, production, assembly, packaging, and participate in the global production and supply chain of the semiconductor industry.

The Prime Minister asked leaders of ministries, sectors, localities, businesses, experts, managers, and scientists to focus on in-depth discussions to promote the development of the semiconductor industry, create motivation, inspire, and contribute to the country achieving the growth target of 8.3-8.5% this year and double digits in the following years.
